How to Import and Edit QuickTime (MOV) Files in Windows Movie Maker

“I don't know how to convert my QuickTime (MOV) videos to Windows Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker can't recognize them.”

“I'm trying to use Movie Maker in Windows 8.1 for the first time. Every time I open a .mov file, Movie Maker immediately crashes. I've attempted it several times and the program has shut down each time.”


MOV is Apple QuickTime Movie file type developed by Apple. As MOV was designed specifically for QuickTime environment, it can suffer problems outside of that environment as we mentioned at the very beginning. On the other hand, Windows Movie Maker (WMM) is one of the most popular video editing programs in the Windows operating system and it has received a lot of praises. With it, users can effortlessly create movies in WMV, AVI, ASF, MPG video formats. However, if you want to import QuickTime MOV to Windows Movie Maker, then you will be disappointed with the result.

Kinds of files can be used in Movie Maker:



Video file types (format)


File name extensions


Windows Media Video (WMV) files


.wmv


Windows Media files


.asf and .wm


AVCHD files


.m2ts, .mts, and .m2t


Apple QuickTime files


.mov and .qt


DV‑AVI files


.avi


Microsoft Recorded TV Show files


.dvr-ms and .wtv


MPEG‑4 movie files


.mp4, .mov,.m4v, .3gp, .3g2, and .k3g


MPEG‑2 movie files


.mpeg, .mpg, .mpe, .m1v, .mp2, .mpv2, .mod, .vob, and .m2t


MPEG‑1 movie files

  3. Control the break of any recording inside Movement 5 and look as 3D sections and shards fly by the camera. inMotion3D Smash's movement is programmed and adjustable, so clients essentially need to drag, drop a generator into the course of events, apply their media to the Drop Zone, and look as it breakes.
