      The videos, pictures and music the project uses, as they are on your computer (any folder; they are matched by file name). Without them you still get the files for other editors, but no MP4.

      Options
      Make the MP4

      When the project's media files are uploaded, the movie is made as MP4. Choose "Editor files only" to skip it.

      As Movie Maker would choose from the media (1080p for HD videos and pictures, otherwise 720p or 480 lines for 4:3), or a fixed height.

      More options

      Older .MSWMM projects keep a small picture of every clip. Show it in place of a file that was not uploaded (and make a small version of the movie from the project alone), or show a card with the file's name.

      Where the videos, pictures and music will be on the computer you edit on, for example D:\Videos\Holiday or /Users/me/Movies/Holiday. The editor files then point there instead of to the paths Movie Maker had.

      Your files are deleted after processing.

      Open a .wlmp file without Movie Maker

      A .wlmp file is a Windows Movie Maker project: the plan of a movie, not the movie itself. It names the videos, pictures and music on your computer, how long each one plays, the transitions, title cards and captions. Movie Maker is no longer offered by Microsoft and often won't install on Windows 10 or 11, and no other program opens these projects.

      Upload the .wlmp file here together with the videos, pictures and music it uses, and get the finished movie as an MP4 that plays on any computer, phone or TV, or uploads to YouTube.

      Finding the media files

      The project remembers the folders the files were in when you made it (often Pictures, Videos and Music on the old PC, or a camera's memory card). Upload the project on its own first: the media list in the results names every file it needs and the folder it was in. Then upload the project again with those files; they can come from any folder, they are matched by name.

      If some files are gone for good, the movie is still made: each missing file is replaced by a card naming it, so everything else stays in time.

      Privacy

      Results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes, or straight away with "Delete now".
