Windows Movie Maker: Capturing Video Using a Video Conversion ...

You have a few options for getting multiple movie clips imported.
Option one: use the start and stop capture buttons to capture all the desired clips in one large
video file. Begin playing the imported video clip by clicking on the clip and then clicking the play button
on the preview window. Once the video reaches a point that should be another video segment, click the split
into two clips icon and the video will be split at the point you click the button. Following this
method, you will end up with multiple clips in one collection.
Option two: go through the whole capture process for every segment you desire. For example: I
have a video of a Spring concert, a classroom play and students reading a poem. I need small portions of the
Spring concert and the students reading a poem. I will get the tape to the portion of the Spring concert I need
and use the stop capture and finish buttons. Then I will fast forward the tape to the students reading a
poem and start a new capture. Following this option, you will end up with multiple videos in the
collections area.
