Open a New Project

Upon opening the Movie Maker application you should name and save your new project. Do this by clicking CTRL + S or by using the File -> Save menu. This will open a window prompting you to name and save your new project.

If you're saving the project to an external drive it's helpful to first create a Movies folder. Saving all of your video projects here makes them easy to find and keeps the drive more organized.
