Movie Maker 8.1 1.2.0.5
As it comes with pretty much all the basic features such a utility needs, the app should be a valuable helper for anyone, as you can discover for yourself by giving it a try.
Beautiful interface with a smart layout of the functions
The smooth GUI of this application offers quick access to all the tools and commands from the neatly organized workspace you have at your disposal. The preview area seems small at first glance, but it can be expanded to full screen mode if necessary.
Checking out how the effects will look onto the pictures or videos is effortless, as the preview is pretty responsive in this respect, but applying them takes quite a long time. Fortunately, changing the position of the time slider when moving forward or backwards through the edited movie is fluent and without glitches.
Customize projects with effects, trim and split clips on the go
There are many features you can put to good use, starting with the import of pictures, sounds and videos. Movie Maker 8.1 has numerous effects you can choose from to give each image an original look and you can set the duration for it to be shown from 1 to 10 seconds.
Moving items in the project's timeline is possible with one tap, while the trimming and splitting features will help you take out unnecessary footage in a simple manner.
Keep onto your phone
the videos you create or share them
Saving the newly created movies can be done locally and sharing the content is made possible through the instant upload features for YouTube and Instagram, while other options, like sending the movies through Facebook or via email can also be done.
The effects and transitions for the videos are locked and require a purchase to become available permanently. You can preview them and have one such external plugin for free only once a day.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The nicely designed layout of the app favors practicality, but not at the expense of visual appeal. The delays in applying the effects are quite time consuming, especially when dealing with lots of images that have to be customized. |
Function8
A well balanced feature set is provided by Movie Maker 8.1, with all the functions easy to access and use, as well as with unlimited undo/redo. Unfortunately, the trial limitation of 10 seconds per video, with a maximum of 30 encodings may not be enough for users to decide if it is worth paying for the full app. |
Security10
A very well-behaved application, this utility doesn't come close to any of the system areas it shouldn't be accessing, so it deserves all the appreciation for this. |
Battery8
Quite surprising for such an app, it has a low to moderate power consumption that minimizes the battery usage, even if the utility is working full-throttle. |
Price9
This application offers quite a lot for a modest price and the in-app purchases for the external plugins can be also well worth a few bucks, considering the impressive quality of the output and the ease of use. |
Compatibility7
Only Windows Phone 8.1 users are privileged enough to be able to try this app and it only needs a minimum screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels to work properly. |
