MiniTool MovieMaker is a video editing program that's designed with user friendliness in mind. You can insert transitions into your videos and add animated titles or credits to complete almost any kind of project.

Users are free to change the overall aesthetic of any video that they import into the app. It offers a number of creative filters as well as professional-level 3D LUTs for this purpose. Perhaps most importantly, this means that users can correct color-related issues when posting their content to popular social video sharing sites.

Those who want to make their own game trailers or edit let's plays should find that MiniTool MovieMaker can do so with ease. Users can shoot footage and then annotate it with an audio track later, which leaves them free to focus on whatever tasks they're filming at the time.

Splitting large videos into smaller segments is as easy as dragging on a single timeline. This makes MiniTool MovieMaker a particularly attractive option for those who find more sophisticated video editing packages to be bloated. You shouldn't run into anything here that will get in your way while you're trying to edit a large amount of footage.

This focus on simplicity also ensures that MovieMaker should always start up as quickly as any small desk accessory might.
