Rendering

The term rendering in video creation refers to finishing the movie. This step is very easy but can take some time. It is important not to work in other programs while the movie renders.

To render the photo story, follow these steps:

1. In the "Movie Tasks" column, find the words, "Finish Movie".
2. Several options are listed. Choose the option, "Save to my computer".
3. Type in a name for the photo story and choose a location to save the rendered product.
4. Once Windows Movie Maker finishes rendering the movie, the option to play the video will appear.
5. Burning finished movies to a disk will save space on the computer's hard drive.
