When you read this, you should already have selected your footages with AFP-reporter.
This means your selection is "ready to use" in the Viewer basket.
1/ In Viewer do Ctrl+A on your selection in the basket
2/ Move this selection to WLMM with a drag and drop.
You are now workink with Windows Live Movie Maker:
3/ Check you are editing in 16/9e : In Tab "Project", click 16:9e
4/ To change the order of your footages: In the bin, click the thumbnail of the sequence you need to move and drop it off the good spot.
5/ To edit use keystrokes J,K,L and I,O
Hit Keystroke K to play and stop (or space bar)
Hit Keystroke J to go left and L to go right
Hit Keystroke I to remove left part of the line
Hit Keystroke O to remove right part of the line
Hit Keystroke M if you need to split the footage.
Also you can hit the arrows to move from sequence to sequence
6/ Regulary Save the project on your desktop: Pess CTRL+S
7/ When edition is ready go to "Save Movie", and click "AFP_50is" . Save your movie on your desktop: "My-Movie1.wmv" for exemple
8/ When exportation is done, drop this "My-Movie1.wmv" file off Avidemux to compress it with the scripts and do as usual.
If ever you use a Nikon D4s or a Canon 1Dx you are now able to record in 1080p/50 (check the D4s page).
You need to add a profile in Movie maker to be able to save your movie at the right size. please follow those steps.
Also you must NOT use Avidemux to compress your movie.
Possible bug:
A kind of slow down may appear when playing the movie in Movie Maker
Just remove file C:\Users\Afp\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Movie Maker
Also it can be a hard disk issue. In menu Options/Advanced you can try first to tick (or untick) the option "prepare file for faster editing".
FAQ
Is it worthwhile using it ?
Well, this it what you get with WLMM + Right Shark-Codecs :
-A history (ctrl z)
-You can change the order of the sequences.
-You can mix sources, size, framerate, even .Mts ...
-Insert photo (not to use for now)
-A high-speed cutting (keyboard shortcut keys "I" & "O")
-A better interface
-Integrable in AFP-reporter (F10 button = no need anymore to drag 'n drop)
-Very stable
-Free
But WLMM compresses very poorly, in a very poor format: The reason why you still have to use Avidemux to compress.
Why not before ?
First, WLMM is only working on Win7, second it is a ressource hog and we had to wait for everybody to be equiped with a fast computer.
