Windows Movie Maker is a free tool that is on most PC’s and can be used to produce your first information dvd product from your camcorder, screen capture or powerpoint presentation. The trouble is that they only give you one video track. This presents a problem if you want to cut away in your video to a picture whilst you are still talking in the background.

In the video above, I show you a simple way that you can add a picture cut away into a video clip. Other video editing programes like Sony Vegas has multiple video tracks making this a lot easier to do.

The tip in the video will add a more professional look to your presentation and don’t forget, this is a free bit of software.

When you have finished editing your video in Movie Maker, you can then create a menu for your dvd in windows dvd maker software. This should automatically prompt you to start this software up when saving your project.

If it doesn’t, you may not have it installed. visit the microsoft website for the download.
