Save WMM

• From the main menu, choose File gt Save Project.
• Windows Movie Maker saves the project in the file
  format .MSWMM which allows for editing at a later
  time.
• When your movie is complete, you have additional
  options for saving the file, so that it may be
  played in a webpage or emailed, for example.
• These other options do not allow editing, so it
  is important to save your working file in the
  Movie Maker project format.
