Windows Live Movie Maker leaves beta
Yes, it's got the love-it-or-hate-it ribbon interface. On its tabs are loads of transition effects, filters and fades, caption tools, and ready access to editing functions. Videos can be created in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios and resolutions up to 1080p. YouTube uploading is now built-in and other services like Facebook, SmugMug, Picasa, and Drupal-based sites can be added via plugins.
For those of you who, like me, don't want to deal with the Live installer, head on over to Softpedia to download the new version directly.
Remember, this baby is Windows Vista or Windows 7 only.
Quick-fix updates have also been pushed to the rest of the Live suite and the Messenger Geek has a list of links to the individual .msi installers.

I did love the Ribbon interface, but I'm horrified by the white, blue and glass colour scheme they've adopted with Win7. It feels like the whole screen is horrendously overexposed.

I'll have to test it all when I get home, but it looks like it's accepting the .mts files from my JVC AVCHD camcorder.

Should this be used instead of Movie Maker or as a separate program ?

Now the real question. DId it leave behind the suck that the beta had? Seriously, it was god awful compared to the original Movie Maker.

Well, judging from the screenshot and the description there are a lot more actual capabilities instead of just putting clips next to each other like the original beta. Can't tell if the timeline mode is back, but without it it's useless.

OK, so I installed it, and it doesn't have a timeline mode exactly, although you can trim clips now. Still a pain in the ass, but this one is at least usable, instead of completely useless like the beta. I still wish they had the Vista version of Movie Maker in 7 though, since I've already moved to 7 (MSDNAA ftw).

Can't read my Sony Handycam's AVCHD files. AVCHD Editor from http://www.avchdediting.com/ reads and edits them without any problem

But it's not free.
