~~'''~~Windows Movie Maker~~''', also known as '''WMM''' is a editor by [[Microsoft]] that used to come with older versions of [[Windows~~]] ~~(8 and older). It has been deprecated as of January 2017.~~

~~Because~~ it ~~came~~ bundled with ~~Windows for~~ free, it ~~was~~ very popular in the early days of [[tennis]]. In modern times however WMM has largely fallen on the wayside to modern editors like [[Vegas]] as it becomes increasingly unstable on modern machines. Despite this, it has been seeing a resurgence by persistent players who want to see a return to more "classic" style of play that involves doing more with less and caring less about "showing off" with impressive visuals.

'''Windows Movie Maker''' (also known as '''WMM''') is a non-linear video editor (NLE) by [[Microsoft]] for Windows computers. While it used to come prepackaged (or as an add-on) with versions spanning Windows ME to Windows 8, as of January 2017 it has been deprecated and no longer updated or bundled with modern machines.

WMM is free and very easy to use compared to more sophisticated editors, making it very popular in the early days of [[tennis]]. In modern times however WMM has largely fallen on the wayside to modern editors like [[Vegas]] as it becomes increasingly unstable on modern machines. Despite this, it has been seeing a resurgence by persistent players who want to see a return to more "classic" style of play that involves doing more with less and caring less about "showing off" with impressive visuals.

There was one major [[tournament]] that limited players only to WMM, the [[Windows Movie Maker Master]] tournament (WMMM), won by {{DaftPunkYoshi}}.
