==Windows Media Pad==

The earliest known version of Windows Movie Maker, then known as '''Windows Media Pad''', was found on an early build (2416) of Windows ME. This version is drastically different than 1.0, with a unique layout that is not seen elsewhere. More information can be found [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows%20Me%20build%202416 here].

==WMM 1.0==

==WMM 3.0==

Another unreleased beta version of Windows Movie Maker, found on Windows Longhorn (Vista beta) build 4093. Another completely unique build with its own "Avalon" styled layout; it did not get very far in development and is almost unusable. More info can be found [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows%20Longhorn%20build%204093%20(main) here].

==WMM 6.0==

The version of WMM bundled for Windows Vista. Being the first major revamp of the software, many things changed in terms of functionality. 3D plugins were no longer possible (pseudo-3D still worked). Time stretching maintained the audio pitch (compared to all other versions, where it did not). This is handy as you can use it to [[Pitch Shift#In Windows Movie Maker|pitch shift]] without changing video speed.

==Windows Live Movie Maker (WLMM)==

This version of WMM was bundled with Windows Live, a plugin package released for Windows 7. ~~The~~ second redesign of the software, ~~which unfortunately dumbed it down quite a bit~~ and ~~removed almost all plugin support. However, it is~~ the only ~~WMM~~ to have MP4 support, along with a way to upload directly to popular streaming sites (~~which~~ no longer ~~works~~).

This version of WMM was bundled with Windows Live, a plugin package released for Windows 7. This was the second major redesign of the software, and the only version to have MP4 support, along with a way to upload directly to popular streaming sites (now no longer functional). However it was also simplified quite a bit, removing almost all plugin support.

Two versions of WLMM exist, one from 2009, as well as another from 2012 with minor improvements.
