'''Windows Movie Maker''', also known as '''WMM''' is a editor by [[Microsoft]] that used to come with old versions of [[Windows]]. It has been deprecated since Windows 8.

Because it came bundled with Windows for free, it was very popular in the early days of tennis.

Because it came bundled with Windows for free, it was very popular in the early days of tennis. However, as technology evolved and the meta shifted towards programs like [[Vegas]], using WMM was looked down upon due to being overshadowed by practically any other editor.

In modern times, WMM is often used for more "ironic" YTP/Tennis, intentionally lower effort works that focus more on comedic value. It also has seen use as a way to test one's abilities - how far you can push its limited capabilities to make a video "similar" to what is common with more sophisticated editors today.

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

While most commercial plug-ins do not work/ have versions for WMM, there are many custom plugins unique to WMM that exist, along with a select few professional plugin sets that work with WMM.
