Importing existing digital media files You can import existing digital media files that are supported by Movie Maker to use for your project. The files you can import might be stored on and imported from your hard disk on your computer, a shared network location, a CD, or on

For example, if your current project contains a short introduction to a movie, you can save the existing project with a new name and then continue editing. When you wanted to create a new movie that includes the same short introduction, you can then open the original project file that contains only the introduction, and then make additional edits without needing to re-create the introduction of your movie.
