It's been in beta for some time, but today, finally, Windows Live Movie Maker has gotten its release papers.
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.
