everybody it's kept under-23 here and
today I'm going to be talking about
codex more specifically windows movie
maker codex if you have a camera that
shoots in high definition
nine times out of ten it's either going
to be in a dot MOV or a dot MPEG file
possibly a dot mp4 but those are mostly
for iPhones but most of the time it's
going to be in a MOV now as you can see
it will appear as a QuickTime file you
can see the little QuickTime next to
that actually be quite an old version of
QuickTime installed it came with my
video a video editing program called
Adobe Premiere but it doesn't really
matter um as you can see the little
QuickTime it says item type QuickTime
movie um right there and if you use
Windows Movie Maker like I do to edit
your videos you can make very
professional videos with Movie Maker but
this is what moviemaker looks I'm just
going to shrink it down a little bit and
you try to import them into moviemaker
first of all if you click import media
and you go to your desktop oh it already
is on desktop you're not going to be
able to see anything on the desktop you
can see where's the movie it's us all
media files that should be a media file
but if you click all files whoop there
it is Oh what's important important it
doesn't work it says see users insert
your name here desktop mvi blah blah
blah dot MOV could not be important this
is because Windows Movie Maker will not
import MOV files it does not come with
something called a codec which basically
allows it to read it a quick description
of that or analogy is you can't read a
language and the codec is teaching it
how to read a language so we're going to
go ahead and download this one it's
called k-lite codec pack and you can
download it here at the link in the
description K light codec pack it's free
from file hypo com
I'll put a link to its download in the
description of the video and so
basically all we want to do is double
click this and click run yes and it says
K light codec pack nine point eight
point zero full so we're going to click
Next and going to click advance
mode go through this yes I next next
next next you don't want to install that
you want to click Windows Media Player
Next Next Next Next and click no thanks
I don't want anything above those are
just what is it
toolbars you don't want them next
install it should go incredibly fast you
don't have to reinstall your computer
reinstall restart your computer click
registering files and it is done just
wait a sec let's redo that so just
finish and notice something just going
to close that out
this is K light codec pack right there
now what you're going to be able to do
is open up Windows Movie Maker and this
should be able to drag in and there it
is and that is how to put MOV files into
Windows Movie Maker
