2. Before that, make sure you have video editor like Sony Movie Studio Platinum on your computer. its not free, but if you want to use free video editor, you can use Windows Movie Maker, you can download one for free at www.microsoft.com. I use Movie studio platinum for making AMV. You can use another video Editor. The Basic is same.
