The Basics
1.Screen Recorder
This is the easiest part (I think) of
making a Club Penguin movie. There are many of screen recorders to
choose from. Here is a good one.
http://www.camstudio.org/ (Reccommended) This
is probably the best free screen recorder out there. It has just about
everything you need to record you video. This is the one I am currently
using.
If you want to find another screen recorder, just go to www.google.com and search screen recorders.
————————————————————————
2.Video Uploading Sites
The best way to let others see your Club Penguin movie is to upload it to a video uploading site.
The best site is www.youtube.com. This is what many CP movie makers use. That is also the site that I use. (You must join the site to upload your videos)
You could also upload your movies to sites such as www.photobucket.com. It may be quicker to upload the videos there, but it is not the best place for others to find without you telling them about it.
————————————————————————
3.Writing a Story
There are many ways to write your story.
The main thing about writing a CP movie, is to take your time on it.
That way, you can think of many ideas, characters, and settings for
your movie.
-You can write your movie storyline down a sheet of paper.(Best Method)
-You can also type it on the computer.(Best Method)
-You could also think about your story for the movie while you are recording the movie.(Worst Method)
If you need certain characters for your movie you could just do it yourself.
You could also try to get others to take part in your movie by posting
a thread about it with all the information in the Movie Meet-Ups
section.
=============================================
Making the Video (The following is used with Camstudio)
1.Choosing a Video Region
This is an important part that many
people do not quite get on their first recording. A video region, is
the area on your screen that you will record. Most screen recorders are
just a click and drag to the length and width of the video region. You
can access to making your video region by clicking on the region
section or by clicking options, then clicking the region section.

2.Setting Key Shortcuts
Key Shortcuts just makes it a lot easier
to make and record you videos faster. Key Shortcuts are just certain
single buttons that you press that can stop, pause, and record your
video to what ever keys you use. To set you key shortcuts, just go to
options, then key shortcuts.
————————————————————————
3.Saving the Video
Saving the video that you recorded is
quite simple. One you clicked the quit record button, or the key
shortcut button that stops the video, a small box should come up for
you to type in the name of the video file. After you typed in the video
file name, just save it.
=============================================
Importing for the Video
1.Importing the video
Importing the video is quite easy, just as long
as you saved the video file correctly. Just click “Import Video” on the
right side of the screen of Windows Movie Maker. It should bring up the
list of movies that you recorded, and save by name. Just click the
video that you want and it will be put on the collections list.
2.Importing Pictures
This is also quite easy to do. Just save a
picture that you want to your pictures, and then click “Import
Pictures”. It will bring up the document of all your pictures. Just
click the pictures that you want, and it will be added to the
collections list.
3.Importing Audio or Music
Okay. This is the part that many people
have problems with. To import an music or audio file, the best way to
do it, is to save the file to your documents. That way, as soon as you
click “Import Audio or Music”, it will bring up your documents and the
music and/or audio file should be there if you saved them correctly.

=============================================
Putting the Video Together
1.Saving the Video
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS PART. This is
what many people may mess up on. I messed up on this myself at first.
When you are finished and want to save your video, and be able to
upload to a site such as youtube. You have to click “SAVE MOVIE FILE”.
It will tell you what to do from there. Also, make sure you save to
your computer.
2.Uploading the Video
Now like I had said earlier before, the best site you upload your CP video is too www.youtube.com. Remember you have to join to do this.(Which is free!)
Click upload. It will tell you to name your movie, description, tags
and etc. When you get to the uploading screen, click browse. If you
save the movie file correctly, it will be some where in the document
page that came up. Depending on the connection, and the length of the
video will depend on how long it will take to upload. After it is
upload, you will just have to fill in a small bit more information
about your video.
NOTE:Your video may be uploaded, but it may be awhile before it is live and available to view on YouTube.

Like BT06 said, it is just a guide to possibly help others that have little knowledge on making a video.

I noticed that, but I added this guide because it is more complex.

This should be stickied because it is very helpful and useful! Even though I don't have Windows Movie Maker (I think) it was very helpful to me. Thanks for the guide, Biggyp!
