Hello,

I am using Windows 10 Pro and Processing 4.4.4.

I downloaded the _ **Movie Maker** _ tool from the _ **Contribution Manager** _ and had the following experience:

- Installed from _ **Contribution Manager** _:

- Launching _ **Movie Maker** _ tool is successful:

- Attempting to _ **Create movie…** _ fails:

- _ **ffmpeg** _ did not have an `exe` extension:

- After adding _ **exe** _ extension to _ **ffmpeg** _ manually:

In the end I ended up downloading _ **FFmpeg** _ and using that _ **ffmpeg.exe** _ in the _ **MovieMaker** _ tool folder:

> **[Download FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)**

I had a similar experience with W11 Pro (fresh install).

Anyone else experience this with a recent installation of the _Movie Maker_ tool?  
Please provide details about your environment.
