Windows Story Remix is a new feature in Photos for Windows 10, replacing Windows Movie Mixer that Microsoft discontinued in 2017. It has a video editor with music, filters, transitions, and 3D effects. The workflow allows for you to organize or storyboard your media with drag and drop features that many can use easily.

What can it do?

  • Create dynamic movies with phone footage
  • Customize movies with transitions, filters, music, and 3D effects
  • Draw on a photo with Windows Ink
  • Import your own audio for more customized videos
