I found some videos that they are using Windows Movie Maker, but with a different layout than mine. But Windows Movie Maker is now discontinued, is there anyway I can download the like-new Windows Movie Maker?

    Windows Movie Maker is and always was a free program which is part of Windows Essentials.

    Good that you didn't use the links which were supplied by another user and which will be soon deleted by an Abuse Moderator.

    Although Windows Essentials is not supported (won't get any updates) anymore, you still can download the offline installer. During the installation you can choose which programs you want to install.

    I would recommend using the VideoPad by NCH Software. It's a free video editor that offers a wide range of editing functions.
