Image control is a central part of the video editing process. Windows Movie Maker follows that same principles of allowing this kind of image control. For most editing systems this includes a whole collection of possible actions that can be taken on a given clip or sequence. You can add effects and filters, change the motion, or work on things like cropping. For more advanced professional non-linear editing package there are similarities because advanced editors should be able to cross over between software. Often times the same types of actions are found in the same areas so that there can be a certain amount of intuitive control even for novices to specific programs. Windows Movie Maker does not follow this pattern and actually places specific things, such as image control features, in places where a traditional editor would not think to look. This is especially true of rotating the image.
