• Saving audio settings of Windows Movie Maker in the film project file

  I understand how to adjust the volume of my audio track, but when I save the file, in the sound adjustments are not saved.  Is there an extra step in the audio recording?

  Hi Gmamma,

  Try the two methods mentioned below if you don't him have not yet tried and check if it works.

  Method 1

  The audio settings by default in Windows Movie Maker is for the audio portion of imported video and any narration or music that you add to play at an equal level, but you can change that setting if it does not give you the balance that you want. To adjust the audio levels, follow these steps:

  (a) click Tools, and then click Audio levels.

  (b) do one of the following:

  to increase the level of audio on the Audio track that is part of a video clip, drag the slider toward Audio from video.

  II. to increase the level of audio that is located on the audio / music, drag the slider to Audio / Music.

  (c) click on close.

  Method 2

  Adjust the volume of each audio clip individually, as follows:

  1. on the track Audio or Audio / Music of the timeline, select the audio clip that you want to adjust the volume.

  2. click on Clip, point to Audio, and then click Volume.

  3. to adjust the volume, do one of the following:

  ·        To reduce the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the left.

  ·        To increase the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the right.

  ·        To cut the video, select the Mute clip check box.

  ·        To restore the volume to the original volume, click reset.

  The file Morrison\Moondance\05 in the Mystic.m4a of C:\Users\kathy\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Van cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer.

• Windows Movie Maker, create empty audio files from Audio CD through Media Player playback.

  I am trying to integrate audio CD in Windows Movie Maker by using the Microphone of CD Audio in Windows Movie Maker game and reading the CD with Media Player file. The file is created very well with the small notes on the icon, but reading, there is no sound. I went into control panel - household and made sure that all the sound elements was not checked in as volume controls 'mute' and turned everything up to full. Playback of the audio in the player, once I hit 'record' in WMM and the operation starts. I hit stop when the desired recording is over... but the files play 'empty' back in WMM and Media Player. This procedure has worked well for me in the past, so it's very frustrating that it has suddenly stopped working.

• All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

  All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

  Hello

  1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

  2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker.

  You can use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  trying to convert them to WMA format before

  Just because a file is played in Windows Media Player
  does not ensure that it will be compatible with the film

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Music - wma, wav, wmv

• Problems with the implementation of the chronology of the railway imported into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: problems with rails imported into Windows Movie Maker.

  I'm working on a project, and every time I import tracks, I can't place in the timeline because WMM has managed to turn them into securities that are long 9784 hours. I played against them on several different media players and they were all the lengths they are supposed to be, but once they are on WMM, they are totally foires.

  Is there a reason why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

  Hi PixieNinjaReprise,

  1 have you downloaded the songs from any online store?

  2. is the song that is protected by digital rights management?

  Check the file format and see if this file format is supported by the Director.

  However, you can drag the song at the beginning of the time online click fade at the end of the song.

• Windows Movie Maker (version 2.1) does not open my .mswmm project.

  The WMM gives the error message "stopping" whenever I try to open this project.  I have Windows XP.  My project was started about 18 months ago, and I believe that WMM has been automatically updated since then.  I thought that an older project could be opened in a new version of WMM, although a more recent project could not be opened in a previous version.  I'd really like to reopen this project in order to complete and save, because I spent a lot of time to compile.  Would appreciate any help that can be given.  Thank you

  Hi ElisabethLee,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. are you able to create and save a new project using Windows movie maker files?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP uses video and audio filters when you import, preview and record movies.

  I suggest that you turn off the video and audio filters in Windows movie maker and check if it works.

  To change the video filter settings

  (a) click on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the compatibility tab.

  (b) in the list of video filters, you can enable or disable a filter by selecting or clearing the check box.

  Change the video filter settings

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/MovieMaker/change-video-filter-settings

  Method 2

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• How can I make a slide show in windows movie maker without being reduced image quality?

  I have recently created a slideshow with audio (songs) in windows movie maker, as I do not have powerpoint. When I read the production, the quality is perfect on the screen a small excerpt, but as soon as I open it full screen pictures are of very poor quality.

  Is it also the possibility to create this slideshow on a DVD format to burn to a disc and play in a DVD player (in the windows movie maker program and without having to create the DVD in another program).

  Thank you very much

  You post to the XP forum, so this info is for XP.

  The display resolution is reduced when we look at
  the Timeline/Storyboard...this will not affect your
  completed project (especially noticeable seen)
  full screen). If you view the item by selecting it in the
  Part of collections that better, he should look like.

  If your video file .wmv recorded are not resolution
  you need... you may need to use a custom profile:

  In Movie Maker... (assuming that your source files are high quality)
  You can increase the resolution of your video by slideshow
  using a custom profile when recording in .wmv movie format.

  Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
  useful when recording movies.
  Slide show-1024x768WMV9

  Download from the following site...

  Movie Maker - economy
  Movies - profiles custom WMV

  Right click / Save as... drop in the following folder:
  Folder of C:\Program Maker\Shared\Profiles Movie

  If you do not have the profiles folder... you
  to create.

  In Movie Maker... the next time that you save a movie...
  Go to file / save movie file / show more choices.
  Other settings / open the window menu and choose...
