  • Adding my own music to Windows Movie Maker projects & computers mi change project.

    I used Windows Movie Maker to make two DVDs for the graduation of daughter gifts.  I was almost done and tried to add my own music but can't seem to figure out how.  In addition, I discovered that my disc on my computer was not working so I saved my projects to a USB key and went to another computer.  When I opened the project format and title pages were there, but all the photos that I spent hours to download and organize projects disappeared.  How can I get my projects into DVD, and how do I add my own music in them?  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'm short on time.

    The Movie Maker project file does not include the source files
    (Photos, video clips, music videos) it simply records the path
    the files have been imported since the file/s.

    Whan you see red Xs where thumbnails used to be
    in Movie Maker, it indicates the original source files have
    been deleted, moved, renamed or is otherwise not available.

    If you had a backup file of all source files on your new
    system, you can right-click on the red Xs and get access to the
    location of the files and restore the path, otherwise
    you will have ot start again.

    With regard to the addition of your own music... If you have any questions
    import music files it is probably a problem of format.
    Convert music clips on the. WMA format before
    import into Movie Maker should provide a better result.

    There are many converters available on the net... the
    the following link is an example:

  • Windows Movie Maker-how do I change the details of the clip

    Windows Movie Maker question

    I created a video clip in Windows Movie Maker, but I need to hide some of the numbers displayed in the clip.  For example, to place a black box on a small part of the clip to hide certain details.  How can I do this?

    If the video has been created from photos yet...
    It would be easier to edit the photos before
    import.

    If your project has been created from video clips...

  • Windows Movie Maker-how can I change the file format?

    It's my first time using Movie Maker, and I edited a song from my iTunes library. I want to save it in mp3 format, but when I saved it, it wouldn't let me choose the file format. I went to the post, and he published automatically as a video. I just want the audio.

    How can I save it in mp3 format?

    Also, how can I open with iTunes? I managed to do save as just audio and click Open with > iTunes. But he comes to open iTunes. The song won't play.

    PS Movie Maker is not for the recording of the songs, conversion of songs, etc. It is open with application.

    For files of music itumes, here are the choices...
    1. you need Quicktime or Real player to open and play.
    2. you can google for a free audio converter and convert your itumes songs in wma, mp3 or wav formats. Then, you can use Windows Media Player (NOT movie Maker) to play the songs.
    3. install a free media player called VLC. He plays almost all formats.

    Well, I was very happy when the program doesn't stop after following your advice and unchecking above named filter. But then, after it scans the file (which is a progress!), he says he cannot continue because one or more of the files contains a codec that is not supported by AutoMovie. I don't even know what a codec IS. I know who was Kojak, and I know what is Kotex, but what the heck is a codec and how do I get one?

    Thank you!

    ==================================
    Maybe the following article offers some ideas:

    "What exactly is"Codec"and why would I ever need it?
    http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/multimedia/f/codec.htm

    It is difficult to know what codec, you may need to because it
    is based on the format of your source files. And it is possible
    You may have some compatibility issues with one or more
    source files.

    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

    It may be interesting to try to download and install a codec pack...

  • No video shows when you import clips in movie maker mpeg video

    I am running xp home with service pack 3 installed. When I try to import mpeg movie clips in moviemaker now only the audio shows, before they imported correctly.  I've done this before and the films I've done import and play very well, but when I try to import clips I origionaly used to create the film there is no video. the clips play fine in media player, but not in movie maker. What has changed.

    Hi, Johns53,

    Have you tried to uninstall Service Pack 3, restart the computer and restart the clips?  They work then?

    If so, reinstall the SP3 and perform the following steps

    Visit the site of the manufacturer of the video card driver updates

    Open the Device Manager

    Right-click on the video driver and select Update driver

    Right click on the driver and select uninstall

    Restart the computer

    Windows will reinstall the drivers

    Clips of retry.  They work now?
