Try converting the MP3 to WMA format before

You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
desktop and install from there.

Once installed...drag/drop your audio files on the Sothink
icon to start the program. Then, in the encoding settings...
Choose... Generic Audio / WMA Audio (*.wma).

Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    Hello

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. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  • No sound from the added music from iTunes in Windows Movie Maker project

    Windows Movie Maker, probs with the addition of music

    Ideas: I try to use windows movie maker, I have all of the clips, but you want to add music.  I bought a song from i tunes when I try to add with the audio link add song is not in the folder it says nothing matched your search.  I put in manually and added when I play it the line moves as she must play, but there is no sound

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hi Bauer327,

    iTunes music is in AAC format, which is not compatible with Windows media player. You may have to convert the format AAC to MP3 and then try to add it to windows media player.

    ITunes music sometimes has DRM protection. You will need to remove the protection license, and then try with windows media player.

  • Loading a video from facebook to Windows Movie Maker

    Thank you

    Hi Marlene,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    1. using Windows Movie Maker in Windows Live Movie Maker?

    2 when was the last time you were able to download the videos?

    3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    . WLMP files aren't really movies, this is why you cannot view it with something else. A .wlmp is a film project file, it is essentially the "recipe" to create the final product.

    I would also like to inform you that Facebook accept only certain types of file formats.

    You just need a step more in Movie Maker, you must publish the movie, which will create the AVI or WMV file or whatever the format you choose. Then, you can download the files. Try it and tell us if it helps.

    Through Facebook help page to learn more.

    If the problem persists, you can also publish the query to the Movie Maker forum.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need help with Windows. We will be happy to help you.

    I downloaded some video footage to my office at the top of a camera. I tried to import it into Movie Maker off the file to my desktop but without success. The files are of MTS

    Movie Maker doesn't support mts, which is a form of HD video file. How to properly edit these files without loss of resolution is to use a burner to Editor/Blu-ray HD such as Sony Vegas Pro 9, which is very expensive and complicated. There are programs to convert mts and other HD of old formats files, but they usually cause loss of resolution. There are a few players, such as some versions deluxe Cyberlink PowerDVD which will play Blu - ray discs and isolated from the HD files, but you need a fairly fast computer with plenty of memory to play well on high-resolution Blu - ray.
