I am using Movie Maker and I have 2 quick questions!

1. I use photos (not video) to make my film and instead of having just a slideshow of pictures, I would have effects (such as slow by zooming in on the pictures). Is this possible?
2. I use a song to play the sequence, and it is long, about 3 minutes, but my movie is a little less than 2 minutes long. Is it possible to cut the song short and maybe it will fade out?

Thank you! :)

    I have converted a home video to use in movie maker a. VOB file to a XVid file. When I try to import this file filmmaker gives an error message. I installed the XVid codec, but I still get the same message.

    Filmmaker only works with some .avi files?

    I managed to convert the file to a XVid, avi and wmv file and they all play. But none of them will import into WMM.
    I also checked that the codecs are installed correctly.

  • . Treated AVI as Audio in Movie Maker and corrupt in Windows DVD Maker.

    I have a lot of. AVI files I want to burn to a DVD.  I do not have another series of. Notice to try with these programs to see if it's just them.

    Windows Movie Maker treats as Audio files, I tried to disable compatibility filters.  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    Creating Windows DVD said me:

    0 files were added successfully.

    File (s) X could not be added.

    The files

    [Name of file]

    is not valid or is corrupted.

    I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    I tried to convert the files with "Any Video Converter", but there is a substantial loss of the quality of .wmv and mpeg conversion.

    I tried "of Aimersoft DVD Creator' trial, but video lags behind audio when I play the video in this program.  The videos show very well "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".

    How can I fix these files. AVI or convince Movie Maker and DVD Maker to care for them properly?

    Thank you j of volunteering.

    I used Freemake for one of the .avi files convert an .avi file. This increased the size of the file by more than 300% no change in quality.  Windows Live Movie Maker considers the new .avi properly, but not creating Windows DVD or Windows Movie Maker, they still refuse to import or use it as audio, respectively.

    I have converted the new .avi to .wmv with Freemake file and it seems that the quality is actually improved from the original. Windows DVD Maker will accept this new .wmv.

    I'll convert others, burn and return with the results for the benefit of anyone else who has this problem.

    Convert .avi .avi files then .wmv and burn with Windows DVD Maker have exceptional results.  As seen on TV quality is slightly better than the quality of the original .avi files on the computer.  Don't know what attribute this too, but I'm pretty happy.
    Sorry for the late reply, but it took time to convert, convert, burn and test.

    Thank you very much for the help.

  • Unable to save my movie in high resolution using Movie Maker 2.6 (Win 7)

    Hello:

    I spent a ton of time and produced a slide show of wedding for the wedding of my daughter with overlay of music and various transitions. After all that work, I can't save my project in the movies high resolution using Movie Maker 2.6. I tried to go up to 512K Broadband (except option). But anything on this resolution, the film becomes black at some point. But you can still here the music. Why? Is it possible to go to resolutions higher for a slide show of bin? It is a powerful laptop with plenty of memory.

    I have closed all other applications. Uncontrolled codec / file type compatibility etc. No difference. BTW, the file does not transfer or open to the latest Live Movie Maker help. That might have been a solution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • AVI format not recognized by Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player

    HI, I use the Camileo S10. Download AVI files to PC (Vista) and openness to all ArcSoftw goes well.
    I want to edit the films widely and must use Movie Maker for that. This AVI format used by Toshiba is not recognized. I tried several Codecs but my last hope lies with Toshiba to supply a Codec compatible Vista that works.

    Please provide a Codec for Movie Maker to AVI from Toshiba format...

    Hello

    Microsoft Movie Maker supports wmv format.
    If you want to change other formats, then you must use the option: import video.
    This will help import videos saved in another format.

    Otherwise, you need to install a free tool to convert avi to mpg.
    You can then use the Movie Maker for editing video.
