Images in a Windows Movie Maker project do not appear in the table of Storyboard

Opening of a creative film project

I try to use windows movie maker, but when I opened a project I worked on, the imported images and storyboard table display more photos that I imported.  Instead, there is the title of the photo with a big red X, where the captain is supposed to be.  Help!  How can I open and work on a project that I have already started?

====================================
Movie Maker project files do not include your source files...
photos, video clips, music files, etc... When these files are
moved, renamed, deleted or is otherwise not available...
you will see red Xs in Movie Maker. If files are always
available, you can click with the right button on the red Xs and go to the
files and attempt to restore the path.

  • Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

    Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

    I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

    the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

    So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

    =============================================
    The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
    because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
    files... always be available at the original location.

    Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
    all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
    Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
    You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
    establish the path.

  • Windows Movie Maker project doesn't find or burns correctly in DVD maker overview

    I have created a Windows Movie Maker project, composed of many avi files (129 min) and I can see the entire project in Movie Maker, but when I go to burn a DVD in DVD maker I can only listen to excerpts from the first minutes 33 and the rest is a black screen with no audio (as if there's nothing there). Also when I burn a DVD only burn the first 33 min.  I tried to publish the project to my computer in WMV format, but I get an error when I try to open in DVD creation that the file is not indexed and cannot be opened in creation of DVD. I tried to uncheck the vidoe filters and that has not worked.  Help, please. I put many hours of work into this and am very frustrated.

    The file is too large and complex. The best would be to create
    several small projects... To each post in the. WMV or. DV - AVI
    format in a folder on your hard drive. Then you can import the collection
    video files in DVD Maker and each clip becomes a scene
    (Chapter) on the DVD. (You can have up to 18 scenes).

    The following links explain how to post:

  • I do not understand why my creation of windows DVD burn only 1% of one of my windows movie maker projects.

    Hello

    I made a video of my Windows Movie Maker project and have tried several times to burn through my Windows DVD Maker with the burning of 7% max.  After that, it gets stuck.  However, my other several attempts were a result of burning of 1% and it stuck.  I've left overnight to see if it was the capacity but the next day it is still 1%.  I did other projects without problem.  It is only with this project.  I don't understand why it won't let me if I used Windows movie maker without problem.  The video was originally in AVI, but I was able to convert a 3GP using dvdvideosoft software. Then only, I have done a project using my Windows Movie Maker.  The full minutes of this project is 90 minutes, while the DVD that I want to burn it holds 150 minutes.  Can you help me?  Tried several things and can not find the solution.  I don't know that there must be a solution.

    What or who persuaded allows you to convert AVI, which is supported by Windows, to 3GP, which is not supported by Windows?

    If you must, convert AVI to WMV format.
    Bypass Windows Movie Maker.
    Add the WMV video in Windows DVD Maker directly.
    Try to burn now.

    If you have saved the project .mswmm file... you can reopen
    and continue to edit the individual elements of the project.

    If you published (recorded) in the movie WMV format...
    You can re-import but this will be a single clip just like any

  • Windows Movie Maker project disappeared, need help!

    I was recently working on the 3rd video of the year for my daughter using Windows Movie Maker. I worked on it for a few months now. I save every 10 minutes or more. I was almost finished and clicked on save, and I got a popup that I was 'Out of Memory' that happens from time to time. Then I tried to save it under a different name, and then I got a new popup that says "unknown error." I decided to close Windows Movie Maker, and then restart the computer. I then noticed that the icon/file for my project was no longer visible. I checked the trash and he wasn't there. I did many searches for it on my computer with the file name and the file extension, nothing and also restored my computer to a few days earlier and the project file does not re - appeared. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you...

    Sorry... I was afraid that you might say. If the file has been
    removed somehow... There may be a chance to find:

    There are programs of software designed to recover the
    deleted files. The following freeware is an example...

  • 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:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory (freeware)

    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First... after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your music files on the main screen...

    Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

  • Cannot publish the Windows Movie Maker project

    I created the project video with Windows Movie Maker, but I can't publish on the computer, a dvd or as an attachment to e-mail.  The program continues to operate in the error "check the original source of file, a place edition available and available disk space and then try again."  How can I post in any of these formats?  What Miss me?

    This error occurs when the project is too big or too complex for
    system resources or it contains files sources (photos, video clips,
