In windows movie maker, failed to get the narration and music to play at the same time

Hello
I have followed the instructions to the T, but cannot get the narration and music to play at the same time.

Hi Anataia,

You are unable to play the music and narration at the same time, you can adjust the audio levels to determine which audio will play louder than the other in your movie.

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:

  1. Click on Tools, then the Audio levels.
  2. 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.
    • To increase the level of audio that is located on the audio / music, drag the slider to Audio / Music.
  3. Click close.

    =======================================
    Just some thoughts...

    It may be useful if you are going to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab...
    and uncheck all filters.

    Also... it might be a compatibility problem with your source files...
    (videos / photos / music 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

    Also... If it is a large complex project, you could have a system
    the question of resources. The answer would be to create
    more modest projects.

    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

    ====================================
    Just because a media file plays in Windows Media Player
    does not ensure that it is compatible with Movie Maker.

    In fact... Movie Maker has problems with MP3 files... better
    bet would be to convert the files to the .wma format before
    import into Movie Maker.

    The following freeware program can perform the conversion:

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

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

    Drag and drop your clips of music on the main screen...

    Select "At?" / OK...
    (the? is the format of your choice)

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • If Windows Movie Maker video publishing gets crushed half size

    Hello

    I have Vista Home Basic and whenever I publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker, even if I don't cut and regardless of the length of the film, if its 3 minutes and 3 seconds, the end result is that the video is compressed vertically and the lower half of it is a green screen Uni. Half top shows the entire video, but she is crushed to half its normal height. Even the icon on my desktop shows the Green band at the bottom half. Before that, all right. I can change everything normally, but when he did publish, the final product is messed up. I don't get an error message. The files I'm trying to edit/publish are. AVI. I don't have any other file types to test and see if it's only this type of file, originally a problem.

    Anyone know what is happening?

    Oops, sorry.

    I followed your link, a search in this forum for "Publication of Windows Movie Maker error" and came up with a net with this linkhttp://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=884 follow the instructions and it doesn't work, so I followed the directions again and this time no selected in the region of , click on and it worked! The Green band is gone! Normal appearance vids! Thank you!

  • Windows Movie Maker does not show the extire file

    original title: VOB's with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.

    Ok.  I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape.  There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long.  I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube.  I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos.  When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it.  I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension.  I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG.  Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41.  He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV.  I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker.  I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well.  I copied all the files on the DVD also.  There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files.  Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer.  He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him.  Any help would be great.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the info.  I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video.  So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total.  After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video.  All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it.  Thanks for your good help.

  • Windows Movie Maker will not show the video

    I made a video in the movie player to windows, but every time I have save and play the video don't market not appear, but the fact of the audio. How can I make the video show?

    Hi laura234646,

    Did you check if the problem occurs with another drive?

    This problem may be caused by audio\video filters present on the computer.

    Step 1: I suggest that disable you video filters and driver, to do this, follow these steps:

    Director of open windows,

    1. click on Toolsand then click Options.

    2. click on the compatibility tab.

    3. to turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.

    Now, check if the problem is resolved.

    (See the section, what can I do if I have problems with video in Windows Movie Maker filters?)

    If the problem persists,

    Step 2: Reduce hardware acceleration to check

    1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.

    2. click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.

    3. click on the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    4. reduce the hardware acceleration slider to zero.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:
