Movie Maker - how to restore a lost file?

Apparently if you put a Toshiba laptop to sleep while running Movie Maker, it crashes.  As a result, I lost the file where I worked on all day - for a project that is tomorrow.  I saved the file several times while I've been working on this, but since the accident, the file back to a much earlier saved version (which is of no help).  Movie Maker does auto-sauvegardes?  Is it possible to get it back?  Can anyone help?

  • 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.

    If you open the document in Word and copy/paste the content in a
    image editor... Windows Paint (for example)... you can save it as an image
    format. .jpg or .bmp would be good choices. Then you can import the
    photo in Movie Maker.

    If the document is large and complex you probably can not read in the
    resulting file in Movie Maker Movie. John Inzer - MS - MVP - Digital Media Experience - Notice_This is not tech support_I'm volunteer - Solutions that work for me may not work for you - * proceed at your own risk *.

  • make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the duration of a photo of a single image

    make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the time image (time peak is seen) a single image that is different from the default time?

    I posted the Live Movie Maker tutorial because
    your question is posted in a forum for Windows 7.

    In Vista Movie Maker 6... There are three ways
    to change the duration of a specific picture that
    is already on the timeline.

    FWIW... the change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    (1) you can increase or decrease the duration
    a specific image by adding an effect:

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    (2) for the timeline... you can change the
    duration for each clip manually. Move your
    pointer on on the edge of an element up to the
    you see a double arrow. Now, drag the
    double red arrow... you will see a ToolTip that
    Watch the evolution of life.

    (3) the term may photo on the timeline
    easily be doubled by simply adding another
    an instance of the same photo next to him.

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

    not included with Windows Live Movie Maker.

    Best bet IMHO... create new projects, or install earlier versions of Movie Maker.
