• change the time between each photo in movie maker vista

  I am doing a slideshow using vista movie maker. I added music and it is great. BUT I can't change the length of time between each picture and the duration of transitions. I tried tools / options / and I can change out there, but it does not apply to my project. I also tried to do it manually but still no luck.

  Any help would be most appreciated.

  Maybe the following will help:

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

  If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
  all the pictures in the form of batches (select one and the type...
  CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
  or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
  duration. Simply select all clips / right click
  the effect on the menu... Choose...
  Add to storyboard table.

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

  "Slow Down, half ' double life.

  These effects can be added up to six times.

  If you need finer adjustment...
  the info may be useful:

  To the timeline, you can change the
  the duration for each picture manually. Drag the
  Garnish handle left or right to increase or
  reduce the duration. You can see a
  Tip displaying the change.

  Or... just to redo the project after changing
  the long-term: Tools / Options / Advanced
  tab.

  With respect to Transitions, see the following article:

  Windows Movie Maker Vista - add transitions and effects to pictures and
  video in Windows Movie Maker
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-transitions-and-effects-to-pictures-and-video-in-Windows-Movie-Maker

  In some cases, you can add a transition
  to every other picture... What follows... explains why:

  This happens when the Transition is
  the same or greater than the length of the photo.
  This setting must be entered before add

  It also works with the effects.

  Effects...

  The duration of the effects is not adjustable. As a work around
  to extend a fade in from black, you can insert a black solid
  .jpg that you can create in most image editing software.

  (FWIW... the intensity of certain effects can be increased
  If you right click on the picture and choose... Video effects...
  You can add up to 6 cases of effect)

  In Windows Paint (for example)... Open the photo / right click

  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.

• Movie Maker - freezing and jump

  All of the photos that I put in the windows program are clear, but when I play my full screen movie they are blurred.

• Windows Movie Maker - try to change your published movie, import songs from computer used in the previous film.

  to import the music that is on the computer used in an old file to windows movie maker, all other music on computer can be imported except the songs used before, uncertain, why is this? I also wanted to see if I can edit the published video so that I can make a template by making a second copy of it to edit photos?

  You should be able to re - upload the music you previously
  used in Movie Maker from the original location.

  If you still see the music in the film Collection pane
  Manufacturer and can not use the view is a good chance that it
  has been moved or deleted from the original location.

  If there is a X... Red try, right click and see if you
  can navigate to the current location of the music file
  and restore the path.

  Movie Maker does not archive copies of your source files...
  It simply records the path to the original location.

  If the published video is a. The video file WMV... it's not
  more editable in Movie Maker. But you can import
  and use it in the same way as you would for any other video file.

  If you still have the. MSWMM Movie Maker project file...
  It would be re-editable if all source files are always
  available.

  If you don't have the. The WMV video file, and you want to
