No Home tab in movie maker
For the first time trying to use Movie Maker
Try to insert captions in photos
Found that I need to go to the "Home" tab - etc.
But there is no 'Home' tab in the toolbar
Any solution for this?
Thank you
There are several versions of Movie Maker
and they have different options. Windows
Live Movie Maker does not work on Windows XP.
In your Win XP Movie Maker 2.1... If you select
(highlight) a photo on the timeline and go to...
Tools / titles and credits / title on the selected clip...
You should be able to add text to a picture of you
choose.
Also... If you scroll down a little and find... More Options /.
Change the animation of the title... you will have better results.
Personally, I like "perspectives of scrolling" option... it
creates a Star Wars style crawl and you add
more text.
If you have problems to get the titles and credits
options to work... it may be worth trying to go to... Tools /.
Options / tab compatibility and left click on the ' restore
Button all the flaws.
There is much info on Movie Maker on the following links:
Movie Makers Forums

Also... I like to prepare in advance by adding pictures
text with Picasa. If you try it, do not forget to save the
photos with text under a new name so your originals
do not have text on them.
(FWIW... it is always a good idea to create
a system before you install restore point
software or updates)
Picasa
http://Picasa.Google.com/
After you download and install Picasa...
Open the program and double left click
an image to open the editing functions.
To add text to the front of the photo...
choose... Simple retouching / text button...
"Retouching" features: crop, add text, editing

Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?
I'm in a bit of a dead end. I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.
In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images. My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.
Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker? My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.
I'm ready to buy a new camera. I just need something compatible. Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.
Can anyone help?
If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it
Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p
The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.
But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)
You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker
I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

He's saying that he cannot save the movie to the specified location. Ensure that the use of original source of your movie files are always available (which they are!) that the backup location is always available - what it means?
Pls help
Thank you inadvance
The most common reason, you see this is because Movie Maker is unable to manage one of your source files. Movie Maker prefers to video .wmv and .wma for audio, so if you use other types of files in WMM 2.1, you should try to convert them to these types of files first. Freemake has a couple of converters (Freemake Video Converter and Audio Converter from Freemake) that can do this quite easily. Or you can look around.
Another reason, you could see it is if your project has a lot of pictures. The version of XP Movie Maker (WMM 2.1) was not too well manage memory and could not refuse to save your movie once it takes about 100 photos. If this is the case, try to divide your project into two (or more) separate projects and recording each part as a separate sequence. If it works, at the end you can put them back together by creating a final project and adding partial movies created previously.

Please give me a solution. I would be grateful for any ideas.Hello, thekissfan

Rename the extension .mpg video and see if you are able to view them.
If this is not the case, check with JVC for instructions on how to edit video files.

How can I activate the Music Tools tab in Win Movie Maker?
I see that video tools. Help! :(
Whenever I'm editing a video no sound will pop up. :(Green Hello Panda,
The best place to ask your question of Windows Movie Maker is inside Windows Live help forums. The experts he specialize in all things, Windows Live and I would be happy to help you with your questions:

I had Windows Live Essentials Movie Maker installed on my system at some point, but then I continued to see live pop up in the Task Manager and no matter how many times I killed him, he always came back even though I was not using the program, so I uninstalled Windows Essentials 2012 to stop this, and it kept popping up , so I went into the system and manually delete anything with Windows Live in the name of via Explorer and then a bit in the registry. He solved the problem, however, now I would once again use Movie Maker, and then I'm gone on the download site to download Movie Maker, thinking this would reinstall it and I'd be set (other than to have to look at consume resources when closed). I tried to get just Movie Maker, but the windows site told me that I had already installed (I can't find something that he mentions just anywhere), so I found another download Movie Maker, an earlier version, which has installed, but did not have the features that I need, so I uninstalled it, so I thought I would setup the whole Windows/Windows Live Essentials 2012 thinking that can replace bad Windows files detected as a facility, but he did not, he just installed anything ELSE in the software suite and I still haven't Movie Maker. He gave me this error (error: 0 x 80280007) when I tried to redo the installation:
Very well, dandy, I'm happy to do, except that I can't FIND it to uninstall, and it is not in programs and features (uninstall or change a program list). Thus, two options. can someone tell me how to
1. Movie Maker WORK, tell me where it is and how to start (there is not in Program Files at all).
2 tell me how to remove completely ANY TRACE of all Windows Live Essentials 2012 so I can do a fresh install of it that works.
I went to the support conversation Windows and asked how to remove traces of Movie maker, and the tech told me to do:
del \"%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\wmm.dll\".
del \"%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\moviemk.exe\".
del \"%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\. \ »
rmdir /s \"%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\.But the thing is, none of those that exist to remove, and so I don't think he really UNDERSTOOD what is my problem (more, it hung up). I didn't run them, it seemed useless.
Alternative: Point Me in the direction of another free software that works as a Movie Maker program. I don't like that makes the software, I just need to put a bunch of short video clips together in a longer video.
In case anyone cares, it's corrected now. I had to do a repair installation to fix but. Finally, here's what worked:

HP Pavilion a6110n PC stops when you publish movies with Windows Movie Maker
I use Windows Movie Maker to try to "Publish movie" for playback on a computer (creation '. ") WMV files") [200 MB of files created for 15-minute video]. When I run the app, even by itself, with no other applications running, the PC fan starts strong. If the computer has served for a period of time, the computer will be completely and suddenly close, before ending the video creation.
If I run Movie Maker when you first start up the computer, the machine can finish successfully creating the film without stopping.
I don't know what I need to upgrade or replace. The CPU is overheating? Or the video card? Or both?
If I need to replace the fan, any suggestion would be appreciated. (I'm talking a CPU fan? Graphics card fan? or what?)

Hi, Yes this video rendering really puts a load on your cpu! The first thing that comes to mind, and the easiest to fix, is simply clean up the inevitable dust bunnies that accumulate inside the tower. Have you already checked for that? If this is not the case, remove the side panel of the tower and clean all the dust, especially around the heatsink from the processor. Compressed canned air works very well for this. Here is your product guide that shows how to remove the side panel: a6110n be sure to unplug the power cord from your machine before you start on it! And let us know what you found.
In addition, I think that you may know this already because you have taken the trouble to include in your listing, but your hard drive is too full. Vista is a resource hog, memory and available disk space. He needs a lot of space to work. And if it doesn't have enough room, it makes your memory and cpu have to work hard. You ran a disk clean up lately?
Start button-> computer-> right click on drive C: Local-> properties-> click "Disk Cleanup". A pop-up window appears. I put a control over everything on the list. Then click on the 'More Options' tab at the top of this window, look under "system restore and shadow copies ' and click on 'Clean up '. Which may take several minutes if you have not done before. When it's finished, go back to the top of this window, click on 'Disk cleanup' and click the 'OK' button at the bottom of the window to remove all the files that you checked. You must THEN run a defragmentation.
In my opinion, and depending on how much space you freed up with cleaning the disc, you will need to spend at least 50 GB of your data files on this hard drive and maintain. And then you need to add an additional hard drive to your system. Many options for this just depends on your exact needs.
in any case, it's my ideas. If cleaning the dust bunnies and the hard drive does not resolve the problem then perhaps someone else on the forum will be able to helpl with more technical type suggestions. I think they're going to need additional information about your system, however. For example, I noticed that you added 2 GB of RAM. And you mentioned something about a graphics card fan, but your machine came with integrated graphics. Also added a video card? If so, exactly what video card do you have installed and have you also changed the power supply? Any other changes to your machine to factory specifications?

How to use Windows Movie Maker
I got my file AVI and MP3 file combined in the timeline and I can play the video in the Timeline and play it with the sound of the MP3.
But, I can't understand how to configure the AVI/MP3 file so I can upload it to my web site.
I have Win XP Home SP3, Movie Maker version 5.1
Thank you
Bob Burnsoriginal title: Windows Movie Maker
Judging by your question, you should be able to just go to save on PC and upload to your site. Director of Windows compiles the avi + mp3 for you as you mentioned earlier, after you have saved on your pc in the edit tab make sure that your blog supports the file type. If this isn't the case, simply type in the free video converter in the search engine.
