Overview screen Windows movie maker does not

The preview screen will not play I work on the current project. If I open other projects the screen preview plays very well. Perhaps because the film is long, and has a lot of effects and titles. I worked for weeks on this ad, I do not want to lose all the work that has already been done. Help, please.

Hi acaplan16,

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

Can you get audio with your project that can not play? It shows a green screen instead of the video? It could be the problem with the missing codec.  You try and publish the movie to see that he's going to play?

Let us know if we can help pull you hurt further.

  • 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.

  • Project Windows Movie Maker does not publish

    Windows MovieMaker

    Hi, I have a. MSWMM file that does not work in the school's computers. I did at home and trying to open it up to the school. At home I can't publish it to .wmv. It is said that it can not be argued. Same thing at school, but at school, it is said that when I try to open it. Pleaes Help!

    Hi, I have a. MSWMM file that does not work in the school's computers. I did at home and trying to open it up to the school. At home I can't publish it to .wmv. It is said that it can not be argued. Same thing at school, but at school, it is said that when I try to open it. Pleaes Help!

    =================================================
    Just some general info...

    FWIW... the .mswmm file is just the Movie Maker project file is not
    include the source of files (videos, photos, music, etc...), it records the
    path to the location of origin... so even if you could open it on school
    computer would be useless unless you also had copies of all sources
    files.

    If you cannot publish the project .mswmm to .wmv movie format file
    on the system that created the view may be a problem with the compatibility
    the source files.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with Movie Maker but most
    reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, wmv

    Also... it may be interesting to try to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools / Options /.
    Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

    It is possible that your project is too large and too complex for your system resources.
    It may be interesting to try to create several small projects and publish each of them as
    a file separate .wmv video. Then import the collection of clips .wmv in Windows
    DVD Maker and each one becomes a scene (chapter). Also... you can re-import
    the collection of small files in Movie Maker .wmv and combine them into a single file.

  • Windows Movie Maker does not recognize my new Sony XR155E HD handycam.

    I bought a new XR155E Sony to replace my old Sony handycam. I used to connect Via firewire no problem. My new Cam lacks a firewire connection and has only an HDTV connection and USB connection. I connect the new handycam Sony XR155E HD via USB.

    Movie Maker won, t recognize the camera when I want to import the new camera. is there some way I can connect the Sony XR155E while Movie Maker will allow me to direct import from the camera. SONY software is useless when it comes to editing and cutting of elements. Also, I can CVCTVLY copy DVD Dick in Standard mode and not HD.

    Is ther a cable that will allow me to connect my FireWire to the computer in the small USB connection on the camera? Can I get a cable adopter? Help, please. Is there any good software that will pick up my camera Via USB and allow me to edit the video and sound?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    with Movie Maker and then edit.

    Or the Sony software might be worth a try:

    =========================================
    Movie Maker has been designed to download from mini-DV cameras
    connected with FireWire... (they record at small cassettes... not
    flash drives)

    The best would be to download the video files in a folder on your
    hard drive... convert the WMV movie format and then import
    in Movie Maker.

    If you connect the camera via a cable USB and go to... My computer...
    It should be recognized as a drive. If it's... you can download it from
    there by copy and paste or drag and drop.

    Good luck...

    ====================================
    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...

    Good luck...

  • 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.
