• Editing in Windows Movie Maker problems

  I turned my animation of clay at 5 fps in .mswmm. When I publish the movie on that computer it playsback at 25 fps. This transforms a 3 min. video in a 20-minute video that I can't upload to Youtube because it is too long. Can anyone help? I tried to fix this for almost a week now.

• Edition file Windows Movie Maker as my Windows DVD Maker solution get an error unspecified 1.6% each time?

  I can't publish my holiday video (multiple files linked together by me in Windows Movie Maker with title screens before each clip and music) as Windows DVD Maker claims an unspecified error of 1.6% each time. I changed the output directory, but that did not help. Also, when in Movie Maker / a lot of DVD Maker icon stream through the bar near the clock, some white with small print out and some red with "Ffv", which I can only think fact obstacle to the whole process!

  I was wondering if I could download it my Windows Movie Maker in another free DVD file, making the software and if you have any suggestions?
  Thank you

  Last reply first... No, are the Movie Maker project files
  not compatible with other video editing software.

  You are running Windows or Vista Movie Maker 6
  Live Movie Maker?

  It is possible that your project is too complex for
  your system resources but it is more than likely
  some of your files source (Photos, video Clips,
  Audio clips) are not fully compatible with Windows
  Movie Maker.

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

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  Conversion to formats compatible before importing
  in Movie Maker may be the solution.

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converter is just one example:

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

  Format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster download)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup290.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the final screens)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag > FFSetup290.exe< out="" of="" the="">
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

  That should do it...

  Good luck...

• Problem of publication of Windows Movie Maker.

  Hello!

  When I publish a video in Windows Movie Maker 6.0, he still reverse or change the colors somehow. I use all the effects. I tried to activate and deactivate all filters, one after the other. It does not help. Colors are always changed, opposite, negative, etc. after the publication. Lila, green, etc. Please tell me how I can solve this problem, to be able to publish the video with the original colors.

  Video is not a format... I was talking to... AVI, MPG, WMV, FLV, ect... ect.

  If the videos are not the. WMV format... it may be worth trying to convert them.

  Have you tried to remove color profiles as described in the article: 942632?

• Some video clips to cut or freeze altogether when editing in Windows Movie Maker.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  • I imported a few video clips for Windows Video Maker and when I played against them on the timeline, they played very well, but when I started working on a project and added the clip on the timeline the clip played to halfway through and then the clip is cut off from himself and played the tree in this way the rest of the clip or just froze altogether but the timer continued. At first, I thought, there might be something wrong with the clip so I imported another copy of the clip, but he kept repeating the same problem with all versions of the clip that I imported. It is not the first time, it does, Windows Movie Maker has done this before with other video clips of mine.

  This is usually due to incompatible source files.

  Might be worth trying to convert your videos to
  format .wmv before import into Movie Maker.

  The following freeware can convert:

• Problem importing mpeg in windows movie maker 6

  Hello
  I know that this seems to be a repetitive theme but this is: my windows Movie Maker 6 in my laptop computer won't import mpeg (I use vista)... my WMM on my machine from office at will (I use XP)

  Here's the story; I have a canon vixia HF11 which gives me "m2ts" files that used import into WMM... so I found a cheat... I just change the file ext 'MPEG' and that it is important to the former WMM (XP). These "MPEG" do change well in the WMM so I convert them to wmv for editing as I want.

  When I do the same thing on the laptop (vista) the 'new' mpeg file will not import to the WMM as it does on the XP machine. (However, it will play in windows media player)

  the bottom line: is there a way to make the most recent WMM do the same thing as the old?

  If not, is there a simple free converter that will convert my files "m2ts" to something that will work in the most recent WMM?... I already spent a lot of money on this machine and I just want something simple.

  any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

  Thanks for the help that is going

  Now, I know the problem is the movie maker (version 6) itself. After doing a little more looking around, I discovered that if I install wmm 2.6 (which was made for vista machines that could not handle wmm 6. I did it and everything works fine now. apparently the wmm 6 (vista) does not have certain things the same as the older 2.1 (XP).)

  I'm in place and Rollin' now! Thanks again!

• Convert vob to wmv to edit in Windows Movie Maker

  I am trying to edit a dvd. I know that I have to convert the vob to a wmv file but it keeps shortening the length of the video. I downloaded at least 6 converter programs and none doesn't seem to help. I would like to edit this video in Windows Movie Maker. Help, please!

  It may be interesting to try to rename the. VOB file to
  . MPG or. AVI. If it is important without convert you
  could drag the timeline and immediately
  Publish it... It would create one. WMV file. Then
  Re - import the. WMV file and make your editing.

• Stop editing in windows movie maker

  I made a video, it is long 20 min, but I don't see how this is a problem, anyway since I can't "save under" anything but a movie maker project file, I tried to publish and publish on any folder or some setting I put it, it stops at 43% and then the estimated time it will take increases indeffinitly (got up to 266 times)

  someone help me publish it or find a way to convert it to wmv because this video is awesome and I don't want to lose him or not be able to share with people.

  Hello Lord of the gingers,

  Thanks for posting.  It seems you may have one of two problems.  Either you don't have enough disk space hard for the conversion process and final converted video or your power saving options disable your hard drives.  We will try to check both of those to see if you have enough disk space hard for the conversion process & final video and changing options you energy savings.  I have included a link to guide you on how to change your power settings here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935799 or by following the guidelines below.

  To change an existing plan

  1. Click to open the Power Options.

  2. On the select a power plan page, click on change settings for the plan under the plan that you want to change.

  3. Settings change for the plan page, choose the display settings and the sleep that you want to use when your computer is running on battery and when it is plugged.

  4. If you don't want to change the settings, more, click on save changes.

     -or-

     To change additional power settings, click on change advanced power settings and then perform steps 5 and 6.

  5. On the Advanced Settings tab, expand the category that you want to customize, expand each setting that you want to change and choose the values you want to use when your computer is running on battery and when it is plugged.

  Click OK and then click on save changes.

  Let me know if this helps you

• Sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. "Error: 0 x 87160129" during video editing in Windows Movie Maker/Windows Live Movie Maker

  I use the same device which was used to make movies in the past with no problems. The error message is sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. Error: 0 x 87160129

  I've never had any problems with this before and made more than 100 movies using WLMM or WMM. Thanks for any help. Would that my camera settings? I use a Lumix.

  I just found out what the problem is freakin ' and the solution. If the inserted videos have different "video codec" then it will not work!

  Before adding videos to Movie Maker, throw in a video converter and convert them all. (Even if the original format is WMV, convert again to WMV) that will ensure the output videos have the same codec!
  This solved the problem for me, hope, it does for you too...

• 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.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/video-filters-in-Windows-Movie-Maker-frequently-asked-questions

  (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:

  AFTER SAVE AND VIEW THE EDITED VIDEO, THE VIDEO SHOWS TWO IMAGES. WE TOP THE FILM AND THE LOWER PRESENT A GREEN TINT.
  Why is that every time I have save a file film and after that I edited, the film that I saved is displayed is divided into 2.   It happens every time when I run the edited wmv.
