• Movie Maker: Only necessary updated to include Source file Clip Footage.

  Hello - I have created a movie using parts of various DVD and wide.  I am to convert each DVD in some parts of an .avi file, then the image preview to see what are the parts that I want in my film.  Say, for example, I have import a 80 MB, 10 minutes .avi file into movie maker.   I then split into clips manually using only a few pieces I want.  So on this file, only 1 minute is actually used in the film.  I remove all the remaining elements of movie maker letting those that I need, but these clips are always referencing the original 80 MB file.  So, I need to keep the file 80 MB on my hard drive just to use 8 MB of it in the film. This is forcing me to keep files on my computer when I only need part of it and could make my move over much bigger it must be.

  Is it possible to export the individual after their separation clips so that the source files I need to keep is only the part of the clip I need?

  When I save my project as a movie, he's going to bring to this large file 80 MB for the final version, or only the part of the file I need is?

  -Thank you

  I did a 5 minute film in Movie Maker with titles and Audio.  Movie playback in the timeline or storyboard table - all right.  When I publish it, it plays for 2.5 minutes, and then I lose the video for the rest of the film.  It turns black.  The issuance and audio playback added to the end.

  Assuming that you are talking about Windows Movie Maker, not a 3rd party Director.

  Take a look at your video file of 5 min.
  What is the file format? The last 3 letters represent the file format.

  Windows Movie maker will support only a small handful of video file formats:
  Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

  If you movie file format is not on the list above, you will need to google for a free video converter. No need to buy a. Free will do the job.
  Use the converter and change the format of your movie file.
  The best and most reliable way to convert is WMV format.

• Windows 7 backup is much bigger than my source files.

  I have a new Dell Precision M6500 running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Hard drive is 500 GB and I configured the backup and restore feature to backup to a hard disk of 500 GB eSata extrnal.

  I'm just back up my data to 'library' files which explain probably about 150 GB. However, very quickly the external 500 GB drive is full

  "After the backup is apparently running for a few hours I get the message:

  "Check backup of disk space - that your backups are being saved on the disk is not enough free space".

  I click on options, manage disk space for backup, it is said I can free disk space by removing backups of data files, but there is a "period of backup" listed

  Under the Backup Configuration, I checked that only a set of 150 GB of data files are checked to save and "include an image of disk system" is not checked

  Hi casidougal,

  I suggest you check the settings below.

  To view and manage your backup disk space

  (a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.

  (b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) now under data backup file, click view backups.

  Now, you would see the list of backup the value entered for each full backup, it should argued to the top entries.

  You should also see the set of data that has been saved, do you think that any new data that has been defined by the options?

  You can also view the contents of the Windows backup logs. They can be found at this place C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup.

• How can I make a slide show in windows movie maker without being reduced image quality?

  I have recently created a slideshow with audio (songs) in windows movie maker, as I do not have powerpoint. When I read the production, the quality is perfect on the screen a small excerpt, but as soon as I open it full screen pictures are of very poor quality.

  Is it also the possibility to create this slideshow on a DVD format to burn to a disc and play in a DVD player (in the windows movie maker program and without having to create the DVD in another program).

• How to save a project created in Windows movie maker on a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?

  If I understand well a previous answer, reinporting a project as mswmm allows rediting if the files are still on the computer.  Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the pane movie maker collections.  Am I wrong?

  ===========================================
  When you save the project file... go to... File / save project as...
  Give the file a name (Summer Vacation.mswmm) and choose
  your save location.

  All the files (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) source should
  appear on the USB key and if you have the intention of re - edit the
  project on another computer... it should have the same
  version of Movie Maker. Sometimes a later version of the film
  Machine to will open the files but sometimes won't.

  ===========================================
  This is correct. MSWMM is a Movie Maker project file which is
  is useful for a re-release in Movie Maker. And... the source files
  (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) should be available in the
  original locations...

  ===========================================
  When a. MSWMM file project opens the thumbnails...
  remain available in the Collections of Movie Maker component as
  as long as the Source, the files are available in the places that they
  were imported initially from.

  If the source files have been moved, renamed, deleted or are
  unavailable, the thumbnails in the component Collections
  Movie Maker displays red Xs and the project cannot be
  edited.

  If the source files are still available... it is possible that you may
  Right-click the red Xs and navigate to the current location of the
  the source files and restore the path.
