"Random selection" for "Transitions" in Windows Movie Maker?

For all that I can tell, Windows Movie Maker doesn't have a 'Random' selection for transitions.  It is this true or am I missing where the selection within the program?

Hello ugotano,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

If you are looking for the option on how to change or add the transition in Movie Maker, here are the steps:

1. on the table of the storyboard / timeline, click the second of the two video clips, titles or images that you want to add a transition between.
2. click on tools, then on Transitions.
3. in the content pane, click the transition that you want to add. You can click Play under the monitor to see a preview of what looks like the transition.
4. click on the Clip and then click Add to timeline or add to the storyboard table.

Here is an article you can do references who will give you information on the transitions:

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

By default, Windows Movie Maker does not include transitions random, pans and zooms.  Adding Pan/zooms and transitions must be picture.
You can apply the same transition to all the clamps at the same time:
1. click on the 1st box of transition on the storyboard table (small box between the clips)
2. do one of the following:
3 Ctrl + A to select
4 shift-click on the last transition box to select everything in between
5 Ctrl-click the transitional areas to add them to the selection one by one.
6. right click on the desired Transition and select "apply to the Storyboard object.

I hope this information helps.

Thank you

  • What kind of cd/dvd is the best for my video Windows Movie Maker filled and how can I burn it?

    OK... I've published my Movie Maker presentation.  It will be presented via a laptop computer and projected.  First of all, what kind of cd/dvd I need?  I know that this information is listed under the HELP section of the Movie Maker program, but what do you propose to help?  AND THEN... How can I do to burn video on cd?  I got to the question re: given dvd vs dvd-video and was confused (sorry... it doesn't take much!).  In my mind, it's a video, but the explanation stated that in this format must then be read via a dvd player.  Finally it can be read that way and it would be nice to have this option, but my goal is now to have played through a computer laptop and projected.  I tried to save it as a video dvd last night, but after almost two hours of "transformation" (my video completed is approximately 3-1/2 minutes), I eventually escape and stop.  Can you guide me through this in simple terms?  Thank you!

    Hello

    I have Vista Home Basic and whenever I publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker, even if I don't cut and regardless of the length of the film, if its 3 minutes and 3 seconds, the end result is that the video is compressed vertically and the lower half of it is a green screen Uni. Half top shows the entire video, but she is crushed to half its normal height. Even the icon on my desktop shows the Green band at the bottom half. Before that, all right. I can change everything normally, but when he did publish, the final product is messed up. I don't get an error message. The files I'm trying to edit/publish are. AVI. I don't have any other file types to test and see if it's only this type of file, originally a problem.

  • WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER MUSIC PROBLEM

    USING WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER, WHEN I TRY TO IMPORT THE MUSIC, I GET THE MESSAGE THAT IT COULD NOT BE IMPORTED.  HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker

    You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

    • Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr - ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    • Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

    • File Picture: .bmp, DIBs, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .wmf

    If you want to import a file into Windows Movie Maker that has a different from those indicated above, extension in the file type list, select all files. Windows Movie Maker can import most file types, but not all types of files do not work when you try to use them to make a movie.

    For your information, Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is just a "water-down" version designed for computers cannot run the built-in Windows Movie maker 6.0

    Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
    2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
    Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
    Overview

    Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

    To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

    1. on the start menu, click all programs.
    2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

    If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

    If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

    .............................................................................................................................................

    Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

    How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

    PROBLEM: I 1265 pictures I put in a slideshow, with transitions between each, and music. MUSIC: CHECK. PHOTO: CHECK. TRANSITIONS: ONE AT A TIME! WTF! Sorry about the language, but he me flusters when a mac I got in 2006 surpasses my two day old PC. On mac, I press a button and random transitions appear on ALL my photos.

    Hello roadrunnersk,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that!  I added a few steps, I hope, will help with the addition of transitions.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    1.

    On the table of the storyboard / timeline, click the second of the two video clips, titles or images that you want to add a transition between.

    2.

    Click on Tools, and then click Transitions.

    3.

    In the content pane, click the transition that you want to add. You can click read under the screen to see a preview of what looks like the transition.

    4.

    Click the Clip, and then click Add to the timeline or Add to the storyboard table.

    Notes

    ·         You can also add a transition by dragging in the timeline and dropping it between two clips on the video track. Or, if you are in the view storyboard, drag the transition to the cell to transition between two video clips or pictures.

    ·         If you updated your Windows XP computer to Windows Vista, any other transitions and effects that you had previously downloaded and installed will not be available in the current version of Windows Movie Maker.

  • Windows Movie Maker... Music skips during transitions and effects. AND create titles outside the Movie Maker program

    I'm working on a presentation in Windows Movie Maker.  Why the music seems to jump whenever I have a 'transition' / 'effect' between clips (for example a fade in).  When I remove the transitions, the sounds of the music very well.  I want the transitions to be included because it adds a little more interest to the presentation.  Also, is there a way to create the title and subtitles in Word and import them into the presentation?  Allowing more flexibility and options with design (integration of treatment of logos/fonts/etc.).
    Thank you!
