Removal of audio background in Windows Movie Maker__

I am trying to remove the background noise in Movie Maker - I use Vista.  Threads say to highlight the clip, click "clip" at the top, down to audio and there will be a mute, discoloration, the volume option - this area is grey outside and non-functional, so it does not work - what should I do, I checked to see if it's the latest version (SP2), no update does seem to be necessary... but I can't use it!  And can't seem to find an answer here, then perhaps that person has had this problem?

Hello Shelly,

I want to clarify if you try to delete the audio clips or try to remove static\noise in windows movie maker.

If you try to remove\adjust audio of the clip, please follow the steps mentioned in the link below

If the noise is part of the file, he was there when you recorded the video, then there isn't anything you can do to remove it.  That would take the studio type unit to filter only specific frequencies and types of control sounds very high-end.

    I understand how to adjust the volume of my audio track, but when I save the file, in the sound adjustments are not saved.  Is there an extra step in the audio recording?

    Hi Gmamma,

    Try the two methods mentioned below if you don't him have not yet tried and check if it works.

    Method 1

    The audio settings by default in Windows Movie Maker is for the audio portion of imported video and any narration or music that you add to play at an equal level, but you can change that setting if it does not give you the balance that you want. To adjust the audio levels, follow these steps:

    (a) click Tools, and then click Audio levels.

    (b) do one of the following:

    to increase the level of audio on the Audio track that is part of a video clip, drag the slider toward Audio from video.

    II. to increase the level of audio that is located on the audio / music, drag the slider to Audio / Music.

    (c) click on close.

    Method 2

    Adjust the volume of each audio clip individually, as follows:

    1. on the track Audio or Audio / Music of the timeline, select the audio clip that you want to adjust the volume.

    2. click on Clip, point to Audio, and then click Volume.

    3. to adjust the volume, do one of the following:

    ·        To reduce the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the left.

    ·        To increase the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the right.

    The file Morrison\Moondance\05 in the Mystic.m4a of C:\Users\kathy\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Van cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer.

    All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    Hello

    1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

    2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

    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 use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Windows Movie Maker (version 2.1) does not open my .mswmm project.

    The WMM gives the error message "stopping" whenever I try to open this project.  I have Windows XP.  My project was started about 18 months ago, and I believe that WMM has been automatically updated since then.  I thought that an older project could be opened in a new version of WMM, although a more recent project could not be opened in a previous version.  I'd really like to reopen this project in order to complete and save, because I spent a lot of time to compile.  Would appreciate any help that can be given.  Thank you

    Hi ElisabethLee,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. are you able to create and save a new project using Windows movie maker files?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP uses video and audio filters when you import, preview and record movies.

    I suggest that you turn off the video and audio filters in Windows movie maker and check if it works.

    To change the video filter settings

    (a) click on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the compatibility tab.

    (b) in the list of video filters, you can enable or disable a filter by selecting or clearing the check box.

    Change the video filter settings

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/MovieMaker/change-video-filter-settings

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • 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.
