• Video clips will play only for a second before stopping in Movie Maker

  I am experienced with Movie Maker, but now when I try to set up a series of video clips, the video only play for one second (literally) before coming to rest. I tried several video formats without success. I am currently on updates and have never had this problem before. WMV files are choppy and slow and sometimes stop, too.

  Hi NessaWest,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  I suggest that you disable audio and video filters in Windows movie maker and check if it helps.

  Video and audio filters are programs that are installed on your computer that help interpret video files so that they will display and play correctly. Windows Movie Maker uses when you import a video and audio, extract your project on the table of storyboard / timeline, and when you publish a movie.

  (a) open Windows movie maker

  (b) click on Toolsand then click Options.

  (c) click on the compatibility tab.

  (d) do one of the following:

  ·        To turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.

  ·        To activate a filter, select the check box next to the name of the video filter.

  ·        To restore the default list, click restore all defaults.

  When you restore the default settings, the list and the filters settings are given to the last known good setting.

• Problem with the sync audio to video when you use Windows Movie Maker version 6.0

  I have a HP Slimline Pavillion S.3220.uk PC, using Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I have problems with the audio video synchronization when using Windows Movie Maker, version 6.0, I 'get' raw AVCHD files to .wmv using voltaic HD.  I've noticed that the audio and video are out of sync, ONLY after the first thumbnail.  No indirect problem with videos, but when people talk to the camera, in case of DISASTER, as he is out of sync. I tried to reduce the resolution of 720 p and 540 p, and no solution to the problem. Any thoughts on the matter please?

  Hi Fabian119,

  Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

  There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player (for example, a file compressed with the DivX video codec or the Ogg Vorbis audio codec). Because the player is extensible, in many cases you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee.

  You can visit the following links for more information on codecs:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  You can also view the following link to download the audio file conversion programs and check if you can convert AVCHD to Mpeg.

• How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

  I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

  =======================================
  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
  be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
  DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
  a VOB extension.

  Also... the info is maybe worth a visit:

  DVD Movie Maker 6... in Vista Home Basic
  http://www.Papajohn.org/newsletters/185-DVDtoMM6inVistaHomeBasic.html

  When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is in, and then select Explorer.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
  file to edit)

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.
  The following free Converter may be helpful.

  After installing the program GREAT... open...
  you will see two small circles at the top left
  corner of the screen... check the UPPER circle.

  Now... Drag/Drop your. VOB files in the current field.

  Output container... Choose wmv...

  Video scale size / no change

  Left, click the Encode button.

  Choice: A Simple Profile / OK...

  Wait...

  (FWIW... I have better luck with video if I'm not
  try to multi-task while a file is being converted)

  When the file is converted, you should find it in...
  Program Files / eRightSoft / Super / exit.

  Or... you can type... CTRL + T.. o open the Save
  Window and choose a backup folder.

  Good luck...

  Also... try the following free software:

  ======================================
  Two thoughts...

  (1) you may have a problem with audio / music which is not
  fully compatible with Movie Maker. The best choice of audio.
  music formats would be .wma or .wav.

  (2) the addition of transitions between the photos will reduce the picture
  duration with overlap.

• 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...

• Why will not post any kind of video format Windows Movie Maker?

  I have a video project together over but when I click 'save to computer' and go through it, he starts to publish but stick to 1% or 2%. I tried just to publish a still image (JPEG) that works. I added a voice on the video image, published again very well. Then added an mp3 which is used throughout the project, which publishes perfectly too. Add a video file, however, freezes it. I tried to break the project down into third to check that it is not "too complex" that didn't work and now even in the sixth that don't work as.
  I tried using videos MP4, AVI and WMV, but nothing to do with a video clip will release.

  I am running vista and movie maker 2.6.
  (And ive also tried to put the project on a Win7 computer and who publishes but the same file wont open (all files component also transferred to 2nd pc))

  I am incredibly frustrated with this now so please, any help would be appreciated!

  I was wondering why you are running Movie Maker 2.6?
  Do you have Vista Movie Maker 6 enforcement issues?

  What is the duration of the project? Long and complex projects
  can be problematic. More short projects (as you have already discovered)
  are generally more successful.

  MP3 files can be problematic... conversion. WMA peut
  be worth a try.

  The. WMV video format is the best choice, and you already
  tried that... but the question is how to convert you?

  Also... it may be useful if you open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.
  Or... to... Tools / Options / tab compatibility and left click
  button to restore all default settings.

• Windows Movie Maker - How to move video files already in a project

  OK so I have a number of video files that have been 'imported' in Windows Movie Maker from my USB drive. Now, I did my project already and am almost complete with my film. However, is there anyway I can move the videos on my computer so I don't have my USB connected whenever I'm working on the project?

  In other words, is there a way to move a clip from one folder to another and did not Windows Movie Maker lose track of it?

  Here:

  http://www.windowsmoviemakers.NET/tutorials/HowToSaveProjects.aspx

  recommend the folder beforehand. But now, of course, it is too late.

  So come on Microsoft, I'm sure that you have no more to watch this...

  You can open the file .wlmp with a text editor. Here, you can clearly see the full paths to the videos of the project entry.

  Copy all of the video files to where you want, and then manually change the paths in the .wlmp file to match their new locations.

  I can't say I've tested this, but it worked on a few projects without problem.

  WLMM should have a possibility to do it within the program.

• Sync audio/video Windows Movie Maker problem

  When you use Windows Movie Maker 5.1 to capture video from my Panasonic PV-GS39 DV camera, audio is 15 seconds ahead of the video.  Anyone know what is the cause or how to fix it?  No other programs are running at the time of the capture.

  Windows Movie Maker 5.1
  Windows XP Service Pack 3

  It is difficult to say why Windows Movie Maker would be to have this problem, but my recommendation would be to eliminate it from the video capture process. There is an excellent free program called WinDV you can use to capture video on your computer, then you can change using Windows Movie Maker, once the capture is complete. Video capture questions can be exasperating. Along with other instructions of troubleshooting, I explain why you might want to use WinDV in a tutorial on video troubleshooting.

• How to disable some video clips

  I have several short video clips I shot with my camera GoPro assembled on a timeline. I would like to cut some video clips but not them all. How can I cut just some video clips?

  Thanks for the help

  Rchjr

  the alt (option on mac) key is a shortcut to temporarily circumvent the binder. so that you can select just the audio, not the video portion of the clip. you need not CTRL for this. You can also simply switch off binding using the menu button to do this, and then re-enable it later.

  

  to move to another audio track, you can select only the audio (using alt or toggle menu option) and make them drag to an unused track, as track 3 or something. then click on the 'm' to cut this track. There are tutorials without end and howto on youtube for the creation or one of adobe software. so feel free to look through advice as well.

• Problems with Windows Movie Maker: video/Audio, cut and cutting

  I recently did some videos, but there was this thing really annoying happening in the middle of the video. Okay, let's say I put together all the clips in Windows Movie Maker for my taste, and it's how I wanted it to be. I saw it and then suddenly in the middle of the video the sound shuts down or freezes the clip or it will just empty. I have not been able to solve and so I can't do more videos without him just hide or cut.

  Please help, I need to make a video for a deadline but nothing I try suddenly freezes or cuts in a specific clip. How is what is happening and what can I do to stop it. I've accidentally done something or it just freezes.

  Thanks, I need all the help I can get!

  I use Windows Vista. And this has only been produced recently, that my previous videos have been very well.

  Well well... once again, without success. The same thing happens, it freezes in the middle of the clip. I get the FLV file by orbit actually, but I don't know who is a hoarder of corrupted file. What should I do?

• Windows movie maker problem: video cut or turns off

  I have windows vista on my computer and I tried to use the windows movie maker program to make a music video.  the video I got was originally in MP4 format so I used Format Factory to convert WMV (I also did AVI).  for some reason when I'm working on the video images goes off and I can't see the stage.  Sometimes I get the picture but most of the time I don't have.  I also tried to use AVI format but the problem is always the same.

  I read and I think it would be that the resolution could be the problem, if so, how can I change that on Format Factory?
  It could also be that Format Factory is perhaps not good enough, are there other free conversion programs I could use?
  other than that, I don't know why the image freezes (music plays again)
  any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!
