Window Movie Maker change my video clips to an audio file... Why?

When I imported a WMM video clip which is a. AVI file and it fell on the timeline and read, I could hear no problem but the screen was black. I noticed that when I dropped it, it loaded to the audio track. So I checked the properties, and he said it was an audio file... why? How to recognize them as videos?

I use WMM 6 on Vista Home premium 64-bit if that helps
Thank you
Carolyn

Which indicates that the file is not completely compatible with
Movie Maker.

The best would be to convert it to the. WMV format
before you import into Movie Maker.

  • Windows Movie Maker is important video imcompletely (only five seconds to hour long video)

    I tried to import this hour long video in windows movie maker, and the result is that only five seconds of the video is imported. I tried over and over again, but still five seconds of the video is imported. I have searched the Internet for answers, but impossible to find a single solution to all but one of this forum that leads to a page for the Director in windows vista, which certainly does not help. Any help on this situation would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, I am running Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Home 32-bit Edition.

    The extension is (.mpg). I've just updated to Service Pack 3, but the problem is still persistent... Right, the Windows Movie Maker version is 5.1, if it helps.

    =====================================
    The problem is the file format. If you convert the MPG file
    in WMV format, you can have better results.

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

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, wmv

    This problem could be related to the source of the files that

    This could indicate that the project is too large and
    complex.

    Might be worth trying to convert your source

  • The music will not play on my Windows Movie Maker 2.6 video?

    I've converted .mp3 to .wav files so that they are compatible with Movie Maker 2.6, but they don't always work. I even tried to convert .wma but still nothing. Work files, they play fine on Windows Media Player but when I add them to the video there is no sound. Help, please!
     
    The video is a video, hypercam if that helps. Which is a .avi format. Does it matter?

    Hello JackySC,

    1. What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    MP3 and Avi files are compatible with Movie Maker 2.6 and should work. However, if you are not able to read files with this, I suggest you install Windows Live Movie Maker and check if you have the same problem.

  • Windows Movie Maker will post video

    Hi, I made a video Minecraft with CamStudio. It is in AVI. I put it int WMM and it is now a project folder. I publish, so it is possible to download on YouTube.

  • Video clip with file extension 3gpp converted to wmv but no audio in Windows Movie Maker

    I have a video clip taken from a cell phone with file extension 3gpp.  I converted it to a wmv file using software downloaded using an XP operating system.

    Thank you for your interest and your answer to my question.  I was actually able to do something with it that I managed to import a file to convert 3gpp in Windows Movie Maker.  Here's what I did as others who may have the same problem currently or in the future, try:

    Initially, I converted a file video in a .wmv file 3gpp and tried to import the Windows Movie Maker.  The video is imported, but is not the audio.  I converted the same file video 3gpp in one file .avi and it imported into the Windows Movie Maker project that I did and it worked! The .avi video and audio imported and played without any problems.  Thanks again for your response.

    Wow! This is a huge project... If you have not had errors and

    Just a thought... I wonder if a DVD Double layer would
    work with the file as it is?

    In any case... you have saved the project in WMV or AVI
    film format in a folder on your hard drive?

    To get a separation of the file... you could re-import-the movie
