• Windows Movie Maker, not be able to open or import .mswmm files

  MovieMaker for Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

  I did a movie with effects and audio and save the file. However, when I go to open the file, I can not and I have a msg which States:

  The file C:\Users\Yolanda\Videos\Yolanda's BDay 34th slide show. MSWMM cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.

  In computer science, I'm not notified. I need advice so that I can open and see all the hard work that was put into this project.

  Thank you.

• In windows movie maker, failed to get the narration and music to play at the same time

  Hello
  I have followed the instructions to the T, but cannot get the narration and music to play at the same time.

  Hi Anataia,

  You are unable to play the music and narration at the same time, you can adjust the audio levels to determine which audio will play louder than the other in your movie.

  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:

  1. Click on Tools, then the Audio levels.
  2. 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.
     • To increase the level of audio that is located on the audio / music, drag the slider to Audio / Music.
  3. Click close.

  Just some thoughts...

  This happens usually when the source files are
  not totally compatible and also may be linked
  transitions.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all
  the filters.

  Also you can try to convert your source files
  to different formats.

  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

  And you can try to remove the transitions.

• Windows Movie Maker won't let me publish my videos!

  When I 'publish on this computer' dialog box is and does is display "Estimating Time."... "no matter how long I leave it. does not, never the numbers on time. It does not have a file instead I specified, but it goes to a few bites and then stops. I have no idea why he would do that.

  Check the file formats that you had inserted in movie maker. You might have used files that are not supported by the Director.
  Photo: jpg, png, bmp
  For video: WMV, AVI
  Music: mp3, wav, wma

  Note: If you use google for formats of files supported by Windows Movie Maker, you will find that the list is much longer than what I've listed. This is because I find those on my list are the most reliable and you don't have to worry about not having the right codec for files.
