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

  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.

  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 is not let me download Flip images because I don't have the correct codec?

  I have a Flip video Ultra, model U112OB, and I am trying to download his images on my PC so I can modify it with Windows Movie Maker.  But whenever I try to bring it on movie maker it says: the F:\DCIM\100VIDEO\***+ file. MP4 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.

  I visited a websight to support customer flip and ordered to download online with windows, but I was not able to find what I'm looking for.

  Any Suggestions?

  First... Download the video in a folder on your hard drive.

  There is some info on the following link:

  Movie Maker and Flip digital camcorders
  http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-CamcordersFlip.html

  (FWIW in Windows Live Movie Maker 7...) MP4 files
  should be compatible)

  Then, convert the video to the. WMV format.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Now, the clamps must be compatible with Movie Maker.

  Good luck.

• 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.

• Windows Movie Maker - releasing only audio, is it possible to publish the exact length of the audio and does not include the lot of silent at the end?

  Windows Movie Maker - have 6 minutes of audio spliced, I would like to publish in the form of an audio clip with no video.  I heard that this is possible, and it all works, the 'framework' includes 6 more minutes of space without air circulation that gets compiled with the planned 6 minutes of audio matching 12 minutes of audio rather than the 6 minutes.  Is it possible to MovieMaker 'See' the end of my audio instend, to include 12 minutes in length with it default?  Should I include photos or video for the project to publish only 6 minutes, instead of the 12 minutes?   I hope this makes sense...

  I assume you are using Vista Movie Maker 6 and not Live Movie Maker?

  It is a problem that I've not seen before... the recorded length must be equal
  at times combined clips on the timeline. I guess it's possible
  If you've done a lot of editing/trimming clips... something was corrupted.

  I was wondering... If you import the .wma file saved in Movie Maker and drag
  it to the timeline... it shows the clip as being the length of 12 minutes? If it isn't...
  Perhaps you could he split and right click Delete unwanted 6 minutes and
  then re-save.

  Divide... drag the playback at the end of the music and the type indicator... CTRL + L
  .. .to split the file then right-click of the unwanted part and click on delete.

  Tip: Unlike clips video... audio clips can be dragged to the timeline, so don't forget
  they are dragged all the way to the left to prevent air from dead at the beginning or
  between the clips.

  It may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / compatibility... tab and the left click
  the "All default settings" button before the Save.

  And... If the clips audio source are not the. WMA format... it could be a useful
  try to convert them to WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

  It may be interesting to try to publish (Save project)
  in the WMV in Movie Maker format... and then import
  the video file in DVD Maker WMV.
   
  It may help to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.
  Options / compatibility... tab and uncheck all filters.
  Try to view your DVD project once more...
  If she is still unable to read the entire file... There may be
  one or more source files in the project that are not
  fully compatible with Movie Maker... several times that
  Maybe a MP3 music file or video clip MPG.

  Or the project may be too large and/or complex
  for the resources of your system. Too many transitions
  and the effects can make a complex project. The fix
  because it is creating small projects.

  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

  I'm doing a library of DVDs of my son's football, but every time I try to use Movie Maker of Window I immediately or after I spent hours working get a message saying "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working" then it says windows contact me if they find a solution. No idea how I can prevent this?

  Hi Liska3,

  What operating system is installed on your computer?

  Windows Movie Maker comes pre-installed with Vista, and according to the guidelines of your error message, I would say that you have Vista.
