=====================================
Wow! This is a huge project... If you have not had errors and
crashes, there must be some kind of miracle.

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
Creator and divide.

  • Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.

    Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.

    I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.

    I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.

    Thank you

    With movie maker, is it possible to insert an image in a music video without the audio from the video clip stop. Basically I have a video of people talking. I want to keep the audion running and superimpose a picure in the video.

    ===================================================
    For the timeline, drag a second copy of the video on the audio / music and
    send her to the left or right to align on the Audio track. Then right-click / mute the Audio track.

    Now, you can split the video anywhere you want... CTRL + L... and delete a section...
    Then, insert a Photo and give it the same duration as the segment that you deleted.

    Here's another method:

    Split your video clip on each side of the area where will be the stills. Now... drag
    the part cut on the audio / music. BTW... If you want to add a second 5 again...
    Remove 5 seconds of the video clip. (info below on the separation if you need)

    Drag your pictures still to the time line and drop them to the location where you
    deleted the video.

    The Audio clip on the audio / music can be dragged to the right or left to adjust it to
    position.

    More information about the Division...

    "Split a Clip in MM2.1.

    Drag the audio clip on the timeline.

    Play the video/audio by clicking on the 'Play' button under the display screen.

    You will see the playback indicator (vertical line) to move forward on the scenario.

    Click on the "Pause" button at the location where you want to cut and type...
    CTRL + L or click the "Split" button at the bottom of the display screen.
    (you can also make adjustments by dragging the playback indicator)

    Make splits as much as you want and remove unwanted in law clips
    Click on / delete.

    I created a video clip in Windows Movie Maker, but I need to hide some of the numbers displayed in the clip.  For example, to place a black box on a small part of the clip to hide certain details.  How can I do this?

    If the video has been created from photos yet...
    It would be easier to edit the photos before
    import.
