Windows Movie Maker - my photos are blurred?

• Legends and Windows Movie Maker-imported photo are extremely blurred

  created a movie using MMM.  Each photo has a caption under it (already imported like that as a .jpg file).  Both the photo and caption are extremely blurry.  I'm devastated.

  When I open the files of photos to make a slide show, it is very bright, perfectly crisp and clear.  I created the film and recorded on my computer as DV - AVI so I could make the DVD.  Help!

  I think that the info-hughes skier was looking for is
  What are the dimensions in pixels of the pictures
  until you import them into Movie Maker.

  The project includes video clips or
  is it just still shots?

  If your saved video files are not the resolution you
  require... you may need to use a custom profile:

  Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
  useful when recording movies.

• Windows Movie Maker-uploaded photo files are blurry

  I do a short presentation on my community service I've done. It is a minute and a half, but ALL my slides come out blurry.  I don't know if I should just make them all about powerpoint, but I'm not sure if I can keep the music out there. Any advice?

  MY HUMBLE OPINION... Photo Story 3 is a better application for video
  Slide shows if you use only still shots and the music.

  Now... to answer your question...

  The display resolution is reduced when we look at

• The videos are blurred when recording a DVD or a hard drive, but in Windows Movie Maker

  I converted videos from my Flip HD MP4 to MP3 Mini to allow me to use them in Windows Movie Maker.  When I play my movie in WMM, everything is great!  When I burn on a DVD or save it in another way outside WMM images and music are perfect, but the videos are grainy and blurred to the point where you don't see any!  When I converted them, I used an AVI format as it was the only one who has produced clear videos for download.

• I can't uninstall/reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker and photo gallery!

  Well, I need recently the Movie Maker for editing stuff. I looked at theStart > all programs list but is not there. Yet once I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials, but it says I already have Windows Movie Maker on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer (or maybe it's there, I just don't know how to find it). I also tried opening appwiz.cpl and checked Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery, but the entries are not there. So I can't proceed with the following steps in Microsoft Help Tutorials.

  If anyone can help me uninstall/reinstall the Movie Maker? Step by step, perhaps?

  Thank you!

• How to import mpeg files in Windows Movie Maker

  I run Windows XP service Pack 3 and will not import the videos I watch on Windows Media Player in Windows Movie Maker.  They are mpeg files, and I got a message stating:

  Everything simply because a video playing in Windows Media Player is

  MPEG files are very problematic in Movie Maker... and

• Windows Movie Maker - why are my blurry pictures?

  I'm doing a movie in Windows Movie Maker and all the photos that I bring, which are perfectly clear, eventually blur in the film.  Is anyone know why and what can I do?

  Hello jscharmann,

  Thanks for choosing Microsoft answers Forum!

  I would check my transitions and effects because one of the consequences is that you can image blur.

• Windows Movie Maker 6.0 error during recording: check if the original sources are still available, the saving location is available and if there is enough disk space

  Original title: Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Save Bug?

  Something's weird with Windows Movie Maker...

  It cannot record movies, I create somehow.

  Immediamente when it starts to save, it gives an error signal: check if the original sources are always available (and yet, they all), there is no such thing as the save location (of course it is!) and if there is enough disk space (a lot of). Still, it will not save. How can this be possible?

  I use an mp3 file (pendulum - watercolor) and have a lot of footage, often used with effects. They are 1280 x 1024 and a .avi file. Everything should work fine, but still does not work. Help me!

• Windows Movie Maker-legends are incomplete when published in the final movie

  My captions are incomplete when published in the final movie... :(

  Hello everyone.

  I use Windows Movie Maker to create a photo slideshow set to music. In addition, each photo has a caption.

  Here's my problem:

  Some photo captions are messy when I publish the movie. For example, "TCS 1999" shows as "SDC 199" in the published version, even if "SDC 2000" remains the same in the published version. " Not every picture is affected, but it is irritating.

  I would appreciate anyone's insight into this matter.

  Thank you! :)
