Windows Movie Maker - savings-older version

HI - my daughter received a project to make a band trailer of the movie using Windows Movie Maker.  We have 6 Version, no problem.  But the school has V2.1.4026.0 with a Spk2 V5.1.

The teacher said that we have to save the project, so it can be read by an earlier version of the software.  I went to the save option under and the "Save as type" gives only the option "Save as Windows Movie maker Project.  I'm sure it's a simple solution, but since this is our first experience with this package I need help.

So, how to save a Version6 project file so it can be read by older Versions of Windows Movie Maker?
Anyone?

Hi Harleysfran,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

Project files more Movie Maker version are not compatible with the lower version of Movie Maker. However, you can publish the project to .avi or .wmv format so that you can play these video files on any computer.

But you cannot change the published video file.

  • Windows movie maker 2.6 features lack pan

    I'm running on Windows 7. I don't like Windows Live Movie maker, simply because I think that you can not control the pictures/videos to the effects of every second of the music of the time. So I downloaded a previous version of Windows Movie Maker... version 2.6. I've made movies in the passed using an older version of Movie Maker, except that I have more computers running XP, so I do not know the exact version, I use all these years - but I think it's very similar to the 2.6 version, I downloaded.

    However, here's the question I'm not find all of the features in this version of Movie Maker 2.6, I remember help in my other films. Where are the characteristics of "Pan"? Y at - there another version that has these features? Why 2.6 don't have?
    I want to make a video for my wedding coming soon! I just want to be sure I'm not missing out on other effects. "Pan" is important to me, especially when it is combined with other effects.
    I'll be very grateful for any help on this.

  • Windows Movie Maker (version 2.1) does not open my .mswmm project.

    The WMM gives the error message "stopping" whenever I try to open this project.  I have Windows XP.  My project was started about 18 months ago, and I believe that WMM has been automatically updated since then.  I thought that an older project could be opened in a new version of WMM, although a more recent project could not be opened in a previous version.  I'd really like to reopen this project in order to complete and save, because I spent a lot of time to compile.  Would appreciate any help that can be given.  Thank you

    Hi ElisabethLee,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. are you able to create and save a new project using Windows movie maker files?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP uses video and audio filters when you import, preview and record movies.

    I suggest that you turn off the video and audio filters in Windows movie maker and check if it works.

    To change the video filter settings

    (a) click on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the compatibility tab.

    (b) in the list of video filters, you can enable or disable a filter by selecting or clearing the check box.

    Change the video filter settings

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/MovieMaker/change-video-filter-settings

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    ==========================================
    FWIW... Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is not an update... it's a disassembled
    version for systems that will not run Vista Movie Maker 6.

    The new version... would be Windows Live Movie Maker. It is quite
    different from version 6. If you decide to try it... plan on creating
    a new project because your version 6 files probably will not
    be compatible.

    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker
    (There are other applications included in the download...

    As for the error... I wonder if you may have a compatibility issue
    with your source files.

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

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

    Have you tried editing (save) your project in the WMV movie
    format and then importing the video file in Windows DVD WMV
    Maker?

    It is also possible that your project is too large or complex.

  • Problem with the sync audio to video when you use Windows Movie Maker version 6.0

    I have a HP Slimline Pavillion S.3220.uk PC, using Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I have problems with the audio video synchronization when using Windows Movie Maker, version 6.0, I 'get' raw AVCHD files to .wmv using voltaic HD.  I've noticed that the audio and video are out of sync, ONLY after the first thumbnail.  No indirect problem with videos, but when people talk to the camera, in case of DISASTER, as he is out of sync. I tried to reduce the resolution of 720 p and 540 p, and no solution to the problem. Any thoughts on the matter please?

    Hi Fabian119,

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

    There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player (for example, a file compressed with the DivX video codec or the Ogg Vorbis audio codec). Because the player is extensible, in many cases you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee.

    You can visit the following links for more information on codecs:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    You can also view the following link to download the audio file conversion programs and check if you can convert AVCHD to Mpeg.

  • I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

    I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

    I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

    Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

    Help!

    No guarantee but something you could try...

    There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
    that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
    your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
    Mode for these)

    And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
    Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
    success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

    Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
    saved the source files to restore the path.

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

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

  • Problem importing mpeg in windows movie maker 6

    Hello
    I know that this seems to be a repetitive theme but this is: my windows Movie Maker 6 in my laptop computer won't import mpeg (I use vista)... my WMM on my machine from office at will (I use XP)

    Here's the story; I have a canon vixia HF11 which gives me "m2ts" files that used import into WMM... so I found a cheat... I just change the file ext 'MPEG' and that it is important to the former WMM (XP). These "MPEG" do change well in the WMM so I convert them to wmv for editing as I want.

    When I do the same thing on the laptop (vista) the 'new' mpeg file will not import to the WMM as it does on the XP machine. (However, it will play in windows media player)

    the bottom line: is there a way to make the most recent WMM do the same thing as the old?

    If not, is there a simple free converter that will convert my files "m2ts" to something that will work in the most recent WMM?... I already spent a lot of money on this machine and I just want something simple.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Thanks for the help that is going

    Now, I know the problem is the movie maker (version 6) itself. After doing a little more looking around, I discovered that if I install wmm 2.6 (which was made for vista machines that could not handle wmm 6. I did it and everything works fine now. apparently the wmm 6 (vista) does not have certain things the same as the older 2.1 (XP).)

    I'm in place and Rollin' now! Thanks again!
