Windows Movie Maker - sound only, no video is displayed

• 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.

• Windows Movie Maker - Audio only, which plays in the exported project

  Hello.

  I did a project in windows movie maker with video and audio files. Project perfect cheek (the two audio/video playback) in windows movie maker when I am in the phase "creation/editing. When I export it and save the project as a. MP4 or. WMV file and try to play in Windows Media Player, Quicktime or VLC, as the audio of my theatre project. There is no video. However, when I play the other. MP4 files or. WMV files via these media players, they play very well. So I think that the problem is with the export of the Movie Maker project. Also, thinking that I have perhaps incompatible video files to Windows Movie Maker, I tried just using Jpeg files with audio to create a slide show, thinking that it would work with standard Habitat. Yet once, however, that the audio is played with a project containing pictures (no video). Any ideas?

  Audio was working fine, just no photos or video showing once the project has been saved as a movie. So, I tried your solution of creating a short slide show with photos only and no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker and still no luck. Downloaded the pack codek for windows 7 and still no luck.

  So, I decided to download the Vista windows movie maker for my OS to windows 7 and everything works like a charm. Don't know how or why, but the version of Vista is flawless on my windows 7.

  Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate the help.

• How is it that windows movie maker has prepared a video for playback quality

  It was not used to do but now she prepares to video for playback quality, I don't want to I know that sounds strange, but it takes forever to do if there is a lot of videos or if the video is long so how can I disable this function I updated and since then there this preparation video message and I want to know how to turn it off and I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but when I get it installed, once it has always the same thing, I don't know how to get out of there so I don't have to wait if a long time when I have a movie to do and my computer is fast, but it's just that it takes ages to prepare the video if I have a long movie , so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it

  Just a guess...

  Have you ever used Windows Vista Movie Maker 6
  and are now using Windows Live Movie Maker?

  Try to return to Vista Movie Maker 6... It should always

• Windows Media Player sound only during video playback

  Windows Media Player won't PLAY VIDEO (MOVIES); ONLY SOUND CAN BE HEARD.

  Can someone please?  I go crazy - my windows media player will not play anything except the sound on videos (films are so far the problem).  She claims codecs are updated automatically, I'm too scared to download some unknown codec. I tried everything I know to do and I'm not too bad to understand such things.  I am now at a loss.  What is the problem here? BTW-Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Toshiba laptop.  I think that Media Player 11.

  Volunteer J ~ THANK YOU very MUCH FOR THE REPLY! I WILL RESPECT ALL THE SOLUTIONS YOU HAVE TO OFFER!  From what I can tell, they are my videos (movies) transferred from the cd to the media player.  Videos of "sample" provided pre work ok.  My films all have the extension .avi at the end, that's why I don't understand why they will play only the sound of the film, not the actual Visual part. . AVI should be accompanied by my windows media player.  As I said, I'm pretty decent to deal with such things as a result of working with a lot of "technicians" in recent years; This is why I do not bother anyone here, but I am at a loss for what to do. If it's codecs, I don't want to take the risk to download a bad codec and corrupting my system.  Already checked the updates of Media player, there are not available at this time.  She has also set to automatically download codecs.  Man, it drives me crazy!  ConfusedOne70 aka Michelle

• My saved Windows Movie Maker Project open with video clips in the Audio editing panel and vice versa (NOT as it was created). Can I move them back where they belong?

  After days of the creation of a filmmaker 'project' I 'saved project' one last time, then reopen and publish a movie.  All my video Clips (phtotos) now appear in the Audio editing / music along the bottom with only a video clip standing in line of the video of this 'slide show' of 90 minutes.  Is it possible to move these clips to which they belong without having to recreate the whole project?

  What happens if you try to read the project in Movie Maker?

  Looks like your project .mswmm file is corrupt (starting
  Perhaps more than the best approach). The project can be as far
  too big and too complex to publish (save) with success as a
  video file.

  I suggest that you create several small projects
  and publish (save), each of them in the. WMV video format
  and then re-import the collection. To combine WMV files
  in a single movie.

  You can also import collection. Clips WMV to DVD
  Manufacturer and each clip, would have become a scene (chapter)
  on the DVD.

• Windows Movie Maker-impossible to capture videos

  Movie Maker has been so easy...

  I almost gave up.  It was so easy with Movie Maker XP to create quality DVD videos.  Less than 7, I can't capture anything.  I had to buy a new webcam.  My old HD quality video camera is not recognized.  Previously, I spent about 3 hours to create a pleasant 10-minute video edited with pieces imported to import to a well know video sharing site.  With Windows 7, I've probably spent 40 hours and I can't say that I have 1 second of captured video yet.  Unfortunately, my next purchase can come from a competator...

  Unless I can get Windows 7 to recognize my camera, I'm going to have capture my video using a XP machine and then save on a USB stick and transfer it to my Windows 7 computer.  Once this is done, I can import into WMM 2.0 or 2.6 (I have two now).

  I wonder if I could pass in "XP" Mode and get the machine to recognize my camera... I might have to experience this. Not the best solution, but perhaps viable work around...

  =======================================

• Impossible to import a clip in Windows Live movie maker or regular Windows movie maker avi video

  Original title: Director of windows

  I can't import a clip avi video in windows movie maker direct or regular windows movie maker. Only the audio comes through. If I have the video edited and produced in other video software, such as cyberlinkthen the video and audio will come by for me to change. I am able to import it into windows movie maker. I use vista 64-bit. What should I do to make this work? Do I need a special codec? I use a hp pavilion p6140f computer

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  1. This only happens with a particular file type?

  This seems to be a codec problem. Some files supported by Windows movie maker again you will need to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  You can use your favorite search engine to download and install a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker

  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.

• Using Windows Movie Maker - background noise

  I am downloading some videos of Window Movie Maker. All the videos have very strong background noise. But when I play videos in real player, the videos play fine without background noise. My husband has used iMovie to edit these videos and has either no problem of background noise.

  Why would there be background noise on Windows Movie Maker only? I really wish I could use Movie Maker to edit movies, since I'm used to the program.

• Windows Movie Maker does not show the extire file

  original title: VOB's with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.

  Ok.  I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape.  There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long.  I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube.  I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos.  When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it.  I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension.  I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG.  Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41.  He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV.  I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker.  I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well.  I copied all the files on the DVD also.  There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files.  Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer.  He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him.  Any help would be great.  Thank you.

  Thanks for the info.  I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video.  So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total.  After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video.  All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it.  Thanks for your good help.

• Film shot in Windows Movie Maker crashes after 6 seconds during playback in Windows Media Player

  I have a film created (1 minute, 20 seconds) in Windows Movie Maker of two short videos to YouTube.  The original files were .mp4 files and I converted the .wmv files.  I cut 7 seconds since the start of the first video and just linked the two original videos into one.  No special effects.  Plays well in Windows Movie Maker.  Save the file as an .mswmm file (required by Movie Maker) and then published as a .wmv.  When I play it in Windows Media Player, he plays for 6 seconds, then freezes, but the bottom bar is moving, as if he is playing.  I tried to do the same thing without clipping 7 seconds from the beginning - same result.  I used WINFF (free Converter).  Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

  Hello RachelPierce,

  1. what happens when you try to play the files with Windows Movie Maker?

  This problem can be caused by codecs supporting not the file that you created. If you use a converter, I suggest that you convert the files to MPEG format and verify if you are able to play the files.

  Thank you
