    - Animated Movie using Movie Maker 2 I'm trying to create a simple animated feature using, hopefully, Movie Maker 2. What I need help with is moving a graphic within the frame. For example, let's say that there is a static background image and I want to move a small graphic across this background image. These images would be hand drawn, say in gif/png/jpeg format. If it's possible, how would I go about do that? Thanks in advance. Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42382

I am trying to create a second film using some new captured DV footage (about 20gb), my computer is doing nothing else and has over 60GB of free HDD but I cannot even get past the first two seconds of the film without huge judder as if my HDD or system was struggling to cope (this is within MM using a small preview screen). I have defragged my HDD and my computer is two months old, with all other apps working fine. I even deleted the orginal captured DV footage fopr my first film to ensure that I have suffient HDD space. What am I missing here? HELP! Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42373

    - saving to mini dv I have a movie that I am trying to save to my panasonic mini dv. I have the ieee1394 firewire. When I try to save to the camcorder, I dont get an error message, but it wont let me save it. I have read all the trouble shooting stuff and I think I have that covered. I have modified the size of the file when I save to CD or desktop and it will let me. I think the file is too large when I create my movie. I have 9 songs and approx 1200 images. The file shows only 254 meg before I save my movie. I cant see where I can change the bit rate from the pc to the camcorder. I can save the file just fine and view it in media player after changing the bit rate when going to the CD. Am I just out of luck because the file is too big when recording to the camcorder? Please help. Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42328

    - Speed up clip TIP and questions I wanted to speed up a clip in WMM2 more than the default 2X; so I doubled the speed, saved the clip as an AVI then imported it back into Collections, sped it up again (2X), saved it to an AVI, re-imported it again and then finally applied a 2X Video Effect to give me a very speedy clip (without apparent loss of frames or introducing very choppy video). The question I have, is there any loss in AVI quality the more I apply this technique to a set of clips? Also, I have been reading on PapaJohn's website that WMM uses AVI-I versus AVI-II, what do DV camcorders typically save to tape, AVI-I or AVI-II? Is there any consumer way of editing AVI-II or is that left to the professional equipment? Any advantage to using AVI-II or is it lossy, the more you import and save back to AVI-II (if you can)? Thanks, PJ Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42327

    - Using Overlays I was just reading about using overlays in MM and it sounds like an interesting idea. However, when I try to drag my png to the overlay part of the timeline, it stops dead in the video section and won't go where I want it. Could someone explain to me simply how to use overlays over images? Or can they only be over transitions? Thank you! Rach Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42323

    - Ever see a stray frame/image copied into a transition?? I am editing an hour-long video with about 100 clips. I think I am encountering an error in WMM, but not sure. When I split a long clip into two clips, and then delete one of the clips, sometimes a single image/frame from the deleted clip appears in the "transition" for the next clip. It is only a single frame/image, but it ruins the video because it is out-of-context. My video appears choppy, with a single image spliced between two clips. My question is "where is this single image stored?" It seems to be stored in the "transition" between clips. As I scroll through the video frame by frame, the stray image appears "between" two clips. If I view the storyboard screen and click on the transition box, I can see the stray image/frame. I wish I could delete it. I am not using any transitions in this video. The menus do not allow me to delete the transition because WMM thinks I have not specified any transitions. Has anyone seen this? Thanks!! Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42317

    - Question for Papa John Hi Papa John, You have helped me before, so I wanted to ask you this question. I have made a movie in Movie Maker, burned it to a DVD.

    - Can't Capture Video I have a JVC DV camcorder that I am trying to capture video from. I have a firewire card and cable that are new and I have already captured three tapes worth of video with. Now I am running into a problem. I can connect the camcorder and it automatically open WMM and its capturing utility. I go through all of the set up and select either capture whole tape or capture manually. Preview is on. Then when I go to Start Capture WMM will control the camcorder but nothing appears in the preview, the size of file always shows as 5K i believe but the time displays as zero. When I stop the Capture it gives me an error that the device might not be connected properly or the program isn't correct. I have uninstalled the firewire driver twice, I even removed the card all together. Any info would be great Thanks Sean Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42301

    - Beg. Questions I have many photo's that I scanned up at 300dpi and would like to put on both a CD and DVD. 1) Have read alot on here about 16:9 ratio but am confused. They are in Paperport format right now (.max) for best quality should I save in .jpg or .bmp? I have Paint Shop Pro so I can resize them. But what do I resize them to for burning to both CD and DVD. 2) "Video Impression program" came with my Canon digital camera and save's the video to .avi and slideshows save to .slw . Do I then need another program to burn the video or slide show and if so does Windows movie maker do this? If I do need another program which to you recommend that does both CD and DVD that is very affordable. Any help 4 this newbie would be appreciated... as I have been reading up on the internet for about 7 days about video authoring and my brain is now in melt down.

    - Picture over Video Please help. I have about 10 minutes of captured video with an important audio track on the video. About 5 minutes in, I would like to put a picture over the video, yet allow the video to keep running so as to allow the audio track to come through. The effect I am looking for would be similar to a weather man. First the camera is focused on him, then you continue to hear him talking but on your TV you see a weather map. Is this possible?

    - WMM Keeps crashing. Randomly decides to crash over and over again. Sometimes before uploading audio and sometimes it can also be when I attempt to upload a picture file. Never had this trouble before. I'm probably just going to get told to re-install but not exactly the way to go around technical problems, so if anybody can help contact me on itsonlythedave@hotmail.com asap please as I can finish editing my films but just annoying when it decides it wants to goto sleep.

    - Can someone explain to me how to perform very simple video edits in Avid or Premiere Hi, I have started a temporary contract position with a small multimedia company. Although, my main area is Windows support, I am constantly bothered by people wanting spliced and diced audio and video files. Although I am not familiar with either area, the audio editing software is fairly intuitive and I have got by. I am afraid with video tools (Avid and Premiere), I am lost. I dont want to be able to do anything fancy, but if someone asks me to split an mpeg or an avi file of 2 hours into one chunk of 40 minutes and one of 1 hour 20, I want to be able to do it immediately. What is the simplest way to do this? I know there is a movie editor in XP too, but I couldn't even figure that one out. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

    - Capturing Video, jumps forward I have a Sony DV camcorder. I have been using a DV firewire (IEEE 1394) to transfer my videos to computers. I don't use it often though.. except now it is soccer/band season. The last time I used it successfully was in Jan 2005 and it transferred fine. Now when I use the DV cord, it records, but jumps forward and it 'broken' up. I tried using the USB cord and it does transfer w/o the jumps, but the video quality is much less. My guess was a driver, but can't confirm that. Another possibility I came across was a conflict with a Windows Service Pack 2 update. My husband handles those things. Help! I have many videos to transfer, but the quality is terrible! -- Movie Mama Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42232

    - Can't Save to CD - Source Files Missing or Have Been Modified I have my Windows Movie Maker completed on my PC. It looks and sounds great. Both still and movie clips are included. However, when I follow Movie Maker instructions "To Save A Movie to CD", I receive the following error message: "Cannot Complete Save Movie Wizard. This project contains source files that are missing or that have been modified after import. Your project cannot be saved as a movie until the source files have been located or deleted from the project." All the still photos, movie clips and sound are on my PC.

    - How to select multiple audio clips for nudging? Using MM2.1, how can specific, but not all, parts of the audio be selected for "nudging" forward or backward? Approximately the last half of the audio in a 40-minute video is out of synch, and needs to be nudged. I know how to select audio clips one at the time; but since there are so many in the last 20 minutes, am hoping there is a faster, more efficient method of selecting a large number, but not all, of the audio clips in a project. All suggestions will be appreciated. Tag: Creating collage of stills in movie Tag: 42227
