    - WMM thinks I have no memory left in My Computer. I had finished making a music video. I clicked the "Save to my computer." When the Windows Movie Maker Wizard shows, I chose my video's destination to be "My Videos." I clicked "Next." Then, when they ask for my video size/selection, I chose "High Quality (small)." This means my video should be 320 x 240. I click "Next." Note: My computer C drive has 46.37 GB left However, when they showed me the saving progress, it shows me "Save to my CD." "You're movie is being recorded and saved to a CD." I don't understand. My destination was supposed to be "My Videos" in my C drive. Plus, it stays at 0% I don't know what's going on. I have plenty of memory left and I don't know why it thinks "My Videos" is full. Please help me and thank you. Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 65019

    - WMV File Clip "Plays" But Video Image Does Not Advance I have Captured a 34 MB File from my Sony HandyCam as a WMV file. As I had checked the box so that it would be automatically split up into individual Clips, MovieMaker 2.1 created 39 Clips out of the file. The first Clip works fine (i.e., the progression bar advances, I hear the audio and the video displays and advances normally in the upper right video display area---and I can pause, move frames forward and backward, etc). I created a Split in the first Clip at a desired point. The subsequent Clips "Play" after some delay---which I assume is beacuse of indexing / positioning to the applicable Start and Stop time reference points in the WMV file---with the progression bar advancing, the audio playing, BUT the video displays only the first frame in the Clip and does NOT advance normally in the upper right video display area. The entire WMV file plays without issue, from end to end, in Windows Media Player without issue. I am at a loss as to what is happening here. I have rebooted my PC and get the same results. The various Clips obviously cannot be edited without being able to "see" and position the frames for further Clip splitting and posting to the Storyboard Timeline. MVP guidance would be much appreciated. Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 65018

    - fuzzy photos AFTER project has been saved Hello all, this is not the first time I have used MM to make a project but it is the first time I feel that the photos I see in my finished product are not very sharp. I can understand that before finalizing the project photos should be fuzzy but not once I save the project. I had such high hope! Please help. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that this time I imported 3 small videos. I read somewhere that I can check the video or movie setting? I just can't seem to find it. Thanks for any help = )) Gabriela Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64997

    - Movie Maker, Vista, and MM restarts instead of publishing I'm using Vista, MM 6.0 etc, WMV audio file, JPG pictures, short video clips in the WMV format. No special effects on transitions. I've worked hard to time the pictures and video with the audio (it's a music video of my band that I'm working on) but when I go to publish --- MM asks for a file name, which I enter and hit next, then it closes, restarts itself, checks for the files, but does absolutely nothing after that. No error messages. It just doesn't publish. I tried copying the file and moving over to XP, but that doesn't work. Duh, I should've realized it would be a different version. What can I do to resolve this? I saw a similar problem on XP posts that's resolved by resaving video with some sort of Microsoft video timestamp program but can't figure out if that applies here. Please help! Thanks! Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64989

    - Movie Maker crashes immediately I tried running Movie Maker for the first time but it crashed immediately. I apparently inherited this (as I've read) from installing SP2...eons ago. In an attempt to repair it, I've managed to install 2.0 over 2.1 and then take 2.0 back off again (I think). I've even tried re-installing the update that put it on originally (I think)...KB892312. All to no avail...it still crashes several seconds after starting it. The desktop is drawn and the pull down menus will respond but I then get the dreaded "xxx has encountered a problem and needs to close..." window. I'd like to just clean install 2.1 again but I can't imagine going back dozens (hundreds?) of fixes to SP2. Ideas? Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64975

    - Windows Movie maker problem hello there. to the point. when trying to create a movie. all is well in the begining. after I add the first video clip, when I add another video clip. an then the Moviemaker Crash's. from the first time I had problems I think when I imported a video clip that was given to me. an when I added it to movie maker. at first was ok. then after it started not work properly. as in the interface. all the features went from what is seen when the all is working. then to now the interface is bare minimal. no transitions an such. well to say after I updated my platform I got to see my moviemaker as it was. but still won't allow me to add one more video clip. it crash's. I notice when I updated my platform it also updated my moviemaker to the new updated 2.1 I have been contemplating on trying to download the trial version to see if that could fix whatever happened to the regestry. ughh its madening. I'm wandering if it could be to do with plugins. I have no experience in this. as I won't load the video that was on disc. for example I'm wandering if the small video clip could have been a divx. I still new to this movie maker, its fun an now its a painful begining. Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64973

    - Splitting a Clip and Saving the Smaller Clips Individually My external memory drive with 27GB of videos crashed. I was able to recover the files after purchasing a file recovery program, but instead of being able to recover my numerous clips, I ended up with one huge 27GB mpeg file. I imported this into Windows Movie Maker Version 5.1 (I am using Windows XP with SP2) and have split the huge clip into 45 smaller, organized clips. Firstly, how can I save these clips into my computer as individual clips? And second, ideally I'd like to save them in mpeg format just as they originally were before my drive crashed. Can anybody help me, please? Thanks! Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64960

    - moving WMM project & files to another computer Hello, I created a music video on an XP computer that worked great. I moved the project and all the related clip files to a VISTA computer so that I could utilize some of the newer "effects" (WMM v.6). BUT, even though the project seems to exhibit all the clips on the timeline just fine - it won't play or "publish" because (I think) WMM thinks the original files are missing. Initially, the timeline was blank - but I clicked on<browse for missing file> which SEEMED to bring everthing back in, but it still doesn't play. Does anyone know how to tell WMM where to "look for" files in the case of a computer change. I know that invariably, with such a switch, the files are obviously no longer in exactly the same spot as before - and the project needs to be re-educated as to their location.

    - Rendering Problems I have a 30 minute film with video clips and bmp photos and wma music. The first rendering requested I free up more memory and suggested â??disk clean upâ??. I did this and then it suggested â??do you want more memoryâ??. I clicked yes and it pulled up all of my programs. I deleted some programs and started rendering. It went OK until about 3 minutes before the end and the video and audio got â??jerkyâ?? and the rendering stopped, saying the video was complete. I removed some more programs, and tried rendering again. This time the same thing happened after only 10 minutes, â??jerkyâ?? and the program is complete. Without removing any more programs, I rendered it again, and this time it stopped after about 12 minutes, saying the program is complete. My source file has taken up about 20 GB of my partitioned 60GB D drive. My C drive has about 7 GB free on my 16GB C drive. SRAM is 512 MB Processor is Pentium 4 1.5GHz Question 1) Is the temporary rendering file on the D or C drive? Question 2) If I cut the video into say 3 separate videos and render each to the hard drive, then place these 3 new video clips on a new time line. Should that work? Question2a) How do you cut up the existing video? Question 2b) Will I have enough memory to do this. Thanks for any advise. Randy -- RR Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64889

    - New movie won't save I have created simple movies by using pictures, clipart and such to create a movie. For the first time I am trying to create a movie using video. I import a movie from a website that is unprotected and in .wmv format. I try to create a new movie by using only a portion of the imported video. The selected clips can be put on the timeline and play just fine. The problem is when I try to save the new video to my computer. The save dialogue opens and within about a minute gets to 95% and then stops and goes no further. It continues to say that it is saving and the Task Manager indicates that it is running. But it never completes the save. I even let it go for 12 hours on one try. The same result happens when trying to save to a CD except that the process stops at 55%. This has been the same result on three different computers using XP Pro and XP. What is the problem? Can movies not be made from downloaded videos imported into Movie Maker?

    - Soundtrack Transitions Questions for you all. I'm making a movie with a soundtrack of selected songs. Many of the songs are several minutes in length (too long for my needs). Currently, my option appears to be to cut the song where there is a loll. However, even at its best these transitions are rough and abrupt. I'd prefer a more seemless move from song to song. I've found the movie maker tool that toggles the ratio/volume between the soundtrack and narration tracks, but there doesn't seem to be a tool or button that allows one to fade music in and out while staying in the soundtrack.

    - gif files and animation I have had Office 2007 for about a year, but haven't wmm since the beg of 2006. When I created a movie back in 06 I used a MS gif and stretched it out for the opening of our Christmas. Santa Claus and his Reindeer in the sky. The legs are moving. I put it in a powerpoint slide and then saved the pic to import pic into WWM. Okay so now I can't get my gifs to do anything. Why not? Also is there anyway to take a gif pic and animate it like in the powerpoint or convert the powerpoint slideshow to WMM including the stuff moving across the slide. ie I have a birthday card with balloons that float up and a airplane with the banner in the back where I added a text file to move across at the same time with the airplane and the audio clip of an airplane engine as it moves across the screen saying Happy Birthday whomever! For example, I want to create an easter video with a picture and have a Easter bunny hop across the slide. If not with WMM is there anything else out there that I can use. This is my 3rd project and the one I just finished in my opinion isn't as good as the first. Thanks for all and any help! :) -- Liz Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64860

    - Import 100+ files? I downloaded a utility that split my DV file into scenes optically. It seems to have worked very well, but I was wondering if there is a way to import all those little avi files into WMM quickly. For now I have to click on each one, and drag it into the storyboard. I tried selecting a bunch, but it only brings in the very final one. For example, if I choose file_001 through File_0010 only 0010 is imported. I don't quite understand why it ignores the fact I selected a bunch of files before that one, but it does. Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64853

    - downloading completed film to CD I have Windows XP home edition. I have made up several films in Movie Maker. I have gone to the question would you like to download to CD. I have commenced the download to CD. The process works and it tells me so many minutes remaining and X% complete. It then gets to a figure like 40% remaining and 58% complete. And that is where it stays. Nothing moves from 40 seconds remaining however long I leave it. I have gone out and done the shopping for several hours to see if it needs further time but still there is 40 seconds remaining and nothing changes. I look in Task manager and it tells me the program is running but in actuality nothing is. I then stop the recording onto CD and so nothing is transferred. Note at the beginning when trying to download the program tells me the capacity of the film. It is approx 100GB and well withing the capacity of the disc at 700MBs. I don't get a message saying I am trying to download too much so it is not that. Am I doing something wrong? What does the 40 seconds refer to? Is there a way to put this right and complete a transfer to a CD. Another question once above is solved can I transfer the film to a DVD instead of a CD . Look forward to any advice available Tag: Downloading from Camcorder with Vista Tag: 64851
