I'm trying to make music video using videoclips from .avi file which has
video and sound (the file is 685 MB). I created clips by using 'split'
option and clips work fine by themselves, but when I put them on timeline,
they don't work together-Movie Maker freezes and crashes. I also imported
audio file (song-mp3 file) and made it so that combined length of videoclips
and the audio/music fit together), and I was able to save file as MSWMM file,
but whenever I tried to save it as wmv (movie) file I keep getting message
'Can't save it as a movie file, because clips have been modified after
importing or are missing'. Then I tried creating clips by importing file
automatically and then adding same audio/music file and I was able to save
file as MSWMM file, but whenever I tried to save it as wmv (movie) file I
also keep getting message 'Can't save it as a movie file, because clips have
been modified after importing or are missing'. I have done full system
anti-virus scans and full system spyware scans and I didn't find anything
corrupt/infected. I had done everything according to the4 instructions in the
'help' section of Movie Maker and I also followed aqll the instructions of
creating a movie using Movie Maker in utorial for beginners on this site and
I looked through other tutorials, but I couldn't find the source of the
problem and the solution to the problem. Please help.

Thank you very much for your time.

Yours sincerely,

dzved

You didn't mention the types of source files used..... if they are things
like MPEG-2, or AVI files encoded by Divx or Xvid, then you should be
converting them to other files that work better in Movie Maker.

If it's not these, see the Problem Solving > Can't Save a Movie page of my
website.

I mentioned which file: I think I said: 'I'm trying to make music video using
videoclips from .avi file which has video and sound (the file is 685 MB). '
Which file should I convert them to?

Yes, you had mentioned AVI... I should have referred you to the Import
Movie Source Files > Video > AVI and Video Codecs pages of my site.

AVI could be Digital Video or any variety of compressed or uncompressed
video files, with compression codecs that work or don't work with Movie
Maker. If one doesn't work, you need to convert it to another one that does.
