    - PC vs Mac I am currently riding the fence between purchasing a PC laptop or a Mac laptop. I have a PC desktop right now with ME installed on it, and it's been a huge headache for us. We're tempted to go Mac simply because the ME has been a bad experience. The main purpose of the laptop will be for photo and video editing. My wife and I want to make CD's with pictures of our son and send them to relatives. I know you can have them with great transitions and music. I've spoken with several people and I am trying to get a balanced opinion before making any purchase. I've been told that Mac's make the editing process a walk in the park, and part of me is hoping that PC's can also make it easy because I'm very familiar with PC's. Anyway, do you have an honest, open opinion or advice? I'd love to hear it! -- I appreciate any input you may have regarding this matter. Thank you! Tag: Preview Window Tag: 32112

I would like to be able to select a picture and control the panning that appears on the picture. I'd like to start out zoomed in on my son's face and then gradually zoom out to include the rest of the family. I like this feature because it creates a sense of movement, even though its pictures.

    - Saving to DV-AVI loses 6 seconds of movie length Hi there. I am trying to overcome a bug in WMM2 with audio popping when saving to DV-AVI so please someone tell me if I am going about it the wrong way. (The popping apparently comes from the transitions and the audio being saved at the same time; so first I save the slideshow with no audio as an AVI. Then in a second project I use the first silent AVI as the video, add my WMA soundtrack, save as AVI again and voila, no skipping in the final AVI--but it loses 6 seconds). My main goal is to output 12 separate slideshows (with transitions and audio) as separate movies and then burn to DVD using MyDVD. But I do not get that far. An example project has 86 stills and 3 title/overlays with fade transitions in between. I have a WMA file that is 04:41 (4 mins 41 secs) long and I time the transitions using a trick I got from Rehan (thanks by the way) to synch perfectly. In the preview it is great and the audio stops on a dime. However, when I produce any AVI (either the 1st silent or through the 2 pass method) I end up with a shorter movie, namely 4:35 or 6 seconds shorter even though it shows 4:41 in the timeline. It is most obvious when I import the silent AVI into the timeline and it is noticeably shorter. I would not be so picky but the slides are supposed to sync with the music just so and If I just "fade out" early the effect is just not as clean. I use AVIs because of earlier problems I had with WMVs and MyDVD. And to make this more interesting, I do not lose 6 seconds if I save to WMV. Help, please if you can! Tag: Preview Window Tag: 32082

    - WMM only imports one clip at a time I have just returned from a month's holiday. Just before going away I used WMM and there were no problems. On return, I found that when I import a Video clip or mpeg, it removes any existing clips from the collection and only inserts the last clip in the selection to import. Wonder if this is perhaps a problem that is caused by Auto Update? Any ideas? Tag: Preview Window Tag: 32081

    - For my son Tony - Problem using MSMC(2004) and MCMM(2.0.3312.0) Hello Everyone, My son Tony has a large collection of VHS tapes (mostly animation cartoon type) that he has recorded himself over the years. I have also taught him how to use computers since he doesn't go to school. Knowing his VHS (and a few old Beta) tapes will get old and deteriorate, I decided to save up and get him a new computer to transfer the video tapes to DVD. Hopefully to edit also. Therefore, I purchased a Dell 8400 with the video capture card and MS Media Center 2004. (I'm having trouble getting the overseas customer support to assist me in upgrading to MSMC 2005). The media center will capture the video (we are using COAX cable for now), (also have s-video, RCA, and comp jacks if really necessary). However, once the videos are captured using the MSMC we are unable to get the Movie Maker (2.0.3312.0) to allow him to edit his captured video which is in "dvr.ms" format. Is there a better product to help him to capture the analog video from VHS and Beta, then edit/clean up to his pleasure, and finally burn to his double layered DVD writer? I'm willing to try and get better software if it is highly recommended and the cost is not prohibitive. But, If everyone suggests using what we have, could someone tell us how best we do that? We appreciate any assistance! Thank you for helping my son Tony get his Videos to DVD!!

    - John Kelly? How do you legally host / post videos that contain material with copy rights; movie clips, songs, etc? E.g., clips from James Bond movies, songs from 'Rush', etc? And, maybe it's just a coincidence, but after asking you this question in another thread it seems like I can no longer access your site. could you explain that as well? This was was in another thread, may be of intrest: Thanks for your comprehensive responses. I now have a better idea where the line is drawn. Perhaps there are a few experts out there that can give us some more information as to how they've secured the rights to post clips which contain copy written songs or clips from movies on the Internet, to be view publicly. After all, all material gained from other sources should be duly acknowledged and if copy rights exist they should be respected. No value is obtained by publishing in any format other peoples work without securing right to do so. "J.

    - Video will not play in preview window I imported a video clip into WMM. A thumbnail of the video does not appear in the icon for that clip. When I play the clip, the audio plays just fine but the screen remains black. If I drag-n-drop the clip into the timeline, only the audio appears there. Furthermore, in the menu bar on the left side of the screen, if I click on Import Video, WMM freezes; this does not happen if I click on Import Audio or Pictures. The only way I can even bring in a video clip is via the File menu. I'm using Win XP on a Sony Vaio PC; this is WMM v.2.1.

    - Is it possible to batch save a bunch of movies? I have edited a bunch of movies.

    - Can't get to play DVD on standalone player Once project is completed in wmm, what is best way to burn? If I open Nero and Add Video Files, the burning process takes 4 hours for a 40 minute video. If you open project in wmm, and right click on the media file, you can send to sonic which burns the DVD in 2 minutes! Why the difference? Saving the file as DV AVI makes the file 8.28 GB which won't fit on the disk. Saving it as High Quality Video makes the file 471 MB which burns fine. Either way, the disks will not play on a standalone player. When I transferred video from camcorder into wmm and let the defaults save the program as it wanted, it played on the standalone player but the quality was poor as the resolution was low. -- Garyd Tag: Preview Window Tag: 32052

    - Problem getting finished video back to DV camera Hi all, I'm using MM2 on Win XP with SP2 Had no problem capture video with Firewire from my Canon ZR45 MC. Was able to edit, add music, etc. Was able to make an AVI and/or wmv. BUT, when I try to do File, Save Movie File and pick DV camera it doesn't work right. It records it back to the camera but the results are weird as follows: - 3 minute video ends up being 10 minutes on the DV tape - Video constantly cuts in and out (1 sec on 2 off or thereabouts) - The sounds doesn't really come through except in bits and pieces - Not sure if it is significant, but when I play back the original recorded video the screen says "12 bit", but when I try to play back the junk I get from uploading from MM2 it says "16 bit". I don't think it is my hardware. I have an Athlon XP 2200+ (1600 mhz) system with 768 MB ram. And again I had no problem capturing from the camera in the first place.

Use the link on the main page of my website to get to the TM2 download page. The default installation will be to a different folder than version 1, and you can run both versions on your computer.

    - WMM2.1 When creating a file for the web and then selecting DSL the program converts and saves, and indicates it is saved succesfully. But I cannot find the saved file. I've repeated this several time but each time I cannot find the saved file. It should have been saved as a WMV to use on the web. I do not select the Microsoft suggested sites. Why is it not being saved even though it said it's been saved. Please help -- Gene Tag: Preview Window Tag: 31985

    - Audio from one clip with video from another! Is there any way to combine the audio from one video clip with the video from another? I want to overlay the audio from one clip with a title clip. BUT, the key is I don't want it in the "Audio/Music" line because I want to keep the music going. Know what I mean? Everytime I try it, the audio jumps to the "Audio/Music" line and interrupts the music. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Rachel Tag: Preview Window Tag: 31984

    - "insufficient memory" error when saving While editing various video clips I ran into this "insufficient memory" error when trying to save my project. I don't know why I'm getting this message, and if it refers to my RAM or hard drive space. I have a gig of RAM and well over 25 gigs of storage on my hard drive, so I don't understand how it's insufficient. With movie maker open, the computer is only using about 550mb of RAM. Any ideas as to what it might mean, and how to fix it? Tag: Preview Window Tag: 31964

I can edit etc with WMM no problem, but when I use the preview window to view
the partially finished or finished video, the picture in the preview window
"freezes".
The audio and music still continue, but the picture either stays "frozen" or
moves on for one or two seconds only. It is like watching a slide show!
Can anyone offer any suggestions on stopping this happening please?

It could be the power and condition of your computer and hard drive... to
keep up with the ticking of the clock, info will be dropped as needed.

but this only effects the preview... a rendered movie will have all the info
it to play smoothly. The rendering process doesn't need to keep up with the
clock.

tune up your hard drive and turn off other apps to enhance the preview
playback... but even then it might not be smooth.
