    - Saving finished Movie I'm a first time user. I'm trying to save a movie to a recordable CD. Movie plays fine on the Storyboard. Try to save and get the Error message: This project contains source files that are missing or 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. Have checked source files and everything seems ok. Anyone got any suggestions?

    - 3gp movies - how to convert (to AVI?) Hello, I have a Nokia 6280 mobile phone which can take films stored in the 3gp format. I would like to make real films out of these files, but they have to be converted somehow. How can I convert these 3gp-files into a format that can be used by windows or the movie maker or windows media player? Which format would be preferrable? Are there any free tools? Pls. post if you already successfully did what I am trying! I tried some tools that google shows but with no luck. I can convert in good quality to MP4 with "3GP_Converter" http://www.nurs.or.jp/~calcium/3gpp/ however, I read that this format is not good for use in programs like moviemaker because it is good for low bandwith internet connections. regards arno Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55934

    - No video effects or transistions for domain users I work at a high school and have recently installed XP on a suite of computers. In the suite there are several shuttles and towers. The problem I am having is with movie maker on the towers. On these movie maker will run perfectly as the local administrator or domain administrator, but when any other type of domain user tries to use the software only two video effect appear (Slow Down,Half and Speed Up, Double) and no transistions. I have tried several methods to try to resolve the problem but with no joy. (from here http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=25682 ) The strange thing is that movie maker works fine on the shuttles. We are running Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0 and Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 : Service Pack 2) Any help would be greatly appreciated, also if you need any more information just ask.

    - length of clips driving me crazy.....help?!?! Hi my name is beth and I am making a video of a bunch of pictures and backgrounds for my best friend. The problem I am having is that I want to make the length of alot of the clips longer. I was able to make them all longer a few days ago. but I saved it and when I reopened it.. it had condensed all of the pictures back to like a couple seconds each. I dont know why it didnt leave them at the length I arranged them to. Well anyway, now that they are condensed .. I dont even have the option to make them longer..and i dont know why. Is there another way to make the clips longer than draging them when that arrow shows up on the timeline screen?!?! its soo frusterating and i just want it to work. I dont know if I am doing something wrong or what, but im hoping you can help.. thx!!! Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55878

    - Where Is The Snow Effect? Hello, I keep seeing reference being made to a falling snow effect in the Windows Movie Maker 2 Winter Fun Pack, but I can't find it for the life of me. It's not in the Videos folder of Fun Pack. All that contains is: Happy Holidays, Happy New Year LONG, Happy New Year SHORT, Made With Movie Maker 2, Season's Greetings SNOWBALL, Season's Greetings SNOWMAN and Wishing. No falling snow! And it's not in any of the transitions or effects of WMM2, which I think someone said it would be once Fun Pack is installed. What am I missing? Where is the snow?

    - hardly kno what I'm doin' to be honest Just got a new desktop with XP and have a Kodak camera that shoots video. So, I did an experimental 10 minutes of video to see what it'd look like. Then transfered the video I shot to a CD. It was only after that, that I discovered Movie Maker on my pc. There were instructions I found in a book on letting MM do the work automatically. But, I couldn't seem to get the video transferred drom the CD to MM to work it's magic. I did see a clip in mm but couldn't import it or drag anything. Gee, hard ta tell I'm new at this huh? Would much appreciate any advice you may have. Thank You Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55854

    - Unable to fully transfer mpeg2 from H/drive to WMM. I have mpeg2 movie clips on the hard drive of my IBM R50e laptop which would not transfer fully into Windows Movie Maker. All I could get was the sound track but no images. This was also the case on my other desktop computer. Following a recent response you gave to another enquirer, with roughly the same problem, I took the advise given and downloaded codecs from www.rehanfx.org/utils/reregdlls.bat and had success with the desktop for which I thank you for the advice given. The IBM laptop, however, still will not allow images into WMM. Any info would be gratefully received! Many Thanks Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55852

    - Video Capture - Recognising source I have a Dazzle DVC170 external USB card to convert my VCR analogue video and audio. Device Manager confirms this is working properly although it appears to think that it is a sound card rather than a video/sound card. It works satisfactorily with Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder software. However, Windows Movie Maker does not recognise this card as a capture device. Is there any way of informing WMM that the card is a capture device? Thankyou in advance. Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55851

    - Importing video problem I've used MM 2.1 numerous times over the past few years. Mostly to create DVDs of family vacations. This week I ran into an issue I've never experienced. I captured a 67 minute video (DV-AVI) format from my Sony MiniDV the same as I always have. The problem is that MM 2.1 only recognizes the first 2 seconds of the file. The entire 13.7 gb file is on my system as I can play it in Media Player. I've tried importing it into MM a few different ways. I've also tried re-capturing it a few times, but no success. I'm using Windows XP SP2 and IE7. The only change to my system from the last time I used MM would be the change to IE7. Can someone give me an idea of what's going on?

    - Saved movie isn't saved I have several movies I have created, put in all the photos, inserted the transitions, created the title pages, inserted the audio and completed everything except adding one or two extra photos. I clicked on "save project as".... and saved it. But when I open the project again to add the extra photos I didn't have handy when I developed the movie, I find all my photos are gone. All replaced by large red X's. The title pages are there, the transitions are there, the audio is there but almost but not quite all photos are gone. What is happening and what is causing this?

    - Quality of video Hi, I have been usign Macs but recently bought a secondhand Dell (Optiflex GX260) for various reasons, but mainly so my children could play a few PC games they had acquired. Because XP comes with Movie Maker, I hitched up my camcorder (Sony TRV460) and downloaded a minute or two of footage. And the quality once it is acquired by my PC is TERRIBLE. Now why should that be? Would it have something to do with the graphics card which came with the Dell? When I have previously edited video on a Mac, the quality of ther footage is almost as good as that when played on the camcorder. So why is Windows footage so much worse?To see just how bad the quality is, take a lookl at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9BkthwymJQ where I have uploaded it to Youtube. Please someone tell me.

    - Movie Maker in Vista saves overly complex projects.... In Windows XP, a movie project can get too complex for the computer's memory to handle when publishing the movie. Movie Maker in Vista is completely different under the hood. If more memory is needed, it uses part of the hard drive. My first test was a movie of 8 hrs, 22 minutes... all video clips... rendering a movie takes time... 18-1/2 hours later I had a 4.1+ GB wmv file that was complete and played fine. Sometimes a super slide-show is harder to render than a long string of video clips. My second test was a 5-1/4 hour show that used 5,000 7-megapixel JPG files from our recent vacation, a transition between each, and music provided by 64 MP3 music tracks. Publishing to Vista's option for DVD quality took 10-1/2 hours of rendering, and it produced a great looking and sounding 2.4 GB WMV movie file. -- PapaJohn www.papajohn.org -- website references are to www.papajohn.org PapaJohn Tag: Slow loading "Checking Project" Tag: 55771

==================================
Things to try...

Add more RAM.

Increase the size of your paging file.

Run DiskCleanup, Error Checking
and Defrag.

Disconnect from the net and close all
programs...especially virus scanners...
before opening Movie Maker.

Also if your image files are from a very
high resolution camera...it may be worth
a try to create copies and resize them.
The following article may offer some ideas.
