    - Intentionally Blurring a Clip I would like to Slow Down and Blur a clip. I want to shoot my two nephews walking toward me and have the clip blurred to the point that you cant make out what it is and then cut away to stills then come back to the shot as it comes into focus. Can that be done, or does that have to be done all in the camera? I think the last part will have to be done in the camera but that a clip that is blurry to out of focus can be done in WMM. I just cant figure it out. Before you ask I did add Blur to the Clip 6 times (the max) and it didnt make it blurry enough. Thanks in advance. Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65794

    - Music files? Every time I import some music files, for some odd reason, the time says it's about 7:30 minutes long? I play it in windows media, and it says 3:58 minutes(correct time). Also, if I'm in the middle of making a video, and I want to see a certain part, the music starts off somewhere else. For example, I'm using the song Far Away, and it would play the chorus where the verse should be. There isn't any corruptions with the music files, or any errors either. They work perfectly with other windows programs. What am I supposed to do to fix it? Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65790

    - Blurry pictures Hello. My pictures are showing up really blurry when I preview the photo slideshow I made in Movie Maker. I read that this is normal but when you show on the tv it will not be blurry. Here is my issue: I want to show the slideshow on the tv, but I am not quite sure what the best way t is to get it to the tv. Can I just save it as a movie file and then get some kind of cord to hook it up to the tv? If this is the case, then what is the best way to save it? What kind of cord do I need? Will the pictures be blurry? Or do I need to get the slideshow on a dvd? I do not have dvd burner but my friend does. If this is the correct solution then what is the best way to get the slideshow on the dvd and still have it show good quality pictures on the tv? Thanks for your help!

    - Movie Maker Crashes after 7 items placed in story line I have cured the problem ... after about 30 hours of reading up and trying various suggestions Thanks to those that replied and helped me finally establish a solution For the archives, and to help others here is an out line of what I found out. A) This is a problem that has been recorded several times before ( see Dean Rowe blog) some people have experienced crashing after 6 items are put on the story board and some after the seventh but it is always the same fixed number of items when the crash occurs B) The problem seems to be that the update files Wmm2ae.dll through to Wmm2res.dll are up loaded via Microsoft automatic update BUT the main programe moviemk.exe is not ( has not been ) updated and is vers 2.0 instead of ver 2.1 c) uploading xp sp2 or running Microsoft up dates DID NOT cure it d) this is how I FOUNDthe problem make a restore point in c:\program Files\Movie maker, view , tiles Check that Wmm2Ae.dll .... to Wmm2res.dll are there and have the version number 2.1.40.26 ( as per Dean Rowe's blog) CheckMovieMk.exe in explorer select properties and if the file is ver 2.0 then you have confirmed the problem it should be ver 2.1.... All of the following may not be necessary but here is how I rectified it I AM NOT A COMPUTER BLOKE SO I AM ONLY TELLING YOU WHAT WORKED FOR ME! open START UP - RUN TYPE In C:\windows\system32\dllcache ENTER ........ see Dean Rowe's blog if its not hthere and you need ServicePackFiles\i386 Hold down control and select the following files Moviemk.exe wmm2ae.dll wmm2eres.dll Wmm2ext.dll Wmm2flt.dll Wmm2fxa.dll Wmm2fxb.dll Wmm2res2.dll Wmm2res.dll .note I did not find ANY of these Wmm" files here so I just selecteed Moviemk.exe on it's own. EDIT, COPY Go to c:\program Files| movie maker ( the missing Wmm2 Files were HERE - I ignored them for being away from there proper place -naughty files) EDIT , PASTE in CONFIRM FILE REPLACE .... YES TO ALL Restart Windows XP I then did a run update from Control panel , automatic update and It said I needed Service pack 3 I express installed this which took about 2hours !!!! An Bobs your uncle Movie maker updated to version 2.1 and every thing is running OK To see what I did with go to YOU TUBE SPARKFISHES and it will be TESLA COIL TUNING and TOP LOADS .......... its a shocking experience Thanks to all those who have spent many hours putting articles and advice on these matters To MICROSOFT >>>>>>>>>>>>> MOVIE MAKER IS SOooooo FLAKEY Shame on you!

    - An interface has too many methods to fire from... intermittent iss I think I have read just about every response to this error message, except my issue is a little different than the others. I have a Sony DCR-HC30 which I used for years with WMM 2.1 connect via firewire with no issue. Now I ingest footage off my DCR via WMM with no issue, edit and output it for DVD burning and suddenly the AVI files that I could view yesterday, are unreadable today with the "An interface has too many methods to fire events from" error. Now the only think I have changed over the years is the addition of a 500Gb HDD for storing and working on more video footage. The drive has occassion issues staying connected through the USB. I am suspecting that it is either the drive or the USB connection that is unstable here. I am lookinf for options and suggestions to resolve my issues. Would connecting external HDD to the PC via firewire improve anything? Is there another resolution I am overlooking? Please advise. Thanks. Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65758

    - Import images file either not valid or corrupted I am having a problem that I have looked ever where else to find an answer to. Twice in the last three days now I have had to re-import my video and music files in to MM, I get an error message that says the files or either not valid or corrupted. I had to shut down MM and all the file were there and fine, when I restarted it a minute later I received this message.

    - Nothing works! Hi. I am so frustrated. I spent 700.00 on a camera ( with extra battery pack, case ect...) and I can not make a movie. I was so excited to discover that my WXP had MM but then I find out it won't accept my mpg2 movies. Papajohn (and others ) post that I need to download a converter and convert them to avi. files. I did that. Then I need to download a Panasonic codec something or other, I did that. Now I have managed to turn one film into an avi file,( yeah!) but MM2( I upgraded to MM2 thinking that might help) will not accept that either. says I don't have the codec. In control panel I see that the new codec is up and running.. sooo.... Help me please! I really do want my new expensive toy but I am not enjoying it ! Thank you to whoever helps me with this. Papajohn, your sight probably has everything I need but since I don't know ANYTHING about software I am probably not doing it right. Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65736

    - No Sound I'm creating a video and I've imported 2 songs. One works fine but the other one doesn't make a sound! I right clicked on it, clicked on Play clip and it still won't play. I checked it out in Windows Media Player and it works fine. When I went back, the other song wouldn't play so I deleted them both and imported them again. The one now will play but the one I had problems with to begin with, still doesn't have sound. I've restarted my computer 2 or 3 times and still can't get the song to play in WMM. Both files are mp3.

    - Error Opening Movie Maker Project (Redirected) I accidentally posted this in the wrong group, but someone kindly informed me of my mistake. I'm using Windows Movie Maker with XP and no, no IE7. Now, when creating my video there were no issues really. I saved it a couple times, but I didn't actually have to open it again during its creation because I kept WMM running the whole time I was making it. After it was completed I tried to save it as a movie file. I've done this plenty of times with no issue, but the progress bar stuck at 89% and then the estimated time remaining went up. (65 seconds, then 1 minute, then 4 minutes) I canceled and then attempted to save again, but encountered the same issue. I restarted my computer and then when I tried to open the project I was informed that WMM had enountered an error and needed to close, so sorry. It's very important that I rescue this file, because it was a creative project and there is basically no way I could redo it. Especially because when I tried to do that, create another version of it, I had the same error when trying to open THAT saved file. However, WMM is okay when opening other projects I've finished long ago, at least for now. Please... can anybody help me, and soon? Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65675

    - After unchecking codecs, MM won't start - says it can't find audio I have XP with SP2. MM was starting to crash on me more and more, especially after adding audio. I followed the advice on papajohn.org to uncheck some codecs in the MM options. Then crashes seemed less frequent, but after the next reboot MM won't start - it says "Windows movie maker cannot be used because the required audio hardware cannot be found on your computer." I'm pretty sure I didn't remove any codecs specific to my sound card (Realtek AC'97), but I uninstalled the sound card drivers, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled them anyway. No change. I've searched the web and found others having this message, but not because of simply unchecking codecs. How do I recover? I have a deadline for this movie (son's graduation in a week), with many hours of work yet to be done. Thanks. Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65669

I am unfamiliar with this platform, and of course, do not have a Mac. I would like to find out how feasible it is to move a video project between iMovie and MM2.1. Could I work on the project in iMovie while in the course and then bring it home and work on the project in MM2.1? Am I pipe dreaming? <g> Thanks! Saga -- Tag: I have Vista and movie maker Tag: 65637

    - Restore crashed Movie File I've recorded about 2 hours a movie by a digital cam with Microsoft Movie Maker. When I finished the record Movie Maker starts to create a wmv movie. While creating the movie the Movie Maker crashed. The size of the created movie is 202 MB but not finished. With VLC-Player I can view the first part of the movie but not all. At my hard disc I found two files "WMTF.tmp" and "WMT10.tmp". My guess is that Movie Maker has cashed the record in this file. Can I restore the movie with these two files?

    - PS3 to MM2 - problems burning I've wasted 32 DVD-R trying to figure this out. I made an animated PS3 WMV and saved under a few profiles. DVD-NTSC has the best end results. After importing this file into MM2 to add to my existing movie then save as a DVD-NTSC movie, some of the PS3 transitions jitter, but I can live with them. My main problem is trying to burn to a DVD-R. The quality is terrible. I am using Nero Essentials 7 with a Sony burner. I have tried many setting variations In PS3, MM2 and Nero but can't produce a quality finished movie. I have tried using the generic CODEC's in PS3 and MM2 as well as installing FFDshow using appropriate WMV CODEC's, which all fail. I have also tried Windows Encoder on the MM2 WMV. My movie plays fine (acceptable) in power point which I will present to an audience later this week and want to burn a bunch of DVDs to hand out. I just can't make it happen. I could use help please.
