    - How do I add clips to an existing DVD? I film my kid's B-Ball games each week and burn them to a DVD. Is it possible to add a new game each week so that I would have the entire season on one DVD? Each game takes up about 5GB of data in its raw unedited format. Afgter I run it through Movie Maker it is a much more managable size but I cannot delete the original capture and still keep the smaller versoin for future burning. Can DVDs in Movie Maker not be "finalized" so that other clips can be added later? If not, what program do I need? Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63362

    - XP/Movie Maker After reading several posts, I've come to the conclusion that saving movies is a real problem with Movie Maker. I have the same problem. I can't save to hard disk, or e-mail or anywhere because it can't find the original file that the movie was imported from. But I'm saving to the same folder as the original import. Any thoughts.

    - Title overlays I am having trouble putting titles on my photos because no matter what color I pick for the letters it ends up matching the picture so you cannot see the words. I saw a video where the person had white letters with a black shadow around them, so they showed up against any background. Does anyone know what font I can use to get that effect, or what is a good way to have your titles show up on all pictures. Thanks -- Diabetes Dad Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63345

    - Find / Replace for pictures I am a super novice, but I was able to make a movie with still pictures, music and title overlays. I added transitions, and adjusted the length of the pictures to fit the music. It is for the JDRF Diabetes Walk for a Cure, and has pictures of my daughter. She has two diabetic friends that we want to use the same format, just plug in their pictures, keeping the transitions, titles and timing the same. But when I try to replace a picture, I end up having to add the new one, delete the old, and then adjust the timing. I am looking for a Find / Replace option that just switches photos.

    - mswmm "save movie" and nero audio issue Help-I edited and saved two "projects" then saved as a "movie"(s). I open nero "smartessentials" and create a dvd. I browse to "add video files." I add both wmv files. When I preview to either add chapters or just preview, the audio is corrupted. I successfully burn dvd's with MovieMaker using the exact same clips/files, and play them using mm, nero, and a plain dvd player. But if I try to put 1 or more files together using nero, the audio corrupts. I found "filter" options in mm, and I unchecked them (4 Nero filters listed) per mm instructions to supposedly resolve "conflicts" or "issues...". Resaved and imported...No luck. jd Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63339

    - DVD Authoring Next question, I do have Nero, I have text boxes set up to denote the next family in my DVD project and would like to put my chapters there, but the slider bar isn't stopping on my text boxes and the music I put in overlaps into the next families, can that cause a problem? Also, is there a way to move my project (at a later time) from Windows Movie Maker into Ulead Studio Pro? I had got Ulead after I had already done my project in WMM, would love to use that program and have been told it is a little more complicated than WMM.

    - Rendered Video Crop Cuts Off Top of Frame Hello, I am importing .avi format video 512x384 30fps into MovieMaker from a GoPro Hero3 camera. I have a clip in which most of the relevant detail is at the very top of the frame. Whenever I render to .wmv file (NTSC 4:3), the frame is cropped so that I lose the data I am trying to follow. I have tried no effects and also the Pixelan A1 Hold effect. Both have the same problem. I also tried most of the available output format options in MovieMaker (High Res Video, NTSC, etc.), all result in same crop/clip problem. Does anyone know why my rendered video is getting cropped so that the top ~5% of the frame is lost? Related question: Available output formats for NTSC 4:3 seem to support very small 160 pixels wide, small 320x240, larger 640x480, and 720x480. I am sure there are a few more options for PAL and 16:9. However, I cannot find a way to render to output 512x384 to match my input resolution. Is there a way to render 512x384 resolution? What is the standard way of dealing with this input format? - Thanks, David Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63313

    - Clips I have a family DVD I have done, is there a way to go in now and add numbers (clips -i assume is how it is termed) so that I can seperate the 10 families on this DVD, for example my great grandparents as Clip 1 and then my great uncles' family as clip 2 and so on, so that there is a number seperation, like when you are watching movie DVD's, so that if you wanted to skip to a particular family, you could do that?? -- becca Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63310

    - Can't save as a movie file OK, I am pretty adept at WMM. I got a newer computer to be able to handle the requirements of video editing etc. However, after a few months of success (also having converted analog to digital and edited it, movie maker will no longer allow me to save my projects (long OR short--and I mean even 2 minutes here) as an AVI-DV file. I refuse to save as anything else as I want to keep the quality (especially of my DV stuff). I have spent HOURS with MS support and am on level 3 at present but STILL they cannot figure out the problem. When I save as AVI-DV, it starts to save and the minutes count down, but then they stop and begin to count up to infinity if I'd let them. HELP!!! The whole reason I bought this new computer was so I could do these videos of family footage to give as Christmas presents. PLEASE help! Mr. Inzer---I've seen a lot of your replies and hope you have some ideas. And yes, I have Explorer 7 but have always had it on this machine even when MMaker was working fine.

Simply put I would like to trim my movie by removing portions. But the clip trimming seems to just allow me to keep the portion that I trim and not the opposite.

    - Can't import .MPG files anymore Many times I imported .MPG files from my Sony DSC-T9 photo camera in Movie Maker (version 5.1 build 2600.xpxp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300:ServicePack 2), vs. 2.1.4026.0). Suddenly it didn't work anymore. After selecting the .MPG file I get a message that an error occured and that Movie Maker shuts down. It also occurs with older .MPG files which I imported successfully in the past. I still can import .AVI files, but I don't like to convert all my .MPG files into .AVI files since this was not necessary in the past. I hope someone can help me.

    - Adjusting audio fade in/out durations I'm using Movie Maker 6.0 from my Vista.. I'm adjusting the audio on my video clips and music files to fade in and out but the time that the program takes to fade out a song from full volume to silence is very short - so short that it's not far from sounding like I'm not using the fade at all. I know I can adjust how long the video Fades are in the Transitions menu, but can I do this with audio fades? How can I adjust the fade length to be longer than what it sounds like (less than 1 second)? Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63256

    - Movie Maker keeps closing down Hi, as the title says my MM keeps closing down on me, I don't even get an error message when it happens. Ive restarted my comp, tried it again, same thing happens. I was gonna uninstall it to reinstall it again, but I cant find it in the remove programs list, so I tried to just reinstall over it, but still the same problem. It will let me on it for a few moments before it closes and I tried to view the codecs through WMM in case they where causing the problem, but for some reason I cant even get the option to do that anymore. I was going to do a system restore, but I have too many important documents on my computer to do that. Can someone please help me? Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63254

    - Shuts off without notice Hi! I'm in desperate need of some help here. Checked papaJohn's site but it all flew over my head, really. So if anyone could explain this to me in a way I can understand I'd be eternally grateful! Didn't have so much trouble with Movie Maker in the beginning, but starting a few months ago it crashed whenever I imported a too large file and cut out some scenes. Lately it'd freeze even if the imported file was a small one. Now it's started to shut down (without any notice of error) when saving the file as a film or mp3. It saves half-way, then shuts down. I really need some help with this! (And my english isn't too good neither, maybe that's why I can't really understand PapaJohn's site) Thanks, Psy Tag: movie maker for windows xp Tag: 63253
