Windows Vista: Windows Movie Maker Tutorial (WMM)

[JDKSEA]

What are you talking about? iTunes? MP3's? Isn't this a movie maker tutorial!? WOW

[Matikls]

Got a question: why does my wmm always think my videoclips are music?

[alicenwoundrlnd]

when you go to import media you had a whole list of things, in mine none of my videos came up and i have loads of them? i downloaded a converter but nothing is working.. how do i get them to show up?

[willguitar1000]

Woah! The first song... LONG TIME SINCE I HEARD IT

[warrenb1]

An excellent video; I highly recommend it!

[carlosexys]

omg ty

[kamil12373]

tnx

[isaac12191]

Although i do have a question, hopefully you know what i'm talking about, if you know how to or even if it's possible;

i'm getting some sort of "out line frame" around my videos ( somthing like widscreen NOT FULL SCREEN) but its not a horizontal frame like actual wide screen but a grey vertical frame, making my "rendered" or "converted" videos thinner; Do you KNOW weather or not, if you can make them full screen? and remove the frame? : im not talking about the preview screen either.?!?

[isaac12191]

#1 : You need to read a book to open your vocabulary, learn to speak propperly, choice of words, HOW to put a scentence together (in this case) for "veiwers" to understand what your really "doing" in the tutorial - think before you speak, what your going to say, talk about and think through weather or not its going to be helpful or relevent.

#2 : Be more spacific with the details, starting from the basics to more advanced skills, techneiques, and / or features...{ Just a tip for the future }

[jetrider11]

I know a good music converter that's virus free and it's a free download. of course they do have upgraded version where if you buy it you can do more stuff. But it's vdownloader. Also good for turning youtube video's audio into to itunes.

Happens all the time with different projects, really anoying since it seems to happen right in the middle of a project.

Do you have any ideas of what i could do to make this stop? Thank you!

3) go to file then publish movie when its done publishing it will be in your videos folder you can go to youtube and upload it fom your vieo folder.

i hope i helped thats all i really know how to do on WMM. if you have uestions you can ask me though.

[greenman480]

Or you should shut up and let him learn how to watch a video.

[monkeythemoop]

I have been able to import music from itunes

[THATxMAKEUPxCHICKx3]

[DavidNMelendez]

[Cloudforhire]

xoxo

[greenman480]

Do you want to import a mp4 song file?

[Cloudforhire]

@greenman480 yep yep

[greenman480]

Well if you don't have windows 7 then you have to convert it with a converter. Super converter is good, youll just have to find one :P

[AndthePrince]

ayy dude.. so the audio is on my timelinee.. buh when i play the time line the songg dont playy.. whats goin wrong there?

[greenman480]

Maybe raise the volume, i dunno.

[aLlEyCaTbEaSt4]

when i click on a video to import it says "no items match your search".When i imported sample videos it worked but it didnt work when i tried to do a video i made.can u please help me????

[greenman480]

You searching in the right place?

[aLlEyCaTbEaSt4]

what do you mean?

[greenman480]

Like when you import you have to search in the right folder, like documents or pictures or something.

[101swat101]

heyyy thanks so much lil man. you just saved my A** lol

[greenman480]

Haha no prob. And trust me im not a lil man, voice sounds idiotic in the video.

[xRebelxPrincessx]

I want to set my ending credits to Credits: Video Left, but I can't find out how to add the video clips to it. I've been playing around with it for the past half-hour, I'm stumped. Do you have an idea how to do it? =(

[greenman480]

No sorry.

[x3MiaKitteh]

Hi. Just wondering whether this works on W7?

[greenman480]

Well it looks different and all. I guess so.

[SMG4LIFE01]

yo when i finish making and then when i watch the movie on windows media player there is so be green thing at the bottom of the screen can u plz help me

[greenman480]

Duno. Did you click publish?

[Takemeout15]

hey i have a question about the title and credits, how/can you change the backround of it?

[greenman480]

You prob just have to get a video clip, and use an effect on that.

[greenman480]

I sound so stupid. :(

[mattmanmkb]

i sound so stupid on my talking video too.

[mattmanmkb]

Woah dude. You like vista, gutiar hero and runescape. ME TOO!

[greenman480]

Cool.

[curty247]

how do you change the file for it:/ mine is like MSWMM or something....

this is the exact same movie maker i use. It doesn't give me an option to change the file when i save it and it only lets me save as a project.

[greenman480]

Dude, watch the video. You gotta click publish and then choose your settings. Dont be dumb and just comment without watching the video.

[curty247]

see i didn't think the publish thing would change the file. Sorry about that i did get it working eventually.

I'am new to the whole computer thing excluding anything gamer

[greenman480]

Alright.

[mantisolivares]

dude are there special codecs so that te wmm can read .avi files?

cus mine reads .wmv and .mp4 and some other one, but the one i need the most is .avi

thanx

[greenman480]

WMM can read all of those. Youll need a converter to convert whatever you need to convert.

[pie4all]

mine is rly messed up when i go to load a video onto it it says theres no videos so i close the windows go to my videos and there all there!

[greenman480]

Are you checking in the right spot? Or check the file types. If your looking for an mp3 file hit audio and video so it searches for mp3 files. Or a video file. Dude, watch the video..

[ziggypop79]

I have an mp3 format music file & i put it in the timeline but it still wont play back the sound? any ideas?

[greenman480]

Only idea is that its soft sound or the file is corrupted.

[Matej8700]

when i calculate 50% of my video

what i must do then

[greenman480]

calculate 48 percent. then view that time period on the timeline. At that time, the video probably lagged or froze. Delete that freezing part. If this doesnt work then probably your wmm is corrupted or something.

[Matej8700]

i need help,when i click on publish on

computer then loads file to 48%

and then stop and then is nothing happening

[greenman480]

Ok, this happened to me once. What you need to do is calculate the length of the clip or clips all together. Let's say it was like 3:01 minutes. 50 percent of that is around 1 min and 31 seconds, so since you have 48 percent in that case then get a calculator and calculate half the time from your video.(or 48%) That exact time is where the video probably froze or the clip like lagged, so you have to take out that one frozen spot or time. Other than that I dunno. Hope it helped..

Greenman480

[sunhouse76]

dude i need help. every time i upload a clip or film to movie maker its all fast my voice or the adio should i say is fine but the film is all fast and it ends really quickly. what the hell do i do. please help me. im in the uk. the cam i have is a kodak easy share and i can choose between pal or ntsc format. but iv tryed oltering that but it didnt work. please help

thanks sunhouse

[greenman480]

Use effects and slow it down..

[travelxo]

okay, first of all, where is the audio slot?

and files imported? you mean go to files ---> then import to collections?

and how do i PUBLISH?

thanks... like i said i've got no idea what to do .

[greenman480]

Like where the audio goes, on the timeline, right under video. Yeah if you're adding a video file then you click on like import video from collections or whatever.

[travelxo]

heyy, green man i have a REALLLY urgent question that i havent been able to figure out...

i put like 6 songs together on windows movie maker, and it's great but i want to put it on my itunes. however, i'm no computer expert so i didnt think about the whole different type of file stuff....

can you PLEASE reply and tell me, how CAN I CONVERT IT TO MP3? if you can help, that'd be great :)

[greenman480]

Umm well drag the files imported on wmm and stick them in the audio slot. Then publish it and it should publish as a music file, like wma. iTunes i think accepts wma. Or when you publish the video on wmm you MIGHT be able to change the file type to mp3. Then go to itunes, hit file, import, and import the file made on wmm.

[XMaGeDo]

thanks anyway ^^

[XMaGeDo]

no,like in the video you drag the video directly to the timeline and it did work ,but mine when i drag the video to the video sectionin the timeline it will go to the audio...i dunno

[greenman480]

I know.. neither do I..

[XMaGeDo]

I couldn't drag the video into the video section i dont know why?

it will go directly to the audio section

[greenman480]

Whats the file?

[greenman480]

K if it's AVI then dunno.. should work, so maybe convert to wmv but that's mainly all you can do.

[mrcrazyzebra123]

how do you get mp4 videos imported?

[greenman480]

Gotta convert..

[Ronaldo4everXD]

how do you cut your video into diff. parts?

[Ronaldo4everXD]

ok i got it...

[greenman480]

Ok..

[bryanabril]

how would you put lyrics for music

[greenman480]

Get the music playing in the background, then put text for the lyrics. Watch a couple lyric vids you'll see what to do.

[MrFunnyRS]

can you mute a part of the video so like 5 seconds of the clip????

[greenman480]

Click on the vid, click clip(on the top),then go to volume and click the mute box.

[sweetnicole053]

good video :)

[MrFishycracker]

can u mute video clips

[greenman480]

Yes.. you click on the video clip, click on clip, click on audio and mute it or choose what volume you want it to be.

[Mr604bourne123]

another found treasure

[halo3noobguy]

i have a problem.

what happened was I was make a video to put on youtube I was importing a video clip and it shown as a music clip can you help me with this problem?

[greenman480]

Don't drag it into the music slot, drag it into the timeline, for video, not audio. Please don't comment without watching it first, and send me a message, don't comment.

[gnomwwe]

THX MAN

5/5*

:D

[zZNateZz]

it wont let me put music on

[greenman480]

.... Please review the video, it must be mp3, wma, etc. Not another type.

[TheManWhoVlogs]

For some reason, when i click publish video, it always says: Windows Movie Maker has stopped working.

[greenman480]

Something is probably wrong with your WMM or computer.

[dabestgamehalo3]

Thats the same thing thats wrong with mine

[fabregas308]

how do you take parts off the video?

[greenman480]

Highlight the video you would like to delete, and click delete.

[greenman480]

Yes, you click on the video, when it's highlighted, click clip, then click mute audio.

[Shadowmov3r]

How can I add a picture IN the actualy video?, I mean not like a picture just shows up, but I mean in the actuall video, for example I add to my video a picture of a dog. But I want it to appear while I'm doing someting, how can I do that.

[greenman480]

When you publish the video, you can't add a picture. If you mean when you're editing it, click on pictures and drag a pic on the timeline. If you want a picture and a video at the same time, drag the picture into the video from the timeline.

[Shadowmov3r]

Thanks, it worked :)

[xAZZA94x]

ye i no how

[Jackot08]

dont use hypercam

[oldgregrocksmysox]

right i went on itunes preferences and its completely different to that :s

[greenman480]

Because this was an old version of Itunes. Just click on the one that seems as similar to the verison I had at that time.

[howkemon6559]

[burtonkidd]

Drah it to your desktop then drag in into WMM!

[LOZFangirl12]

How come when I import my song it's really long (about 8 minutes I think?) and when I try to shorten it to it's original time thing it doesn't play the entire song...

[greenman480]

[Khayotica]

[raiderrc64]

[Ayumi90123]

hey can u tell me..when i add a vid wit sound..i tried putting music whit it..but every time i play..i can everytime hear the videos sound..can u tell me how to shut the video voice?

[greenman480]

ok the only way to do that is to click on that video, click clip, click audio, click volume, and turn it down how much you want.

[Ayumi90123]

hey thx..

[RachentProductions]

when i try to import a video to WMM a pop-up says file not found, check file name and try again

[greenman480]

then the file was probably deleted in your documents or whatever.
