Editing with Windows Movie Maker
Windows Movie Maker (WMM) is the editing software that I use to edit all of my videos. Windows movie maker is free and comes preinstalled on all windows operating systems. If you are currently using a windows operating system you can locate Windows Movie Maker by going to 'Start,' 'All Programs,' 'Accessories,' and then 'Windows Movie Maker.'
WMM is not a particularly advanced piece of software and it does not allow for very sophisticated special effects. However, for purposes of video marketing, WMM has all of the functionality you need and is also very, very easy to learn and use.
You can use WMM to add music, transitions, and credits to your videos. If you want to get carried away there are a few other things you can use WMM for as well. The only thing you really need to add to your videos are credits at the beginning and end of your video which is where you will place your URL.
To add credits to your video using WMM open up WMM and then select the .wmv version of your video. Then click on "Make Titles or Credits" in the left hand column under "Edit Movie." Select "Title at the Beginning" and later "credits at the end."
Type in a quick message as well as your URL into the space provided. Change the text and font to the color combination to the colors you desire. Next select "change title animation" and then select the animation that best fits your video. Repeat the process for the end credits.
Once your video is added to WMM your video will be displayed in several frames. To add these frames to the storyboard simply click on "edit" and "select all" and then right click and select "copy." Then right click the first frame of the storyboard and select "paste." The video frames will then appear in chronological order in your timeline.
After you have added your beginning and end credits to your video as well as pulled the different frames into the storyboard, you can then shorten the length of your credits. I do this because I think the standard credit length is just a bit longer than what most viewers want to see. To shorten the length of the credits click on "show timeline" in the space above the storyboard and then select the one of the credits. A line should appear in the frame you want to edit.
By moving this line to the left you can then shorten the frame length. The further you move the line to the left the shorter the frame will be. I usually shorten the credits to 2 seconds for the opening credits and 3 seconds for the end credits.
After you have finished editing your movie, click on "file" and then "save project." This will save the project in WMM format so you can come back later and edit the file as it. To save the file as an actual movie file select "file" and then "save movie file." This option will save the file in the original .wmv format, which is the version you will be uploading to the different video sites.
In the next section we will be looking at how to find a profitable niche market and exploit it with video marketing.

Try to do save it in smaller parts. Try first to split it up in two - if that's still a problem then try three and so on.
It can also be a problem with your links - try to look trough the frames in storyboard mode and see if there is anything marked with a big red cross.
When you have your two parts saved then import them into a new project and move them onto your storyboard and then save it.
Hope this helps
