I want to trim music ONLY but the new WMM does not allow it! >.< Or am I doing something wrong here?

The older one was much more user friendly. The new version sucks!

@Shaiya366 You can edit the music track itself that you import to the storyboard, but any video that has background music, you can't really edit them seperately since they're tied together.

It didnt help me how to split cause in my window. i have a session going on with music and text already.. so all i want to do is split this damn video and it wont be available to click when im playing the video.. i dont know what to do help pleaase and thanks

[PoiMage]

@19brendon19 If you're talking about spliting the video clip while playing it, it works for me. Probably because I'm using the latest and final version of Live Movie Maker. It may not be possible if you're using the beta version so it's best to get the latest version from Windows Update or from the Windows Live site.

help me i want to share to youtube and it says error (0X33472875) or something like that. WHY!?!?!?!?

[PoiMage]

@MrViele83 You'll need to install the final version of Live Movie maker from either Windows Update or from the Windows Live website - the Youtube share option doesn't work well if you're using the Beta version. Hope this works.
