Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Has anyone worked with Windows Movie Maker? I'm having some problems and if anyone can help me I'd sure appreciate it. I'm not having much luck getting microsoft's help without paying big bucks. Thanks. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

keyholes Registered: 09/08/06 Posts: 178 Loc: Ohio the heart of it all	Dee, I've used it but it's been such a long time ago. Seems to me it's a rather buggy program. Not sure what you're attempting to do (digitize old VCR tapes, or making a film from some Powerpoint slides, making an instructional thing??) I do some of online movie-like instructional materials for technical education as part of my work as a tech comm writer/editor. But I now use Adobe's Captivate. You can drop me a PM and I can try to help you.

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Funny you should post this Dee. I am having problems with the Movie Maker as well. Now I loaded my video on Quick Time, and that works. You can download Quick Time for free. Other than that I use the Majix program, which I just love. You can be soooo creative.

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	If you look at my myspace page you'll see two videos I made on my computer using movie maker. I found a movie maker web site where computer geeks will answer questions about movie maker...I was shocked to see how many problems surround movie maker. Edelweiss...I've never taken video and tried to use it...I have been using photo's that I download from a file and insert them into the movie maker film slots...I absolutely love this program but cannot for the life of me figure out why I'm having this one problem. UGH!!! JJ...I was surprised, too, to find out about the MM. My step-son showed me two years ago how to use it and I've been hooked ever since. Keyhole...thanks sweetie...I will PM you. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

keyholes Registered: 09/08/06 Posts: 178 Loc: Ohio the heart of it all	I replied. I truly have heartburn with several of Mickeysoft's products and I AM one of THOSE geeks...arghghgh!! LOL Dee, I had to edit. I just jumped over to your Myspace. Your movie looks great (I'm thinking it's the one with the church?) I never took the time to build a blog or something like that, although I have a LinkedIn profile/page. I guess I never thought the life of a single tech writer was too interesting. Also I loved the picture of the cat with the helmet LOL...I feel like that cat many many days at work LOL. Edited by keyholes (07/18/08 12:09 AM)

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	keyhole you are one of those geeks?!That's great! Maybe you can answer a question for me too! I have a slide show that I would love to post on my homepage. It is large because it's 12 minutes long, and the pictures are big. Because of all the effects it has about 600 GB. How can I diminish the size? (Sorry I don't know the technical words in English). I'm gonna check out your blog now Dee.

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	EW, I have made several slide show movies with Movie Maker. I like it, but I did have a problem when making a longer show. The short ones were fine, but I did a family one that is about 18 minutes and the show itself is fine when I play it back on the pc. It was transferring it to a DVD that I had the problem with. I also used Photostory and liked that one. My pc has a media center. I used to make my shows with that. _________________________ Author - Publisher www.carouselkisses.blogspot.com www.therehalworld.blogspot.com www.luvs2write.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	keyholes, a little off topic, but I loved the photos of your camping trip. I don't blame you for not naming kids online. My youngest is 19 and I'm finally cool with posting their photos online. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

keyholes Registered: 09/08/06 Posts: 178 Loc: Ohio the heart of it all	Maybe try compressing the pictures so that they aren't so high-res? I have a cheap little tool called Snag-it that I can open pictures with and compress the file size. I think it cost me less than $40. If you do a lot of this, it may be worth it. Snag-it is a screen capture tool, but it will open photos. Unfortunately, picture files can get really big. I get a lot of photos or pictures that I take that are high-res off cameras. We usually like them high-res because they aren't so "grainy" but that comes at the price of them eating up a lot of memory/space.
