The video I made in Live Movie Maker is too large to post on FB or You Tube. They suggested that I split it into 2. But the video edit will not let me use the split tool. It is shaded and unavailable, I guess. How can I access this tool?

Original title: Windows Live Movie Maker tool access denied.
I am trying to create a video using some footage I captured with my Canon PowerShot camera.  The footage is standard def (640 x 480), and the camera makes them into .MOV files.  I copied them to my computer using the memory card reader and imported them into Windows Live Movie Maker on a Windows 7 system.  They play fine in Windows Media Player, but when I bring them into Movie Maker, there is no sound at all.  Even if I make a movie with all of the files, still no sound.  The version of Movie Maker is 14.0.8091.0730 (obtained from the "Options" menu).
I see a lot of questions about this, but no answers, WLMM11 stopped video screen black, only sound, I cant figure this out. Please help!!
I transfered some movies from my JVC mini DV camera to my sony DVD burner and then put them on my HP windows 8 computer.  Windows live movie maker will open all of the titles except the fist one.  How come and how do I change that?

Also, some of the photos I've included in the movie have "smooshed", for lack of a better term.  Meaning they look shorter and squatier, and I'm sure my daughter, the bride, won't appreciate that. Most photos don't do that, just some.  Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm using a Windows 7 machine trying to create a  video in Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. I have working gifs that are saved to my computer, but when I import them they are just still images. Any idea how to make them move? All of the help I've found online is for the old version where you have the timeline at the bottom. 

Thanks!

hey,

 

I've spent a considerable amount of time on several movies using Windows live movie maker; now, when I want to save the project as a movie, the program begins the process, then stops and says "windows movie maker has stopped working." When I click "view details," this is what I get:

I'm not sure if this helps. I've been able to save my movies before (as in it was working earlier this week), now the program will not save at all. I've tried saving "for high definition display," "for computer," with no luck in any case.

 

Hi,

I'm having trouble with your windows live movie maker (version 2011).
I have been trying to save a movie I created, and I keep getting an error stating:
"sorry, your movie can't be saved. find any missing files or remove the unusable items from your project, and then try again"
error 0x80070057.

I can play the movie in the movie maker at most times, but sometimes i get an exclamation mark instead of some of my videos.
When I close and re-open the software, it fix the problem. 

I tried to read about that specific error, but got no helpful answers,
Hope you can help,
Tom.

I inserted an .AVI file (20 seconds long) into Windows Live Movie Maker and received this error-->The file might be corrupt or in a format that Movie Maker doesn't recognize. This movie can't be saved or publish until ******.avi is removed from the project.  Error 0x87160139.

 

Here is what I have tried to resolve this issue:

1. I have tried multiple .AVI files and .WMV files-->  YES, all have same error but they all play fine in Windows Media Player on this same Windows 7 (32-bit) machine which means the video files are not corrupted.

2. Installed K-Lite Codec pack.  YES, and still have same error.

3. Uninstalled & Reinstalled Windows Live Essentials. YES, and I still get the same error.

4. I also tried logging on as a local administrator just in case the software was trying to write to a part of the registry a user would not have access to and still got the same error.

 

My conclusion: This software is flaky and should be rewritten or at the very least give better error codes that explain what is wrong. I appreciate it comes for free but make sure software works before releasing it to the masses.

 

Does anyone from Microsoft (or elsewhere) have a clue what is wrong with Windows Live Movie Maker (16.4.3508.0205)?

 

After wasting 3-4 hours trying to get this flaky software to work I am at the point of recommending a video editing application that works like Ezvid.

 

Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!

I make short video clips for animal rescue and post them to petfinder.  I used another version of Windows Live Movie Maker that worked just fine.  Now the format is different and I can't save my videos the same.  They are MUCH larger and I can't control the size.  I don't know how to change it.  I am using Windows 7 on a Sony laptop.  I had a Windows 7 on a different laptop and it's DIFFERENT! :)  Now when I save my files I can choose to save them to Facebook like before, but also to a list for Recommended, Common, and Mobile Devices.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

As the title implies my problem is that every time I try to save a video project created with WLMM / WMM, during the save process my Computer shuts down totally.

 

I started using Windows Live Movie Maker Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3538.0513) about one week ago to create a simple slide show video comprising 11 photos in jpg-format (only 1.5 MB in total - for all 11 photos!) plus intro & outro and backing music (3.2 MB, wma-format). Creating the Project presented no problems - and is quite fun!  However every time I tried to save the video with the recommended (i.e. high quality) settings my Computer shut down! The shut down can happen at any progress point - even at 99% several times!

 

The only success I had in saving the Project was to save it in the "For Computer" setting (resulting file size 66.4 MB), however the much lower quality is simply not satisfactory!

 

Today (Monday 19th August 2013) I downloaded Windows Movie Maker Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205) but the Computer shut down problem is still there.

 

I am using Windows 7 Professional on a Toshiba Satellite PRO L770-12R Notebook with 8 GB RAM, Intel Core i5-2430 CPU @ 2.4GHz Processor, NVIDIA Geforce GT 525M Graphic Card, 698 GB hard disk space (219 of 349 GB free on C: and 335 of 349 GB free on D:), DirectX 10, 64 Bit.

 

I enjoy creating Projects using WMM and it offers exactly the features I need at this time but if I cannot save the video it makes no sense using the program further! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
