i have tried already several times to download my video file from my go pro camera. i was able to load one file but the other longer one does not load at all. it is 19:53 long it says that movie maker cannot support the file. but i cannot understand why not if it already loaded one of my other ones.   i have also tried looking up help  once the error message popped up and this is what came up:

How can I fix a file in Movie Maker?

A photo or video that you add in Movie Maker might appear with an error icon. This indicates that the photo or video can't currently be used in Movie Maker.

Here are some things to try to fix the issue:

  • Make sure the video and audio codec that is required to play the video is installed on your computer. For information about determining which codecs are used by a video file, and how to find and install missing codecs, see Codecs: frequently asked questions on the Windows website.

  • If a codec is missing, you might want to try to play the video file in Windows Media Player. For some types of video files, Windows Media Player can automatically download and install missing codecs. If the missing codec can be installed, you can then try to add the video file again in Movie Maker. For more information about the types of multimedia files that Windows Media Player supports, as well as additional information about finding codecs, see the article Information about the multimedia file types that Windows Media Player supports on the Microsoft website.

Hi,

I Would be grateful for any help please,  to sort out the following problem, thanks.

I am running Windows 7, I have plenty of disk space.

I have run Microsoft Fix It for codecs and everything is okay.

I have Movie Maker Version 2012 on my computer Build 16.4.3528.0331

The video is MP4 format it plays with both sound and video on the Windows Media Player

I have loaded into the Movie Maker, into a new project not yet saved, it shows as a complete clip with the frames of the video with the images. It is 'not' grey with the warning triangles. This is on the right hand side where the editing is done.

When I play what is there all I get is a black square in the Movie Maker viewer on the bottom left with no sound or video.

A quick response would be appreciated as it a promotional video for a sponsored charity event.

Hi,

I would appreciate any feedback or assistance with the following. I had made a few WMM movies that were working perfectly for 2-3 weeks, all of a sudden when I play them now, they glitch, or lag or freeze when playing them on any playback program ( Windows Media Player, Itunes, Quicktime etc.).

I tried re-publishing the movie and again, it just glitches, lags or freezes when playing the movies. I thought maybe it was a computer issue, although when I play other videos or movies - no issues.

Thanks for any feedback on this!

I am trying to load clips in movie maker from a gopro.  The clips will play in windows media player but the bigger clips will not make it past the preparing step in windows movie maker.  It shows that the file is corrupt and needs to be removed.  Is there a way to edit or shrink the video prior to using movie maker?  gopro software had the same issue.  If the files will play in windows media player why wont they work in editing software?

Thanks

Brian

Created a video and saved it in a .wlmp and a mp4 file format. I can not share via email or facebook, but I can open it in Windows media player. Reading in  this forum I have checked .Net Framework 4.5, have used the Fixt Tool. Have also followed suggestions  to use MedioInfo and  run codecs converters. MediaInfo was flagged as unsafe for my computer and because of the codecs convertor I now have an add-on from Jollywallet which I can not get un-installed.  Using Windows 7.

I have a new PC with VLC Video Lan version 2.1.3 and windows movie maker,both preinstalled on windows8.1 and I'm trying to teach myself to use it.

So far I've been successful.But,some of the tools on movie maker aren't functional! This is not good. Fade in, Fade out, and speed adjustment, windows are out, and can't be used.

How do I get them activated?

There could be more functions I'm missing because my exploring progress is in limbo.

And, the VLC program is useless. It won't play any music or video's. It doesn't do anything!

I had a hard time making windows media player the default player when I started using my new pc to hear music the first day.

Imagine someone not knowing how to use a program that is unfunctional in the first place made the default media player,while they're learning how to use a newer operating system they never tried before?

I've tried updating it and there are no updates for it.What were they thinking when they installed in on someone's new computer at the factory?

And I might add help topics weren't available for movie maker and some still are not available.

I found zero help topics on buttons that are faded out,in the software's help area.

hello  larry henry 

 i mean  i add mp3  music and pictures to make movie  in movie maker program  and when i open it by movie maker it works great sound with pictures, but when i save this project to  my computer desktop  i try to open it to play it , it open sound without shown any pictures why?  i try to open my movie by VLC and by windows media player and by media player classic cenema ,but it the same problem  it did not show any pictures only music just   why   ? please help me

First time using WLMM. Created a video, then saved using the "Recommended for this project" option under "Save movie" dropdown.  A .wmv file was created (very slowly, I might add, but maybe that's normal), which plays fine in Windows Media player.  But, I can't get it to load into WLMM so I can make updates. WLMM says the file is corrupted or in a format it doesn't recognize (even though WLMM is the app that created that file). So, two questions: 1) Did I do something wrong when I saved the file (if so, what should I have done)? and 2) is there any way to bring the .wmv file into WLMM so it can be edited?

OK, so I make a project with about twenty .JPG files and two .wav audio files. It lasts about four seconds. When I'm done I click "Save Movie" and I export it as a .wmv file. There are no error messages during editing or exporting. It says my movie has been saved successfully but when I try and watch it with Windows Media Player, it can't play the file and I get an error. I've also tried to save my movie as an .mp4 file, and I get the same error.

My OS is Windows 7 32-bit.
