Transfer of Video from Windows Movie Maker to PE7

Hi,
I put together my first video using Windows Movie Maker, and the audio tracks are wma files. I just got Premiere Elements 7 and want to transfer the video to it from Movie Maker, but I understand that in PE7 audio files should be either mp3 or wav.
Is there a way to make the transfer so that I'll be able to burn the video to DVD after getting it into PE7?
Thanks!

Why not export from Windows MovieMaker as DV-AVI.... (See this FAQ on exportinmg from WMM as DV-AVI http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0) then bring this into PE7. Note sometimes you can have audio issues with the type 1 DV-AVI that WMM produces. In this case use the free DVDate (http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm) to convert the type 1 to type 2... it is very fast and lossless.

    Part 1: How to import .mod video to Windows Movie Maker
    Step 1: Load files
    First copy the MOD file from your video camera to your hard drive, then download, install and run MOD Converter, click the "Add Files" button to browse your computer hard disc and load the MOD/TOD video files you want to convert to the program. 
    Step 2: Output Setting
    In the bottom of the main interface, select an output format supported by Windows Movie Maker for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files. 
    Step 3: Start convert
    Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion. 
    Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
    Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections". 
    Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
    Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions. 
     Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips. 
    Step 2: Add titles and credits
    If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits. 
    Step 3: Add Music
    In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music. 
     In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing. 
    Step 4: Add narration
    If you have a desktop computer, connect a microphone. Microphones are available from most electronics stores. If you have a portable computer, you can use the built-in microphone. However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume. 
    Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer. 
     The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
    Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker.   Can anyone tell me how to do that?

    Does anyone know if that is possible to do?   If so, would you please tell me how to do that? 

    Hello, a1p2r3. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.

    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

  • IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

    I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
    But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
    Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

    You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.
    * As always, exercise caution when using Shareware. So far my own experience has been good.

  • Can Encore 2.0 import file from Windows Movie Maker?

    I have just purchased and installed Encore 2.0, so I am a true novice. I have a few movies I created using Windows Movie Maker and wanted to import them into Encore 2.0; however, when I try to do so I get a message telling me that "the software used to decode is not available on this system." Is there away for me to fix this problem, or is Encore not capable of importing these files?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    Actually, Encore does support WMV files. I just imported an AVI into Movie Maker and exported it as a WMV file at the default settings and it imported fine into Encore.
    Apparently there's something about the WMV files in question that Encore doesn't like, however. From the error message I'd suspect that the codec used to export the file is missing. Is the system you're running Encore on the same system you used to export from Movie Maker? If not, you might want to try loading your Movie Maker project files onto the same system and re-exporting them. Also double-check that the settings for the exported movie correspond to a legal video format (although you'd probably get a different error message if that was the cause).

    The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle.  You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
    Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place.  Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
    Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

  • How do you get music from your Itunes to your computer? im making a wedding video on windows movie maker but cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my ipod and onto my pc.

    Im making a wedding video and cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my itunes and onto my computer.. Im using the windows movie maker

    Marian,
    Let's be clear on one thing here. The manual setting is an iPod setting, not an iTunes one. So, once you've set it to manual (and you appear to have done that correctly), then you can connect it to any number of computers without changing that setting.
    "The grey thing occurs on one pc only"
    This is the thing that I don't understand, if your iPod is set to manual, then it shouldn't happen on any computer. If you connect the iPod that is set to manual to this pc, and then click on it in the source listing, then you would be looking at the songs on the iPod, and they should not be greyed out. When you connect to the "other pc" under these same circumstances, they are not greyed out?

  • Will my internal dvd burn a video from windows dvd maker and if so how ?

      I have checked and all of my updates appear to be current as of yesterday 3-16-12

    Yes you can run programs from a differnt drive. All you have to do is download that prgram to that drve same as you would to the c:drive by defualt we will have to reload everything as if you never had itunes.
    1 make a folder on your drive called itunes.
    2 go to the website and get the itune ( click on the download link and when it ask to run or save click save and tell it where to save.
    3. After save is complete click on the install app. it will default to install to you c drive. Change this to your desired drive and folder. (this will install it on that drive and folder.) then you will have to make a shortcut to open Itunes.
    4 If you more than one pc configure in the same order and # of drive you will be able to run this drve from any pc.
    I do this with alot of programs at work from a 4gb penn drive to get around the firewall and admin rites. (I.T. department)

  • Import songs from iTunes into  Windows Movie Maker

    I have found it difficult to use my songs in any other application. I'm creating videos using Windows Movie Maker (Vista) and when I go to import the songs aren't showing up in the iTunes Music folder. I also downloaded the files into an external drive. When I opened the external drive separate the songs were there. When I was in Windows Movie Maker and went to import the files weren't there. Any suggestions on how to use songs from iTunes. I feel as though I've purchased them and can't use them anywhere else other than on my iPod and computer.

    If they are protected files, that's correct. You can only use them on iPods, authorized computers and Apple TVs.

  • Where can i find Windows Movie Maker transitions/plugins?

    I've been making a video with Windows Movie Maker, i had everything laid out and ready to go, except i had issues tweaking the transition time, i was just not happy with it.
    So I've decided to try out Premiere Pro, but the transitions i want to use from WMM are (obviously) not found in Premiere Pro, infact I'm actually disappointed in the ones that are available.
    How might i use the WMM transitions? I've read about plugins, are there some similar or identical transitions to the ones found in WMM?

    Google plugins ...and buy what you need that are compatible with whatever NLE you use.
