I am in Windows Movie Maker and want to narrate - there's no sound.

I hit the "record narration"  It "appears" to be working.  But when I hit playback, there is no sound.

Problem solved. It wasn't working in gmail so I used the default mail app and it worked..after hours of searching for a phantom solution.

    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.

  • I am trying to make a home movie and add itunes but it doesn't want to accept the m4 file type. I downloaded something I thought would help but no luck. I am using windows movie maker and need music. How do I convert my purchased music into a usable file?

    My movie program wont recognize the itunes format .m4a. Any suggestions? I downloaded a program to help convert it but didn't work.

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • 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).

  • Windows Vista Movie Maker and Itunes Music

    I am asking for help and apologize if I am in the wrong area - we just purchased a computer and I need some help - we have an HP that came w/ Windows Vista. I am trying to make a movie on Windows Movie Maker and tried to import a song from Itunes that I purchased and it keeps coming up w/ an error about my system not having the codec. I have no idea what this means and need to know if I am doing something wrong. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated-I am trying to make a movie w/ my all my daughters pictures-she will be 1 this month-I know TMI, sorry. Thank you again

    Well, there are two problems probably:
    1. I'm not sure if Windows Movie Maker can use AAC format files, and all of the files you download through iTunes are in AAC format.
    2. Even if Windows Movie Maker can use AAC format files (which I doubt it can), the AAC files through iTunes are DRM-encoded, which means they have copywrite protection which prevents their use outside of a specific set of iPods/iTunes.
    If you want to use that particular song in your movie, it would be best to either find a source that is not copy-protected to download it from (notice I didn't suggest downloading it illegally ;>), or ... you can buy a CD with that song on it, and then rip it to MP3 to import into Windows Movie Maker.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • No audio in windows movie maker

    I recorded some short video clips on my iPhone 5 and emailed the video files to myself. These files are .MOV as a default, so I individually went through each clip and saved it on Windows Live Movie Maker so that the video files would be .WMV instead. 
    Then I imported these .WMV files to my Windows Movie Maker and assembled the files the way I wanted it. However, when I play the videos, there is no audio.
    I have already tried going to Tools > Options > Compatibility > Restore All Defaults. I've also tried unchecking all the boxes above in order to change the video filter settings. There still isn't audio playing.
    I know it's not my computer's speaker's fault because when I add a music file in the project, the audio on that music file plays just fine.
    Would it be better to edit these video clips on an Apple device on iMovie?
    Please help!

    If a PC is your main choice, I would use a different software, not change the video to something different, and see if it works.
    If the main purpose is to put it on DVD, then DVDStyler works well.  If you want to play it on an iPad, then use an app on the iPad designed for that purpose.  What is the main goal for the final product of these videos?

  • Movie Created with Windows Movie Maker

    I created a movie of our recent vacation with Windows Movie Maker and I am now trying to get it on my iPod. Can someone tell me the best way to accomplish this.
    Thanks,

    I downloaded Handbrake, but I am having difficulty making it work.
    I also downloaded Videora, and I was actually able to get my movie into iTunes, but when I converted the movie in iTunes to transfer to my iPod, it lost sound.
    Any suggestions?

    I have made a short movie on windows movie maker and i would like to put it on my ipod classic but don't no how to do this can some one please advise me on how this can be done thanks

    First you must import it into iTunes.  From there, set it up to sync to your iPod via your iPod's Movies tab.  You may need to convert the file to a more friendly iTunes format first using a file conversion application such as Handbrake or MPEGStreamclip.

  • 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.

  • Converting quicktime movie to windows movie maker!

    Okay! So I have a project due tomorrow and me and some of my friends made a movie with my Kodak EasyShare camera. When we put it onto my computer, it saved itself as a QuickTime video. Following the transfer of the video onto my computer, I opened Windows Movie Maker and attempted to transfer the video clip onto the Movie Maker.
    The following message appeared:
    The file C:\Documents and Settings\Elizabeth\My Documents\My Pictures\Project Pic and Files Storage\100_1248.mov is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.
    How do I convert my video on QuickTime to be imported into Windows Movie Maker? All suggestions would be creatly appreciated! Thanks, Karlee.

    What I've done in the past is to covert the .mov to a .avi using QT pro, then movie maker was able to accept it.

  • I want to use finished animations in Windows Movie Maker

    I use Flash cs6 and I have finished my first animation and want to finish the whole video on Windows Media Player.
    - I have tried Publishing it in different files. Non are accepted in the program.
    - I have tried Exporting it in different files. Still non are accepted in the program.
    - And I have tried using video converters (so far they were pretty rubbish). The files aren't accepted by the converters.
    Please help, I wanted to finish this all before a week ago :/

    what do you mean by, "...finish the whole video in windows media player"?
    win media player only plays certain video file types (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-types-supported-media-center#1TC=windows-7) and flash can only export certain video file types, but i don't think you can do any editing in win media player.
    if you mean win movie maker (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq) like your title suggests, mov files are supported by both (win movie maker and flash) though you will probably need quicktime installed on your win system to use it.
