Prev: Cannot Save movie
Next: I am unable to capture VHS tapes
From: ChrisJ on 26 Mar 2010 16:23
I imported a couple of tif files into Windows Movie Maker and dragged them to
the timeline. I stretched them out over 20 seconds and added some
text/titles.
Then I saved it to my computer. It saved as a .wmv file.
But when I select it to play (in Windows media player) a box pops up and
states:

......Not a valid Windows Movie Maker Project file.....

Can you tell me why/help me?
Thanks

Have a look at this how to create an amazing video from a single still
photo.

========================================
5.1 would be your Windows XP version...2.1 would
be your Movie maker version.

Just wondering...what's wrong with PhotoStory 3?

Ok...are you positive that you are saving in the WMV
movie format and not the .mswmm project file format?

Try the following steps to save your movie:

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

Now you will have a WMV file that should play in
Windows Media Player.
