WMM (Windows Movie Maker) is a very basic video editing software application with limited features.

While you can change the background on media in purchased video editing programs (like Magix Movie Edit Pro for example), you can't do that with WMM.

All edits for background images must be done prior to importing into WMM.

Here's how to add text on the back ground in WMM (windows movie maker):

With your media in the Time-line view of WMM...

> Click on Tools, Titles and Credits
> Choose where you want the text to appear (on clip, before or after it...)
> Enter the text in the space provided
(The preview will begin when you have finished typing)
> Change the text animation, font and color by clicking the appropriate links
> Click Add Title

The text will appear in the Title Overlay track in the time-line view of WMM. You can drag it along the time-line, extend or reduce its length, etc. If you wish to edit the Title Overlay again, simply double-click it on the time-line.

Audio compatible with Windows Movie Maker includes:

aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, .wma

Though all the audio formats (file name extensions) listed above are compatible with WMM, the most popular format is MP3. Ensure the audio you are attempting to import into the program is one of those listed above.

Then, locate and import the file. From the Imported Media pane, drag and drop the audio into the Audio/Music track in the time-line view. Click play in the Preview pane to hear results.

Windows Movie Maker (v2.6) can only record narration. Songs/background music have to be imported ready to place on the Audio/music track. Use external audio editing software to fine-tune your audio prior to importing it into the program.

Not sure what you mean by a backdrop... But, if you are looking for a background, you can either import your own graphic, or use Titles and Credits to create a background.

Import the media you wish to use as background. Drag it down into the video section of the Time-line. Stretch it out to the length of your lyrics.
