How do you get narration in windows movie maker?

Answer 1

You can't add Narration in Windows Live Movie Maker because the feature is not available in that version yet. Only v2.6 (and v2.1, I believe) have the Narration feature...But not Windows Movie Maker.

Answer 2

Wonderful Wanda says:You can make your movie more personal by describing in your own words what happens in your movie. The following steps describe how to add narration to your movie.

If the Storyboard view is visible, click View, and then click Time-line.

Move the playback indicator, which appears as a square with a vertical line below it, to a point on the time-line where the Audio/Music track is empty, and where you want to begin your narration.

Click Tools, and then click Narrate Time-line.

If Show options is visible, click it.

To prevent any audio from playing over your speakers while you record your narration, select the Mute speakers check box. This helps to keep unwanted audio or echoes out of your narration.

Under Audio device, click the audio capture device that you want to use. This option is available only for analog devices, and the audio device will usually be the name of the sound card that is installed on your computer.

To adjust the recording level of your narration, speak into your recording device and move the Input level slider to a place on the meter that registers your voice at the volume you want. You'll probably want the slider toward the upper part of the meter, but below the red-colored area.

Click Start Narration and begin to narrate the contents of the time-line.

When you finish your narration, click Stop Narration.

In the File name box, type a file name for your narration, and then click Save.

Click Close.

Windows Movie Maker automatically imports your narration into the current collection and puts it on the time-line at the point on the Audio/Music track where you first began to narrate. Windows Movie Maker saves the file with a .wma (Windows Media Audio) file name extension to the folder you choose.

Note:

If you are having trouble using the integrated Narrate feature in WMM (windows movie maker) try recording your narration on Windows Sound Recorder (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Sound Recorder).

Import your Sound Recorder narration into WMM and drop it into the desired spot on the time-line. Voila!

Answer 3

Narrations in WMM (windows movie maker) can be deleted by right-clicking and choosing Remove or Cut.
