Those bright red X's on media in your Windows Movie Maker project means the program can no longer locate the original source files used to create the project.
Until you Finish/Publish a video in Windows Movie Maker, DO NOT CHANGE/MOVE/DELETE the files. Altering files used in projects prior to publishing/finishing will result in red X's in place of media.
If you see red X's on media, you will need to relocate the original files and re-import them into the project again.

Windows 7 Movie Maker is actually Windows Live Movie Maker which is a stripped-down version of Windows Movie Maker 2.6. It does not have all the features and functionality of the 2.6 version... including a Timeline.
Yes. Windows Movie Maker has a video Overlay. It is located in the Timeline view only though.
Click on the Storyboard view.
You can't do that in Windows Movie Maker, Live Movie Maker or any other version.
Sorry. You can't do that on Windows Live Movie Maker.
First you must upload your videos to the computer. Then go on to windows movie maker and click import media. It should then be dropped in the timeline.
You can use both video and photographs from a camcorder on Windows Movie Maker.

The way I know how to do it is... You have to have windows and you need Windows Movie Maker. You find some pictures and save them in a folder. You open Windows movie maker and import the pictures. You can add titles to them and then you can mess around with the sound and stuff.
Open up the program. Import pictures, video and music you want to use in your project. Drag them into the Timeline. Click play. Add effects and transitions. Publish.
