The reason some of your clips are blacked out is because they are not in the format required by the WMM (Windows Movie Maker) program. Audio cannot be imported if it is not in the correct format either.

You can only import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

  • Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

  • Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

  • Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf

If your clip/audio does not contain one of the extensions above, you will need to convert it to one of them before it can be imported. Free video/audio converters are available online. Simply Google: Free video/audio converters.

Once you have a converter downloaded to your computer, follow the conversion instructions making sure your 'output source' is one of those listed above. When the file is converted, you will be able to import and edit it in WMM.
