You can't do that with Windows Movie Maker. The program is very basic with limited features.
You can however, take a picture from a video with the 'Take Picture from Preview' feature in the 2.6 version of the program.
All video editing has to be done externally, before importing it into Windows Movie Maker. You can't edit at all in the program. So, the video has to be changed to black and white prior to importation.
The easiest way, or at least what I do, is open paint and bucket in whatever colour you want for your background for your black slide, save, and import.
You can't edit in Windows Movie Maker. You have to use an external program to get rid of the black areas you don't want prior to importing the media.
None to my knowledge. But you can just add an effect to make it black and white like in windows movie maker or sony vegas.
The video portion is not in the correct format for Windows Movie Maker. Check the format (right-click and choose Properties) of the video used in the project. It has to be formatted in one of the following file name extensions:asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv
There could be a number of reasons that is happening. But the most likely reason is that the video file is corrupt. I suggest downloading the file again from a different source. Try playing the newly downloaded file in its entirety to ensure it works.It is also possible that your Windows Movie Maker program may need to be updated. Make sure Automatic Updates are enabled on your system. This will ensure Windows products obtain updates, fixes, patches, etc, automatically.If you are still having difficulty with the Windows Movie Maker program, perhaps you might consider uninstalling and reinstalling the program again.

You will need to import a 'black background' and place it on the time-line before your video (and while your intro plays). There's no other way to do it.
if it won't come on and if the video is black, it needs to load. you can see how much progress it has made at the bottom. the newer version of windows movie maker is easier to tell, but i dont know about the other ones. if it is loading still the loading bar is neon green at the bottom. so it needs to load or you need to try again.
Censor? As in black out, mute portions?You can't black out parts of the video you don't like, but you can use the Split feature to remove them. And you can Mute the video if there is wording you don't care for. But, that's the most you can do to censor anything in Windows Movie Maker.
You can't view in Full Screen mode in Windows Live Movie Maker. That feature is available in Windows Movie Maker v2.6 and earlier versions, but not in Windows Live Movie Maker.______________________________________________________________In the 'Project' tab on the top of the window, click in 16:9 aspect ratioten Just save your movie in which ever format you would like and it will render the video so it can be viewed in Full-Screen. :)_______________________________________________________________Hi, new answer. When you get to the windows live movie maker movie editor, there will be a bar that goes up and down next to the video. The farther you drag out, the bigger the video is. Also, you can publish to your computer and watch it from the finished file. The bar should be in between the drag photos and videos here and the video itself. The max screen is when you publish it though. I'm not a computer nerd or anything, but I !UPDATE:Hmmmm. I believe the question was regarding 'full screen'function in Windows Live Movie Maker. The 'bar' the answerer above is refering to only increases the viewing pane to its maximum output... which is not 'True Fullscreen"In WLMM, you can increase/decrease the size of media thumbnails and viewing area, but not in the same manner as in the v2.6 version. In the earlier version, when you activate the full-screen mode, the entire project fits the screen - without the inclusion of the imported media pane (thumbnails) or program ribbon.So. if you are wondering if you can get a 'True' fullscreen view in Windows Live Movie Maker, you can't. Even if you move the bar completely one way or the other, the media pane and Edit Ribbon will still be visible.ANOTHER UPDATE:If you're talking about editing a widescreen movie and the final movie has black all around the video, change the aspect ration in Project tab, Aspect Ratio to match the Widescreen. Then when you save the movie, the black around the video will be gone. Hope this helps...
You can't speed up (or slow down) video on Windows Live Movie Maker.That option is only available on the 2.6 version of the program unfortunately. Windows Live Movie Maker is a stripped-down version of 2.6 and is extremely limited in features and function.
If your video is "blacked out" after publishing in Windows Movie Maker, either the video format was unsupported, or there is a problem with some of your video filters. Read the following:Unfortunately, not all of the video and audio filters that are installed by other programs are compatible with Windows Movie Maker. This can cause problems when you're importing video and audio, previewing audio and video on the storyboard/timeline, or publishing a movie.The symptoms of problems with video and audio filters vary in Windows Movie Maker. Some possible issues with video filters can include:Video appearing upside down or distorted when you preview it from the storyboard/timeline.Video displaying black with no audio.Audio playing back quickly and distorted.Problems when you try to add transitions, effects, or titles.If you are having problems that could be associated with video and audio filters not installed by Windows Movie Maker, you can try to turn video filters off in Windows Movie Maker.Turning off the video and audio filters only affects how they are used (or, in this case, not used) in Windows Movie Maker, so they can still be used by other video and audio programs.To turn filters on or off or to restore the default list of filters, do the following:Click Tools, and then click Options.Click the Compatibility tab.Do one of the following:To turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the video filter name.To turn on a filter, select the check box next to the video filter name.To restore the default list, click Restore All Defaults.When you restore the default settings, the list and settings for the filters are reset to the last known good setting.
