This doesn't happen to me and never has. So you might have some sort of virus on your computer. Or you might need an update.
To add anything to Windows Movie Maker, you first have to Import the media into the program. Once you have imported it, drag it down into the Time-line or Storyboard.
Click on Import Media. Locate the audio/music file you wish to use. Import it. When it appears in the Imported Media viewing pane, drag it down into Music/Audio track in the Time-line view of Windows Movie Maker.
You can right-click on the file in Windows Movie Maker and select copy. Then, in Windows Movie Maker, paste it in the Imported Media pane.Or,Right-click on the file in Windows Media Player, scroll down to Open File Location, then import the media that way.
Sorry, but there is no Speed Up or Slow Down feature in Windows Live Movie Maker. That particular feature is available in the v2.1 and v2.6 Windows Movie Maker applications, but not in Windows Live Movie Maker.
There is no Narrate feature on Windows Live Movie Maker (which I presume you are using in Windows 7). You will have to use your Windows Sound Recorder to narrate or record voice on. Then import the file into Windows Live Movie Maker.In the 2.6 version of the program (the Vista version), there is a Narrate feature available. But, even that feature is rather persnickety. I always use sound recorder for voice.You can find your own Windows Sound Recorder under:> Start > All Programs > Accessories > Sound RecorderI had the same problem. Make sure you go into options and under webcam select the correct audio recording device.
How to import(insert) clips(media) into Windows Movie Maker:> Click File, and then click Import Media Items.> Navigate to the file you want to import, and then click Import.> You can import several files at one time. For consecutive files, click the first file in the list, press and hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the last file in the list. For files that are not consecutive, press and hold down the CTRL key, and then click each file that you want to import.
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.
Sorry, but there is no Speed Up or Slow Down feature in Windows Live Movie Maker. That particular feature is available in the v2.1 and v2.6 Windows Movie Maker applications, but not in Windows Live Movie Maker.
There are other programs that allow you to set pictures together in a frame, but Windows Live Movie Maker is not one of them. Try placing them side-by-side in an external photo editing program, then import it into Windows Live Movie Maker. That's the only way it will work. You have to remember, Windows Live Movie Maker is a stripped-down version of the v2.6 program. And even the full program can't do what you are asking.
Simply use the Import Media feature (on the Top Menu Bar). Locate and import music file compatible with Windows Movie Maker. Drag them down into the Audio/Music track in the Time-line view of the program. Press the Play button in the Preview pane to hear the results.
Yes, you can slow down a clip in Windows Movie Maker. Click on the option Slow Down, Half in the Effects menu.
Nope. Can't do that in Windows Live Movie Maker (for Windows 7). Windows Live is a stripped-down version of the Vista 2.6 Movie Maker. Not a lot of features or functionality with Windows Live version. Sorry.
