Video

I recorded a bunch of videos on my camera because i wanted to make a music video, and then i loaded them onto my computer and tried to place them in the imported files section and it says that the system can not find the file specified, even though the file is right in my folder marked "musicvideo vids".

Most cameras record in mp4. formats, however, Windows movie maker does not accept mp4.

To import a MP4 video or music into Windows Movie Maker, you need a tool to convert MP4 into a format that Windows Movie Maker can recognize ,and then import it to WMM. You can download WinFF, which is one of the best free video converters available. It is very easy to use and you can quickly convert your MP4 files to WMV, which is supported by Windows Movie Maker. The steps are as follows:
Step1. Add your MP4 files to WinFF.
Step2. Choose “Microsoft” as the format to convert to.
Step3. Make WMV2 Generic as the device preset.
Step4. Click “convert ” to start the file conversion.
After these four steps, you can get a file supported by Windows Movie Maker and enjoy making your home movie.

Or you can just turn to other better movie making software.such as DVD slideshow builder, Abode Premiere etc.

   Did you know that there are many different video file types and some have to be converted in order to use Windows Movie Maker?

   You can get complete instructions on how to make your native video files compatible with the Microsoft video editing program on the Microsoft website.

   This is also true for some video formats that cannot be directly edited using iMovie on Mac’s Apple has instructions for dealing with that too.
