Windows Movie Maker problem with adding audio to the timeline?

I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I have the same problem when I try to load a clip. People have told me to download Movie Maker again, but I can't make it work properly. If you can, try that.

Look on your receipt/invoice for the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up and look, etc. \n\nThere are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have, but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will recommend you try two different ones: \n\n EVEREST Home Edition \n http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en&pageid=3 \n\n Belarc Advisor \n http://belarc.com/free_download.html \n\nOnce you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card... \n\n NVidia Video Card Drivers \n http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp \n\n ATI Video Card Drivers \n http://www.atitech.com/support/driver.html \n\n Creative Labs Sound Device \n http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ \n\n C-Media Sound Device \n http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_download_01.htm \n\nGood luck! \n\n-- \n<- Shenan ->\n-- \nThe information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for\nyourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately\nresponsible for your actions/problems/solutions.

you might have an older version of windows media player and might have to download a newer one- that happened to me, but now I can watch my videos, yay!! :)

If anything you could try recording the video only then using windows movie maker or adobe premiere and record the naration. This is most likely happening because your video card or processor are too slow to encode the video at the same speed of the sound.

I see what you want to do. I should say, however, that this is not my speciality. \n\nI would say that just chopping out 3/4 of the frames would lead to a somewhat jerky video - more like an overfast slide show than a speeded up sunset!\n\nHave you got the free tool, Windows Movie Maker? Here's what it says on the web page:\n\nDoes your video seem to drag? If so, you might want to speed up the action to make it a little more exciting. With the Speed Up, Double video effect, Windows Movie Maker 2 for Windows XP enables you to easily pick up the pace for specific video clips. Here's how:\n\n1. Add the video clip you want to speed up to the storyboard/timeline.\n\n2. In the Video Effects folder, choose the Speed Up, Double effect, and then drag it to the video clip. If you started with a 30-minute video clip, it now plays in 15 minutes.\n\n3. To speed up the clip even more, drag the Speed Up, Double effect to the same video clip again. For example, the video clip would then play in about 7.5 minutes rather than 15 minutes.\n\n4. Continue adding the Speed Up, Double effect until the video is the desired speed.\n\nYou can also slow video clips down. To do that, just add the Slow Down, Half video effect one or more times.\n\nIt seems that there ARE some things that Microsoft are generous about :)

These directions will work for PowerPoint 2002 (XP) and 2003. If you have an earlier version, please clarify the question so you can get the right information.\n\n1. Select Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sounds from File (or Sounds from Clip Organizer if you don't have a sound file to use).\n2. Browse to the folder where your song is. Select it and click OK. (If you're using something from the clip organizer, select it there.)\n3. A message will come up asking if you want to play the sound automatically. Click yes (unless you don't want it to start immediately at the beginning, in which case, click no).\n4. Right click on the sound (it looks like a blue speaker) and select Custom Animation.\n5. In the Task Pane, you'll see your song listed (and any other objects you have animated). Click the drop-down arrow for your song and select Effect Options.\n6. Under Stop Playing, select After ___ slides. Change the number of slides to the total number of slides in your presentation. Click OK.\n\nThat should do it. Good luck!

If you want to know how to set the length of each photo clip: all you have to do is drag the start or stop time of each clip in the timeline to the desired length.\n\nIf you want to know how to set the default length of each photo you drag into the timeline: in Windows Movie Maker, simply click on the 'View' menu at the top of the screen --> click 'Options...' --> under 'General' there is a box labeled 'Default imported photo duration (seconds):'; you can set it anywhere from 1 to 60 (the default is 5).\n\nIf you want a blank screen for a period of time between each picture: although I don't know of any feature in Windows Movie Maker that allows you to do this, you could easily create a black (or any other color) picture using MS Paint, save it, import it into WMM, and drag it between your existing pictures. You may want to size the height and width of the picture you create to the same size as the other pictures in your slideshow--the pictures in the slide show may look stretched if you don’t, depending on how WMM handles it. If you want uniform pauses between pictures (that aren't 5 seconds) without manually resizing the duration of them, use the instructions above for setting the default length of each photo.\n\nI hope this answer contains the information you are looking for--if not, please add additional details and I will see if I can help you out.

Your video feed is out of sync with your audio feed. \n\nI'm not sure what player you use, but Media Player Classic has the option of synching sound to video. You could try that.

I really would recommend windows movie maker just because it's already one your computer if you have windows xp. You get into the program and then file - Import Into Collections. Then if they are all in a folder you can browse for the folder and select all the pictures you want to import you can import them. Then you can select how short you want it by going  tools - options - and selection how short you want the picture frame rate to be. Then you can select all the pictures you want to put in it and then drag them onto the timeline. Then (speed depending on your processing speed) it will put all the pictures onto it and then you can play it back. My processor doesn't seem to be able to play them back on preview mode but when you go file - save movie file...  then it will save it so it will be able to be played back in either AVI or WMA depending on what you set it to do. Before you do that though you can click on a picture on the timeline and then you can go tools - titles and credits - title on selected clip and you can put a title down with a bunch of effects and then when it's on the timeline you can pull and cut what you want it on. You can also import music too and drag and drop that on the timeline and cut what you want out of it hope that helps!\nI'm in desperate need of points so.... (hint hint = D)

I posted this a while back, and I know Lew was unable to reproduce it at that time. It was a problem in LE6.1, but I have since found that with AL7 that it is slightly different - so Lew, here is a modified procedure for reproducing this. I would approeciate it if you would retest:\n\n1. Drop a clip on to the timeline. Open it in the Clipviewer, either by double clicking on the clip on the timeline, or by right-clicking on it on the timeline and selecting Open.\n2. If there are no markers associated with the clip, create one.\n3. Open the Marker List.\n4. Click on the X in the top right corner of the Clipviewer, without closing the Marker List first.\nAL7 crashes at this point.\n\n~~~OR~~~\n\nHow to crash Windows 98 very, very badly\n \n \n \n  This does NOT work under 98SE or a copy of 98 with the Y2K bug fix.\nOK, here's the instructions....\n\nOpen MS-DOS Prompt \nType in cd &#92;windows&#92;command \nNow type in edit con.bat \nType in echo hello \nNow go to the File menu and choose Save As \nSave it as con.bat \nIf it doesn't work, it's probably because your machine has been patched \n .....................................................\n \nnot that I'm recommending anyone do this ... ever. But here's how I crashed mac OS 10.2 on my dual G4 450 tower.\n\nFirst, be a dumbass and open the computer case while it's running... that doesn't hurt anything mind you, but these two things are essential to the process.\n\nTwo, notice how dusty the top of the DVD drive is and go grab a moist paper towel to clean out the dust ... no no, wait, it gets better.\n\nAfter cleaning off the DVD drive and seeing that it's now shiny and nothing has gone wrong, now begin looking for other things in the computer that need to be dusted. Oh, yeah, do you see it coming yet?\n\nMake a brief mental note that your Radeon video card is awfully dusty, and say out loud as you swipe lightly for dust across your video card with a dampened paper towel, "This is about the dumbest thing I could be doing."\n\nNow make note that your monitor has stopped displaying web pages, and now displays random colored full screen height vertical stripes. pause. say "I'm a dumbass." And hit the reboot button.\n\nWrite about it on a forum while watching Lord of the Rings. Ponder how much a new video card costs. Be thankful you can look up prices online on your still functioning computer. ... and re-enable internet sharing since it always turns itself off at reboot.\n\n-edit- I misspelled dumbass in one of the references above. Shouldn't have wandered outside of OmniWeb I guess.\n__________________\n- Beware the wrath of my apathy. \n...................................\nmake a program that causes a memory leak, and there's your crash. or kill explorer.exe.\n\n......................................\n\nAfter a restart, holding down the right-side CTRL key and pressing the Scroll lock key twice will generate the Blue Screen of Death. \n...............................................
