No, I don't. I'm totally I novice. I guess I should get that.

If you have a windows computer, you should have it.
Look under accessories for Windows Movie Maker.

[NancyDrew]

I found it! Any advice would really be welcomed!

I use Windows Movie Maker aaaallllll the time! You have to get used to triming the clips and stuff. Importing stuff is easy! I suggest burning CDs and DVDs so your computer won't get a virus from all that downloading. Look at the help for triming and after a while you'll get the hang of it. I just started using it in June and I was almost a pro in July!

omg. im having the same issues.

i figured out how to use WMM and all, but when i upload it to youtube, it says that its the wrong file. what do i need to do to make it the right file?

[tanningbry]

Hmmm. Movie Maker saves your vids as MSWWW or something like that. When you publish it, doesn't it say anything about the formats? Ughh. I'm gonna have to do some researching.

Thanks everyone! :D

When you save the movie, do you do "save project as" and then "save to my computer"?
Cause it should save in WMV then...

^Oh! I didn't know that myself lol! But Windows Movie Maker isn't that difficult so it shouldn't be hard to learn. If anyone needs screencaps for trimming or something tell me!
