[videoblogging] Windows Movie Maker---New Version
I never thought it would happen, but it seems Microsoft is actually updating Movie Maker, the free video editor that comes with their OS. Currently, Movie Maker is one shitty program and woe to anyone who tries editing with it. http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41131.entry - Youd like more transitions, more effects, multiple soundtracks, and more video editing features like trim and split. As movie makers ourselves, were in the same boat as you are. We want those fun shatter transitions and warp effects just as much as you do! Were definitely working on improving this and plan to have a range of rich-editing capabilities in the first official version. - - Youd like something resembling a timeline in the product. In the Movie Maker beta, the storyboard didnt have the ability to represent time like a traditional timeline would. Weve heard you say that youd like to be able to drag and drop clips to get them to start and end where you want, and that youd like to have music and text that span multiple photos or video clips. Weve also heard that youd like to at a glance see which clips are longer than others, which clips have effects applied, and which clips have transitions. Now, I dont want to give too much away just yet (we still have work to do!), but were definitely aware of these limitations. Weve developed a new approach that we think will help address some of the shortcomings of the beta and will scale well from novice to experienced users without requiring people to switch views in order to get things done. I love that, You'd like something resembling a timeline in the product. I dont mean to rip on Microsoft, but it's a little insane that it;s a big revelation that a video editing program needs a good timeline as a workspace. Anyway...glad they are updating.

Re: [videoblogging] Windows Movie Maker---New Version
This is really hopeful, and I hope they exceed my rock-bottom expectations. The lack of an acceptable entry-level free video editor for Windows has not only made YouTube an eyesore, but is a serious barrier to media democracy.

[videoblogging] Windows Movie Maker for WMV's
The adventure continues... :) The WMV that I created on my editing machine is pretty big for 4 minutes of material, clocking in at 16 megs. I thought that I'd give Windows Movie Maker a spin to handle the compression to WMV. Here's one of the things that I don't understand. According to the Help menu on my in Windows Movie Maker, I've got version 5.1 installed, but the Microsoft website seems to talk about 2.1 being the newest version. The problem with the one installed on my machine is that the export operation has a wizard that I can't seem to shut off. It lists its 768 kpbs as being for LAN instead of for Broadband as mentioned in the Free Vlog tutorial. No biggie, I figure it's the same thing - right? The problem is that I have virtually no other options to adjust, including output size which seems locked at 640 x 480. I'd really like to get my interface to match up with what I'm seeing the Free Vlog tutorials so I can get this bad boy done! ;) Any help out there?

Hmm - then I wonder why in the heck mine is reporting that it's version 5.1? Or why it's quite different than the version in use on the Free Vlog tutorial video. Perhaps they were using an older version that's more flexible? Or is there a version that you can buy that has more of the necessary options? MovieMaker doesn't have an export options screen other than that very basic one with the predetermined settings and their corresponding names (LAN, Pocket PC, Broadband, etc) That sure stinks. So I guess that this means that the video already has to be at the right size before I bring it into Movie Maker? Is there some better way to be able to take a full-sized AVI file of my finished video to make it a wmv? It's a very stripped down program. I'd use the Video for Broadband 512K option. I'll give that a spin once I figure out the size issue. Thanks for getting in touch! -- Bohus Blahut (BOH-hoosh BLAH-hoot) modern filmmaker Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Windows Movie Maker for WMV's
On second thought, it looks like perhaps I don't have to monkey around with Movie Maker after all. Looking at a few other video blogs, they seem to be getting around the same file sizes as I am for comparable material. So I think that I'm just going to release this stuff as is. It's not like it's a big deal or anything - I just wanted to get the procedure down so that I don't have to think about it from week to week. I think that I'll just stick to my creaky old system of encoding WMV's until the new editing machine comes. Perhaps I'll spend some more time goofing around with Quicktime MP4's. The WMV turned out looking a bit better than the Quicktime video, and that just doesn't feel right somehow. :) Thanks for your help folks! -- Bohus Blahut (BOH-hoosh BLAH-hoot) modern filmmaker Yahoo!

According to the Help menu on my in Windows Movie Maker, I've got version 5.1 installed, but the Microsoft website seems to talk about 2.1 being the newest version. If you look below the copyright notice which is below the indication of version 5.1 you should see Windows Movie Maker v 2.1.2046 or something similar. It depends somewhat on the version of Windows XP you are using (Home, Pro, Media Center) The problem with the one installed on my machine is that the export operation has a wizard that I can't seem to shut off.

Technically you can import other profiles by dropping them into the folder where output profiles are stored. A bit of a hack, but it works. Another option for much greater control is to use the free Windows Media Encoder. Jake Ludington http://www.mediablab.com http://www.podcastingstarterkit.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!
