I give up!! It’s about movie maker! Help Please!?
Question by philcay: I give up!! It’s about movie maker! Help Please!?
Well I am out in left field about this!
I realize I am no PC Genius
I have a video on my hard drive that I made from a video camera.
I converted it from MOD Format to AVI and sent it to windows movie makert
Here’s my problem, hope someone can help.
When it went to windows movie maker there was only ONE Picture of the video..On the movie maker. most of the time there are chapters and there are none here. Just one long video.
I need to shorten it and use parts of it to upload them to you tube.
But because I can’t see any chapters I can’t pick the parts of the movie I want to use.
You tube only allows 10 minutes and this video is like 30 minutes long.
Can someone please tell me how I can pick out the 10 minute parts to upload to youtube.
On all the others it say drag and drop the parts you want.
Ther is only ONE Part to this video it’s the entire movie.
I really will appreciate your help but please make it simple I don’t even understand Pc’s For Dummies!
This movie is about bands playing at diferent times and I want to upload each one to you tube with AVI or WMV
Thank you in advance

This may be different depending on the version of Movie Maker you have, but you can either:
right click on the clip that’s there and choose “create clips” which will split the video into different, smaller clips (but that might not work since it didn’t do it by default).
or…
on the right hand side of the screen, there should be a bit that shows you the clip which you can play, pause etc (the “preview monitor”). If you move the time slider to the point you want to split the clips at and press one of the buttons which looks like two pieces of film with a dotted line between them (or press ctrl + L ) then it will split the movie into two clips at that exact time. That’s more useful than just letting Windows Media Player decide where to cut it, doing it that way you can cut the clip into the exact times where different bands start.
If none of this works, maybe the conversion didn’t go well, can Windows Media Player play the .avi properly?
What do you think? Answer below!
