Have just created a video on Windows Movie Maker for Jess's gotcha day (used Windows Movie Maker as photobucket were limited to the tunes available and I wanted a particular one).
Spent most of last night editing it and now cannot copy it to either photobucket or YouTube to enable me to post it on here - any ideas why.
-
You need to save it from Movie Maker onto your pc ( in my photos or my videos etc ), then when uploading to youtube click on browse and select the destination where you saved it... or have you already tried that ?
-
Yes cos thats the usual way I save photos, but have never tried uploading a video before. Asked my son in law to have a look and he says it needs converting, so he tried to download a video converter but it was going to cost £20.
Surely you can save videos to a photobucket without all this performance, its a really funny slideshow of her as well and the music makes it.
Time is running out as it is her gotcha day on 18th.
Am I missing something.
-
Have you saves it as an actual video file as opposed to a movie maker project? I kept saving it in the wrong format when i've done it before...
-
Are you sure you've saved it to your pc ? Can you go to the destination and play it ?
You shouldn't need to convert it.
-
I can defintely play it in my videos but not sure if I have saved it as a video file as a pose to movie maker (thanks Beth)
Am at work at the moment so can't check right now but will do tonight.
Thanks Colin also.
-
Right am back home and the video IS saved in my videos as "Movie Maker Project" type, so how do I change the format as I have tried to change file type it won't let me.
-
Uhh.. that i can't remember. :embarassed: if you do save as is there another option in the drop down format box? :huh:
-
No there is no other option in drop down box :huh:
-
I think if you go into the file menu you can do "save movie file". That might work. :huh:
-
No tried that but it will only let me save it as Movie Maker. I am now at a loss and am going to have to use a montage I have made on Photobucket, which is Ok but not as good as Movie Maker one - is there any way of adding your own music onto photobucket, or any other way to add music to a montage without using movie maker?
-
What a pain. When I've used Movie Maker it always automatically saves the file as a 'Windows Media Movie', which is easy to upload to all the filesharing sites - so not sure what's going wrong for you.
There's a Movie Maker forum here...
http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Forums/
Might be worth doing a search on there to see if others have had the same problem or joining and asking for help.

Thanks for that Colin - will try later when I am back home (am at work again).
I will NOT be beat. :005:

Hurray thanks for the link to the movie maker forum (thanks Colin) I have now manged to save my video to my photobucket account but now I am having difficulty copying it onto here.
I know how to upload photos (by using the little insert image icon then pasting the address) do I use a different icon for vidoes and I am unsure which code to use - as there are several.
There is a "Email and IM" Code, a "Direct Link", a "html" code and "IMG" code - does anyone know which one I am supposed to copy and which icon do I choose from above where you post your reply etc.
Many thanks.
-
use the IMG code - you don't need to use the picture icon as PB gives a direct link to copy and paste
-
Thank you - was very confused.
Will give it a go.
