Windows Movie Maker Trouble

[Homer]

Attached below is my first attempt at a coaster video. Sadly though, about one minute of it is 'corrupt'.

 

Heres the summary:

-The intro works fine.

-After the intro, the music plays fine, but none of the video shows until about 1:06 into the video, when you see a pixel transition into the second vertical drop.

-The video works smoothly from there. The part thats gnawing my head off (literally) is how come the first minute of footage won't show.

 

Any help, pointers, or is it just the stupidity of Microsoft?

 

IM me if you want the zip, its too big to attach here.

Stop using Windows Movie Maker.

 

Seriously though, try another program. I don't know if there are any free demos of other editing programs, but if you can get your hands on one, use it and see if the same problem persists.

 

Also try re-importing the footage that is giving you issues.

Yeah Windows Movie Maker has it's problems. I use it tho becasue I'm not crazy on effects so it works fine, I just convert it from the .wmv to something else when I'm done.

 

But yeah I've made part of a movie then when I go back and play it the music became all off and screwed up, I've had video now show before too. It also tends to freeze up a lot. I just deal with it, but if you can find something that suits you better go for it. I'm sure there is some open source editor out there, infact, I'm going to look right now. Be back soon...

Well, that was fast.
