Welcome to the forums. Go to the "File" menu and click on "Save Movie File" (if you have Windows XP) or "Publish Movie" (if you have Vista) and that will open the wizard that walks you through the rest of the steps in the process.

You're welcome - good luck with your movie making.

Re: Transitions make timeline shorter 11/20/2009 9:43:33 PM   (Total replies: 0)
Welcome to the forums. The timeline gets shorter because it overlaps portions of the clips/images in order to transition from the first item to the second item. Thus, when you add a transition, the overall length of your movie will decrease by whatever the duration of that transition is.

Unfortunately, if you no longer have the source files required for that project, you will not be able to create a movie using that project file on your new system.

Which version of Movie Maker was used to create the project file and which version of Windows do you have?

Project files are not backwards compatible and version 6.0 is the version that came with Vista. Which version was used to create the project file and which version are you trying to open it in (go to "Help > About Windows Movie Maker" to find the version number)?

It appears you're trying to open a project that was created in version 6.0 in version 2.6. As I mentioned previously, project files are not backwards compatible and you can't open a 6.0 project in version 2.6. Your options are to open it in version 6.0 and do your editing in that version or, if you want to use version 2.6 for some reason, start your project over.

Try using <a href="http://download.live.com/moviemaker">Windows Live Movie Maker</a> (it's a free download) to open your project; version 6.0 was bundled as part of Vista and there's not a separate download for it.

The X's mean the source files have been renamed, moved or deleted between when you created the project and now. If you moved the files, then double click on a clip with a X on it and then browse to find the file in its' new location and to re-establish the link in your project.
