Hi!

Thanks to help I received here, I finished my first movie project and it
turned out really well. I'm trying to change the title of the movie and have
not been able to do it. I put "Test" in the title, thinking I could "Save
Project As" later on and re-name it without "Test" in it. I did click on
"Save Project As' and re-named the movie, but no matter what I do, even
though it appears in "My Videos" without the "Test," when I play the movie,
"Test" is always there. It's no big deal, I guess, but I'm going to be
sending the movie to people and would rather not have "Test" showing up in
the title.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your fast reply! I didn't explain it very well. I WAS working in
mswmm form when trying to change the title. I'll use this as an example.
Say my first title was "Because of You Test 1" and when I had it the way I
wanted it, I wanted to get rid of the "Test 1". (Don't ask why I thought I
had to put that stupid "Test 1" in there - aack!!! - won't do THAT again!!)
Anyway, I did the "Save Project As" thing, saving it as "Because of You."
Then I saved the movie file, changing the title when the time came to
"Because of You" because at that point, the "Test 1" was still showing. I
thought that by deleting "Test 1" and just typing in what I wanted would
eliminate the "Test 1," but it didn't. When the movie played back, (as an
wmv) the "Test 1" was still in the title. I don't mean the caption/title
area in the actual movie, I mean it was showing in the title in the movie box
that the movie is shown in - where it shows the name of the movie playing.
(Real technical term, huh? Sorry!) Does that make sense? I was just
trying to change the "Saved As" title, not the title that is in the actual
movie. I know I'm being about as clear as mud. Sorry again! (I hope you're
not scratching your head, looking at the Help Wanted ads!) I just don't want
it to say "Test" anywhere on the viewer - that wouldn't look too
professional!! (I find the less I know about what I'm talking about, the
more words it takes to say it - and I still don't make sense!)

Thanks!

if you mean the name that shows up in WMP in your playlist... you can change
it with the File Manager that's included in the Encoder package, without
re-rendering the file.... it's one of the file's properties.

there's a link to the Encoder on my Setup Movie Maker > Other Software page
of my website.

=============================
Truth is, I have no idea what you are
talking about...

If you are...in fact...working with the
..mswmm project file...all you have
to do is right click / delete the current
title/s and create a new one.

Hi! Thanks so much! I went to one of your sites and had a "light bulb
moment." I needed to go to "Properties" and delete what I wanted to get rid
of. That's the only place I hadn't done anything with.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I figured out what I needed to do - I needed to go to "Properties"
and delete what I didn't want.

Thanks again for your help.
