WMV

Hi i can't save my movie as WMV. i only have the choice of MSWMM and my media
player wont play it. also when i try sending it to my mates they can't open
it either cos it is in the wrong file format. how can i change this?

Hello there,

The MSWMM file is the project file. To create your video you should
click FILE > SAVE MOVIE and follow the dialog. Thee are two formats
availabl..WMV and the high quality DV-AVI (Which also creates very large
files)

Use the Save to My Computer option in the left hand task pane and NOT File,
Save.

Hello.

Can you explain why??

As far as I can see they both take you to the identical dialog. Why
should the original poster NOT use the standard FILE > SAVE MOVIE option? I
must say that its a little confusing

I think what Cari is saying is do not use File > Save, as this will just
save the project files, you need to use save movie as you suggested in your
earlier reply.

Hello there,

Yes your explanation was my first though until I realised that all of the SAVE
commands are qualified as in Save Movie" or Save "Project" and that's why I
said it was confusing.
