Save to My Computer

[Guest]

When I completed a movie I clicked "save to my computer" . Later when I
tried to open it I went to file in Movie Maker and clicked open project and
it was not there. I had to go to import to get it back into MM. I wanted to
make some changes to the title but it wouldn't let me.
Then I noticed that some of my movies are saved with the MM reel and some
are not. What is the difference and why can't I open a movie and edit it
when I choose the "save to my computer" option?

====================================
If you go to...File / Save Project As...it will create
a .mswmm file which can be reopened later for
editing. If you go to...File / Save Movie File...it
creates a finished movie.

If you have a .mswmm file you can just click on
it and it will open in Movie Maker for editing.
