Combining Clips

[googoomuck]

I have not been able to combine clips in Windows Movie Maker, even though
I've followed the instructions for combining clips exactly as stated. What
could be causing this?

think of 'combine' as a kind of 'undo' feature... you can't undo what you
didn't do in the first place. You can't combine two clips unless you
previously split them at that exact point.

I have not been able to combine clips in Windows Movie Maker, even
though I've followed the instructions for combining clips exactly as
stated. What could be causing this?

===============================
You can save the project as a movie and
it will be one single file...but as for using
the "Combine" option in Movie Maker...
that only works for clips that were created
when importing the file or if you split it your
self and all the clips are still in order. And...
all the clips must be selected.

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
