poor quality

[Gredler]

I'm importing ~3M pixel photos to my computer. When I view them, they look
great. When I import them to Movie Maker the quality is very poor. Also,
any slides that I type have poor visual effects as well. Even simple things
like 'font'. Can you help?

=======================================
When viewing the current project in Movie Maker...
especially in full screen mode the resolution will
be reduced...(this is normal).

When saving the file as a movie...the following info
may be useful:

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...

Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:

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...

FWIW...if your project consists of only Pictures and
Music...you might want to consider PhotoStory 3.
