TWO Questions

[Guest]

1.) I have a video that I have put into my project, but:
-I also have added music to the background (so the video PLUS the video
audio PLUS music)
-Is there any way I can get rid of the video, replace with pictures, but
still have both audio? (I hope I am explaining this well)

2.) If I am uploading a picture that isn't full size, is there a way to
change the background colour - I don't want it to be black..

1. Finish this project, save as good quality video AVI or WMV. Bring that
video back into Movie Maker in another project and drag the 'video' into the
music track. This will leave the Video track for the pictures.

2. To avoid black borders, resize and crop your pictures to 4:3 (or 16:9)
ratio -- matching the output aspect ratio as specified in Tools -> Options->
Advanced.

You may be interested to use Pan Zoom effects for more effectiveness. In
which case you should consider using Photostory (free tool from Microsoft)
or use my Pan Zoom plugin from my website.
