WMM WILL NOT IMPORT VIDEO CLIPS FROM THE WORK AREA TO THE TIME LIN

[Guest]

YEP, I COPIED ALL THE DLL FILES TO THE REG, THEN RE-INSTALLED SP-2 AND THIS
PIECE OF JUNK STILL DOESN'T WORK.

AFTER I SET UP A NEW PROJECT AND A COLLECTIONS FOLDER, I ATTEMPT TO IMPORT
AN AVI, MPEG AND A PHOTO FILE TO THE WORK AREA I RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE
THAT SAYS. 'IMPORT FAILED, UNSPECIFIED ERROR'. ???????

I TURN OFF WMM AND TURN IT BACK ON TO FIND THE IMAGE FILE IN THE WORK AREA
AND IN A COLLECTIONS FOLDER.

BUT WHEN I ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE CLIP TO THE STORYBOARD OR THE TIME LINE IT
WOULDN'T TAKE. THE CLIP DOESN'T MOVE TO THE TIMELINE, ALTHOUGH IT PLAYS IN
THE PREVIEW WINDOW.

I RIGHT CLICK ON THE CLIP AND COPY THE CLIP TO THE TIME-LINE AND I GET
ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE SAYING 'INVALID POINTER'. ANYONE HAVE A CLUE WHAT'S
HAPPENING HERE? CAN THIS BE FIXED?

WMM IS A REAL PIECE OF JUNK! EVEN U-LEADS VIDEO STUDIO-SE IS A FAR BETTER
NOL-LINEAR EDITOR, AND COME FREE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY CD/DVD BURNER, EVEN
I'VE GOT TWO FREE COPIES.

I THINK MICROSOFT COMES UP WITH THIS JUNK JUST SO XP-OWNERS WILL EAT UP
THEIR FREE SERVICE-TECH QUESTIONS, THEN PAY TO ASK MORE!

THE ONLY REASON I'M TRYING TO FIX WMM IS THAT IT DOES A NICE JOB CONVERTING
'AVI' TO 'ASF' FILES FOR SHORT STREAMING EMAIL ATTACHMENTS. PLUS IT REALLY
BUGS ME WHEN PIRATES-GATES SELL THIS PRODUCT FOR SO MUCH AND PART OF IT
DOESN'T WORK.

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?

it doens't handle MPEG-2 files and has problems with Divx and Xvid encoded
AVI files.... see my Import Movie Source Files > Video section for
suggestions on conversions and utilities to do them.

LONG, LONG AGO, WHEN WMM WAS UP AND RUNNING CORRECTLY IT HANDELED 'AVI' FILES
WITH NO PROBLEM. WMM FAILED TO IMPORT ANY VIDEO AND PHOTO FILES AFTER I
UPGRADED FROM PREMIERE 6.5 TO PREMIERE PRO 2.0, OTHER AMATURE NLE'S STILL
WORK ON MY SYSTEM LIKE ULEAD, NERO 6.0 AND OTHERS WHY DOESN'T WMM?

I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEBSITE INFO, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S A CONVERSION
ISSUE. NOR DO I BELIEVE THERE'S A DRIVER CONFLICT, I THINK THAT WMM'SA JUST A
PIECE OF JUNK!

THANKS, VIDEOOOOO...

 

[PapaJohn]

yes, as time went by... Movie Maker handled such source files less and
less...

I see Papa John has helped you but please, in the future don't type in all
capital letters. In the computer world, it is considered shouting and it
also makes the text difficult to read.

Videooooo, I'm having the same exact problem as you've described here, I've
searched various forums and haven't found a solution, did you ever find a
remedy???

ABOUT TYPING IN CAPS. YELLING? WHAT ARE YOU 12? NO I SIT RATHER FAR FROM MY
MONITOR SO I TYPE IN CAPS, ARIAL BOLD, ITALIC, BLUE AND IN 14pt, THAT HOW I
LIKE IT IT’S EASIER ON MY EYES.

NOPE THIS PIECE OF JUNK STILL DOESN'T WORK, FURTHER MORE WHILE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH WMM I CREATED AN EVEN BIGGER
PROBLEM, WHEN I TURNED ON MY COMPUTER THIS MORNING I FOUND MY START/TASK BAR
HAD JUST DISAPPEARED AND I COULDN’T GET IT BACK. SO I HAD TO DO AN XP-SYSTEM
RESTORE THROUGH THE SAFE MODE TO A DATE JUST BEFORE I RE-INSTALLED SP-2 TO
FIX WMM WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.

I SUGGEST WORKING WITH ULEAD OR NERO’S NON-LINEAR EDITOR IF YOU INTO PLAYING
WITH VIDEO EDITING OR PINNACLE, VEGAS, AVID OR CANAPOUS IF YOU INTO A BIT
MORE SOPHISTICATION.

BOTH ULEAD AND NERO PROGRAM S WORK FINE WITH ANY AUDIO/VIDEO FILE FORMATS
AND THEY GENERALLY ARE FREE WHEN YOU BUY A CD OR DVD BURNER. ULEAD CAME FREE
WITH MY CD BURNER AND NERO 6.5 CAME FREE WITH MY SONY DVD BURNER.

GIVE’M A TRY..
