line.
It has Version 1 of Movie Maker.
The help page, it appears, was written by someone who would probably be
better suited mowing lawns. I went to the Help/Topics and looked up Titles

Cannot I edit the Title/Credits in Movie Maker? or is there some view that
I have to turn on
Have never used MovieMaker
Would like a little help.
01. We have no problems getting video/audio onto a computer. It is
primarily in MP3 format, but there are others like AVI, etc.
02. What we are interested in doing is editing the strips that we have with
voice comments and visual remarks.
03. The questions that we have are:
a. How do we add Titles and Credits and control their font, color,
and size and how they come in and go out..
b. How do we control the length of time that the Title/Credit is
displayed in the movie.
c. I notice that there are two lines in the storyboard that refer
to audio. Can you place a lower volume in the movie and still add voice
comments and have both play.
d. Can a movie be edited internally. What we mean is can I take a
single video strip and divided into four cuts with different audio and music
for each cut.
e. Can I export the finished product in MP3 or DVD format. I need
it in a format that can be played by a DVD player. I would prefer a default
format that is used by American DVDs.
f. Is there a Web Page that has instruction in a hand-hold style
that we can go to??????????????
Would appreciate any and all help. But PLEASE, no upgrade to MM2 comments.
We are on a machine that has XP Pro, SP1 and our agency will not upgrade for
us.
