Audio in Storyboard

Hi There,
I imported a video clip into movie maker which played perfectly. When I
dropped it down into the story board to begin editing the sound quality
became terribly distorted. I continues to happen with each clip. Any help
out there?
 
Thanks Graham. I guess part of the problem is I am converting the file from
a .mov through rad video tools. I change it to an avi but then I have to
compress it because it is huge. I've been trying different compressions but
can't come up with something WMM storyboard seems to like. If you have any
further suggestions please write back. I'm not sure what a dv-avi is?

Thanks again
 
dv-avi is the dv format of the avi file type.

Clear.

I thought not. It's a file type the same as MOV, WMV etc. avi's can though
come in lots of formats, dv being only one of them.

Why comress it, avi's are huge, the dv-avi files are 13gb per hour, what
size is yours? DO you not have much space left? Compression will seriously
affect quality, and is possibly affecting the stability of the programme and
giving you your problem.

Get a wmv, which is smaller than avi and MM will like it.

Hi Graham,

Back again, thanks for your response. The size of the videos I am taking
are always less than a minute. The avi file is about 2 gb for example. Wmm
doesn't like that either. Sound is distorted and breaking up as is the
video. wmv is great but It is back to that conversion problem. My digital
camera is a Nikon and works with Quicktime. Their movie software "video
impression" isn't very good. I've been trying to convert the .mov to wmv but
can't find the right program to do it on. Actually you can do it in video
impression software and the video will play nicely in wmm but the sound does
not play. So this is where I am at. I bought this Nikon thinking I was
going to be able to make movies, send them back to our family in the States
on CD's but it's not working out that way. I had no idea this stuff was that
proprietory.

Let me know if you have more wisdom on this. I appreciate your time and
consideration.
 
You didn't say the model number of the camera so I couldn't look it up. Does
it have a firewire (IEEE 1394) port so you can simply use firewire and
capture the video from the camera to WMM?

Hey there,

It is a Nikon coolpix 5900 digital camera with a video function on it. It
records in everything in .mov. I don't think wmm will capture it.
 
Ok, digital cameras are not the best for video, but lets see where we can
get to.
If you movie is under one minute and is 2gb it's some huge avi file, so muxt
be uncompressed, and as such not useable in MM.
I don't use this app, but I believe it may well do what you want it to.
Quicktime Pro.

I'm just checking with some Apple experts to find out if it will do it.
Otherwise, do you want to edit the movies? What will they be watched on?
TV/PC?
You may be able to do rudimentary editing with Q Pro, and then save as a mov
which they could watch on their pc's using Quicktime player?
