I am also getting the error message about source files. I have windows XP,
there is plenty of space on the drive. I have also "x"d out the boxes under
"tools - options".
My story board consists of 100-200 jpeg pictures that I have edited in
"Photoexpressions" with titles and captions. I have transitions on each
frame. Used music from a cd that I have and only have 3 title overlays. The
total length of the movie is a little less that 30 minutes.
So I guess my question is...I'm trying to get out of the error message and I
guess I might need to change my pictures from Jpegs to bitmaps. I don't know
how to do that :( Is this something I can do within movie maker? I don't
want to have to start all over again! This has taken me a month to do 30
min. This is my first time using movie maker and I'm getting very frustrated
and may not use it again if this does'nt work. Please Help!

======================================
In the first place...if your project is less than 300 still
pix...PhotoStory 3 would have been a better app.

PhotoStory 3 For Windows

or...

As for converting the .jpg files to .bmp...that would
need to be done before importing into Movie Maker.
The freeware IrfanView can convert the files in a
batch.

Thank you for the quick reply...I will check out these suggestions. I don't know what Photostory 3 is. Is that something that I would have with XP? Sorry I'm not real computer savy!

====================================
I posted a link for PhotoStory 3...have a look at it....

It's a free program you can download and install.
It was originally intended for Windows XP but it
will run on Vista.

Here's the link again.....

Thanks, I have looked at the site and will probably download it. My
question is...can I copy and paste my timeline from MM into photoStory?
 
No, you can't import a Movie Maker project into Photo Story 3... you'll need
to make story projects from scratch.
