Windows Forum / Windows XP / Movie Maker / August 2005Wish list for future MM versions
1. Facility to burn the movie on DVD or VCD without using other software. 2. Option to split clip and result in smaller clip (it seems to keep original size). 3. When working with Titles, provide the facility to select the Font size, not the large A and small A that does not work that well. 4. Provide for scrolling credit to be shown side-by-side with a video clip. > 1. Facility to burn the movie on DVD or VCD without using other software. I prefer to use my own, free software from Microsoft will never be able to match the abilities of commercial software if it is to remain free. > 2.

Do you mean it keeps it's original length or it's original filesize on your hard drive? > 3.

I agree although the up and down buttons work just fine it would be easier to use a dropdown box to adjust the fontsize. > 4.

Just the selection they have that doesn't work to create a CD or DVD. Nothing like the commercial software that does many other things. 2. The file size after the split remains large in the hard drive. 3. It would be nice to have better control (with the current way you can't use a larger font). 4. I would like to see the feature where you can display a video clip on one side and the ending credits on the other. I think it is possible to obtain a similar effect with Rehan's split although there is very little control over the size of each side. > > 1.

It is available on the MCE machines but I do agree that it should be available for simply being able to save to a DVD in all versions of WMM and it probably will be in the next version I would guess. > 2. The file size after the split remains large in the hard drive. That's because when you "split" a clip in WMM the original file isn't split at all. You are only splitting within the program to make it possible to use only part of a clip. The size doesn't change because the original clip on your hard drive doesn't change. > 3.

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >> Kind of like the Credits: Video Left Title animation? I would love to have the capability to increase/decrease volume of the audio (such as music playing in the background) when there is a Narration on the certain part of the movie WITHOUT affecting the rest of the movie clip. It's disappointing and frustrating that the program is incapable of doing this simple task, knowing that it was developed on the premise that it will be used for multi-media presentations. If there IS a way to do this (similar to the capability of Imovie) in WMM, please post or reply. PS. Here is how I was able to get around lowering the volume of the music background while there is a voice over: I cut the music (literally stopped where I wanted it to but faded it out as opposed to an abrupt stop, then pasted the same music file but started on where I cut it the first time with a LOWER VOLUME, tricking the program it is another music file, but it is continuous when played back. STILL, this does not give you complete control over sounds and volume level, and the whole things shouldn't be THIS F-ing difficult to do. I like the program, it just needs more improvement. Hope this helps, too, for those encountering the same problem. Cheers! The way you adjusted the volume to a specific section is the right way to do it. Unfortunately you can't simply select a portion of the audio and adjust the volume there. -Wojo > I would love to have the capability to increase/decrease volume of the > audio [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Hope > this helps, too, for those encountering the same problem.
