red'x' clips
in [Movie Maker]
|
Prev: rotate video clip
Next: MSWMM to WLMP file
From: Kathryn on 21 Jan 2010 17:42 after making,saving,publishing a movie I reopen and photo and/or music clips in content pane are 'x' out, therefore those clips in storboard/timeline are 'x' out. I right clicked on 'x', clicked browse for missing files. A message 'file not found' came up. The missing files are not in the recycle bin, either. After redownloading the photo and/or music, again and save. The next time I open that movie, I may have the same issues with another photo or song. Do you have any other suggestions on what I am doing wrong to have this problem in the first place in order to avoid the 'x'?

The .mswmm project file does not archive copies of the source files...it only records the path to the original location. -- J.

From: Kathryn on 21 Jan 2010 19:01 In other words, even though I have saved the movie, I can not delete the photos or music from media player, pictures, or scan? Or, if I copy the picture from facebook and the originator removes the pictures, they will 'x' out on the saved movie when I open it again, right? I have, also ,deleted the photos/music from my computer. The next time I download that movie from flash back to the movie maker those pictures/music are 'x' out. The pictures/music must always stay in picture/music, right?
