There was supposed to be an Olympic preview montage

[missizzy]

In fact, it was one I put more preparation into than I ever put into a montage before. I planned out what footage to use, and assigned everything to the lyrics of the song as I downloaded. It took me ages to download. It didn’t help I had to run just about everything through an avi converted before it would import into Windows Movie Maker. Finally I spent today editing, had my montage ready…and Windows Movie Maker won’t convert it. I have no idea what the problem is, and no time with which to figure it out. Unless I can track down a miracle solution tomorrow a whole month of work and planning goes down the drain.
I sometimes consider new video editing software, but that’s expensive and the one time I tried it it didn’t go any better. Why can’t there be a simply video editor out there that works?!
Don't even talk to me about certain comments by Rowling either. I am not in the mood for any of that tonight.

Which version of Movie Maker are you using? I found the most recent impossible, but going back to version 2 caused weird glitches. I've been using 6.0, and it seems to have gotten rid of my problems.

I'm using version 6.1 How to do I get back to 6.0?

Hope it helps!

Thanks. Though in the end I managed to save the montage, albeit with a drop in sound quality. I'll be posting it here when Vimeo finishes processing it.
