Hi Cindy,
The red X's indicate you moved or deleted the 20 picture files.... when you
'import' them into Movie Maker 2, they need to stay where you first put them
as Movie Maker still needs them.
It's great that you are testing the process with the 20 pictures. Do it all
the way thru until you see your DVD playing on your equipment.
PhotoStory might be easier and better for you when it comes to making a show
with 300 pictures....

And the fact that my package did not have a seperate instructional book for Movie Maker2 with it. So it takes more time to try to look up the problems I run into each time and etc so no wonder I'm about ready to throw it out the window! > > But thought I would give you a try right quick and I'm hoping you can help me....I have a deadline to meet; the food/building/screen & projector and etc is all rented and I have to get this movie made and am having troubles. > > I had planned to scan in all of the 300 pictures first, then make the movie, but something told me to test the first 20 of them first to see if everything was working, before proceeding any further, so I did, and so far I've saved them about 10 different times to TPX, that didn't work, then I converted them to JPEG and then saved the project so I could get to work. Then after work last night I reopened the project and there wasn't any pictures at all, just the square frame where they were before, and now all I see is red x's! What is causing this? > > Also can I scan in more than one picture at a time to make this process go faster? How can I crop each one from there and save it? I've tried that several times? And the red x's show up after that too after I saved them. What's up with that? I need to know all the quick tips and advise I can get! My scanner bed can hold anywhere from 6 to 8 pictures at a time! > > Back to the movie, I want to burn this (if I ever get it made in time) onto a DVD or CD (which is the best?), then play it through my home DVD player(which is suppose to play Kodak picture CD, MP3, S-Video Output (what is this?) and JPEG readable files burned onto CD-R or CD-RW) - What's the difference between these and a DVD disc? Why doesn't it say it will play a DVD using JPEG files? Which should I use for the movie?) and show it thru a projector to 250 guests at my parents' reception (and I really only have about 4 1/2 days and nights left to work on this and get it going). I've been told this can be done with what programs came with my Windows XP Home Edition and Movie Maker 2, and the projector I have rented for that day. But I've read thru several of these comments in here and see where people are referring to using MyDVD Player and MySonic and etc....Will I have to buy another program or something in order to show this movie or what? > > Please Help ! I have to go to my other job now, but I'll check back when I get back hopefully with all of the info I need so I can get going on this, or if I need to buy something more in order for it to work, then drive 85 miles one way just to buy what ever it is I need (which I don't have time to do, but will find a way some how!) > > Thanks A Bunch! > Cindy > >
