Re: Saving my movie

Well if you are seeing the clips in the timeline instead of the red X's then
it isn't actually a problem with the location of the source files. This
error message is one I truly hope Microsoft has taken care of with the
version of Movie Maker packaged with Vista when it comes out. The message,
in many cases, does not properly state what the problem really is. More
often than not you get this message when one or more of your clips are
either not compatible with Movie Maker or are corrupt.
What filetypes (extensions) are you using in your project?
How long is the project in minutes as well as # of clips/transitions?
What are your computer specs?

Have a look at my website in the "Movie Maker -> Trouble Shooting -> Can't
Save a Movie" section.

No all the clips are there, I just get a error message after I've chosen
all
of the specifications for saving saying it can't save as some of the files
ive used have been moved or deleted. I looked in "help" and it said all
the
clips have to be in exactly the same place on my computer as when i added
them to my movie, since i have changed computers this is impossible. Any
ideas?

If so right click on one of them and select "Browse for missing file"
then
locate the clip. Usually after doing this with one or two of them the
rest
are automatic.
If there are no red X's then there is something else that is wrong so we
will need to know if you are getting an error message or what exactly is
happening when you try to save your movie.
