Windows Movie Maker

[888]

I just recently downloaded Windows Movie Maker, so I can work on a project. But when I get the pictures all together, the preview won't show them D: It says it's playing, but the preview stays black. What should I do? ;.;

Can you provide a screenshot?

[888]

Sure. I imported the smallest video clip I had. But it does the same with pictures, and that's what my project is going to be using.



The audio is working, it's just the preview that won't show. It stays black.

Have you installed a codec pack?

[888]

No, I don't think so. I tried it once before, to fix a problem with Windows media player, but it made it worse, so I stopped trying. I don't know what I'm looking for

Try removing some videos, I used to have this problem

[888]

From my computer? There was only one video added to WMM. And when I was using pictures, I only had one up at the time

Did you try playing them on Windows Media Player? If you get same results, then the problem isn't with Windows Movie Maker but with the video itself. You might need to install some codecs in order to play some certain file types.
Try K-Lite Codec Pack!

They play, and the audio and everything is fine. But with HQ video, the actual video gets all checkered sometimes. I thought it might be a codec or something, so I tried installing one, but when I did, it took away my subs. Then when I uninstalled it, the videos wouldn't play at all D:
The one you linked won't do that will it? >.<

What? You uninstalled your codecs and the videos still work fine? OMG.
I have tried that codec pack myself and I can safely say it's good.
Good luck!
