Stupid Windows Movie Maker. Again.

I don't know why I keep making videos...maybe I'm some kind of masochist?

1. Perhaps your using the product wrong? Bill Gates wants you to be happy!


Really he does.

3. What I would do in your situation
assuming the movie isn't for commercial purposes *cough cough* is simply download the free 30-day trial of Adobe After Effects

http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/?promoid=BPDDW

follow some online tutorials, keep the help file handy, and use it. It won't crash, and the result will be better.

4. I'm betting you make movies
because you feel the need to create.

Creative people are like that.

They can be feisty sometimes too. :hug:

5. Try this... it's much more satisfying :)

6. The screen didn't do anything wrong, it was the CPU.
don't get mad at the screen.
