I'm trying to create a movie from multiple video files taken with a FLip camcorder. There are 40 separte files. When I import one it creates a new collection. I was able to create a video by using the collections one by one. However, I can not save the project. The reason I belivie is that not all the clips are present because they are in separate collections. How can I merge the separate collections? I have tried going to the METAFILE with the collections but it doesn't show the individual collections.
drag and drop from one collection to the one you want is unfortunately the way forward. -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com "JonathanNH" wrote in message news:A7A7ACF9-0773-4206-9C40-0542618D99F4@microsoft.com... > I'm trying to create a movie from multiple video files taken with a FLip > camcorder.

you don't to put all you clips in the same collection in order to use them in a project.... the Flip camcorder lets you copy the files to your computer's hard drive as AVI or WMV files.... the WMV choice should work fine in Movie Maker, but the AVI files are DIVX/XVID compressed and may not work, which could be the reason you're having issues. -- website references are to www.papajohn.org PapaJohn (MVP) "JonathanNH" wrote in message news:A7A7ACF9-0773-4206-9C40-0542618D99F4@microsoft.com... > I'm trying to create a movie from multiple video files taken with a FLip > camcorder.
