General discussion

Of home movie titles and credits

by christy Nov 10, 2006 9:28AM PST

Although thid post is more about movie creation and editing, I wonder anyone can help out.

I am trying to add a "Title" run at the start of my movie, and at the end, a "The End" and "Credits" run, showing details of place, date and time the movie is taken, the camera man, equipment used, etc. i.e. giving a professional touch to the movies. How do I do this with Windows Movie Maker (I have version 1.1 which came with windows XP), if at all possible, or are there free simple downloadable programs ? At present, I do it by creating them with "Power Point" as a slide show and fliming the sequence - acceptable, but certainly not "professional" ! Thanks.

Using Windows Movie Maker
by christy Nov 11, 2006 11:35AM PST

Thanks, boya84, but are you referring to WMM 1.1 (which came with Windows XP) ? There is no Tools menu at my copy of WMM. Excuse me, but I am new in this. Perhaps I am missing something ?

Do you have Windows XP SP2???
by whizkid454 Nov 11, 2006 11:41AM PST

How you can check is go to start, then right click on my computer, then properties, and it should say there. If it says SP1, go to Windows Update and download SP2. When it downloads SP2, WMM is included.

I have SP2....

....but only WMM version 1.1. The features are with WMM version 2, which I have now downloaded. Ver. 2 is a far improved version.

Whizkidd's right... Service Pack 2 is likely the answer
by boya84 Nov 11, 2006 12:01PM PST

There are instructions at the HP site on getting that for your computer - which you really should do. I believe it gets you to Windows MovieMaker 2.1.something and will patch a BUNCH of Windows Operating System vulnerabilities you should have if you are doing any internet activities...
