Question asked on Apr 13, 2014

Hi,

I just made a 6 second Movie maker project consisting of 22 pictures playing rapidly with a song playing in the background.

When I try to save the project into an actual video using the "save movie" wizard, the program closes unexpectedly.

I can see the progress bar being displayed very briefly before the crash.

Instead of a mpeg file I find a tmp file that has a different name every time I try (ie "~PI569D.tmp")

When I restart movie maker, it tells me

  "Restore your last Movie Maker project, the last time you used windows Movie Maker it closed unexpectedly. If you don't restore this project, the changed you made to it will be lost"

I am running windows 7

Any help appreciated
