Question asked on Sep 22, 2015

Movie Maker 2012, Windows 10

I'm using video footage shot from a cell phone and Flip cameras. The footage looks and plays fine in Movie Maker but when I create the output file the footage is cropped on the sides and top which chops the head off a key speaker at one point :-(.... I'm creating an HD 1080 version and have tried both project settings 4:3 and widescreen and get the same result. 

Any ideas for handling this?? Movie Maker has no zoom so I can't solve the issue that way.

Thanks!

(Movie Maker also added a few noticeable  jiggles and wiggles to the final file that I don't see when I'm playing the movie in Movie Maker....)
