Question asked on Jul 6, 2017

Hello,

I have been trying to export a video using Windows Movie Maker on Windows 7 for over 10 hours now, and its just sitting on "73% complete". I tried exporting the same video the night before, and it got stuck on 76%. I am exporting the video with a custom setting, which is greatly compressed compared to the "Export for High-Definition Display" option. I'm tired of cancelling and re-starting my export every 1-2 hours, as I have other work to complete and exporting a video is using the majority of my computer's memory.

Below is a screenshot of my Movie Maker Window, which might be of use to someone.
