    Movie Maker StoryBoard and monitor displays only black


    I downloaded and installed Movie Maker 2.6 into my Windows 10 PC. When I create a text title it appears black in the monitor pane and on the storyboard no matter what color I choose for the Font or background. If anyone has had this problem, let me know what you did to fix it. I do know how to use the program as I had it on an old PC. Thanks.

    :)

    I am trying to drag and drop videos from Picasa into the storyboard in Movie Maker 2.6 but am unable to. I keep getting the "stop" symbol. Can anyone help?

  3. Can not play .mov files in Media Player or Movie Maker after upgrading to Windows10

    Just upgraded to windows10 and find that I cannot play .mov files in media player or movie maker. Sound comes through on media player but not the video. In movie maker it goes through the preparing step and then I get exclamation marks over the video preview
    on the left. Whem I double click the preview video a message pops up asking if I want to remove the video. On the bottom of the pop up there a "How do I fix this problem?" line I selected and it took me to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/...d=0E6A6B6B13674DDB957B74DD2977DED4&wlrefapp=5

    The info is as follows:

    A photo or video that you add in Movie Maker might appear with an error icon. This indicates that the photo or video can't currently be used in Movie Maker.

    Here are some things to try to fix the issue:


    • Make sure the video and audio codec that is required to play the video is installed on your computer. For information about determining which codecs are used by a video file, and how to find and install missing codecs, see Codecs:
      frequently asked questions
      on the Windows website.

    • If a codec is missing, you might want to try to play the video file in Windows Media Player. For some types of video files, Windows Media Player can automatically download and install missing codecs. If the missing codec can be installed, you can then try
      to add the video file again in Movie Maker. For more information about the types of multimedia files that Windows Media Player supports, as well as additional information about finding codecs, see the article Information
      about the multimedia file types that Windows Media Player supports
      on the Microsoft website.

    • If a picture or video is missing on the storyboard, make sure that the source photo or video file hasn't been renamed, moved, or deleted.

    • Video and music files that are protected with digital rights management (DRM) can't be used in Movie Maker. Remove protected files from the storyboard, and then continue editing.

    • If a video appears as a music item on the storyboard, remove the video from the storyboard. Video files can't be used as a soundtrack in Movie Maker.

    • If a video, photo, or music file type isn't supported in Movie Maker, remove it from the storyboard. For more information about what types of files you can use in Movie Maker, see What
      kind of files can I use in Movie Maker?

    This looks to be a codec issue. If anyone has info please provide assistance.

    Thanks
