Windows 10: Photos App Video Maker

Hello, for the past few years I enjoyed using the video maker that comes with Windows 10. I would get to it by loading an image into the Photos app and then selecting "Create A Video With Music" from the dropdown menu. From there, I could make little videos for myself with 3d effects. I used the program about a month ago and everything was fine. However, since then, whenever I try to use it, all but 3 of the "EFFECTS" are gone. Confetti, Lens Sparkle, and Snow are the only ones left. There used to be 30 or 40 different effects! Wh

Movie Editor in the photos app keeps uploading a pink/purple video instead of the actual video

Hi Emma Epps,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To get clarity of this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Is this issue occurring with all the video app, or with the particular video file?
   
2. What is the Graphic Card that you have installed on your PC?
   
3. What is the make and model of the system?
   
4. What is the version of Windows 10 you are using? You can refer this article to
   Check for operating system information in Windows 10.
   

It seems likely this pink artifacts on export issue is caused by display driver compatibility issues. However, I suggest you to follow the below method and check if that helps.



Method 1: Turn off hardware-accelerated video encoding in Settings

1. Open photo app and select settings
   
2. At the bottom you will find your app version number in the About this app section
   
3. If you are running version 2018.180710.00 or greater
   there will also be a Video section with a toggle on this page
   
4. You should try turning off this toggle, which will disable hardware-accelerated video encoding, then exporting your video.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
