Microsoft MovieMaker isn't working with youtube?

Question

When I tried to upload a video to youtube, I went through all the steps, but when i hit upload a message pops up that says:

'This file is a Microsoft MovieMaker project file (.MSWMM). Please retun to your project and export your movie in .WMV format. Click Ok to continue uploading.'

does anyone know what that means? Please walk me through the steps.

thanks.

Answer 1

When you make a movie with Microsoft Movie Maker you have to click on the "Publish Movie" button on the top left when you're finished.

After you do that it will automatically be saved as .WMV format.

Answer 2

You need to export the file correctly, you've still got it as a Windows Movie Maker file, please follow the steps below:

1. Open Windows Movie Maker.

2. Import your movie file you've just made (.MSWMM, the one you're trying to upload)

3. Once imported, click "File -> Save Movie File..."

4. Click "Next" on while highlighting "My Computer" in Windows Movie Maker.

5. A: Choose a name for your video; B: Choose a destination.

Then click next and next again.

6. It should now be saving it as a up-loadable file, once it's done click "Finish" and upload that file.

Answer 3

This happens to me too, all you have to do now is change the file format.

You can do that for free on certain websites, heres the one i use:
