WOW

...So much time only for render 3 minutes of video from static images, yes ...What is the size of the images (frames) and what the resolution that you are exporting? Which Codec are you using? Have you a 486 PC?

I've open Movie Maker and I have seen that you can add effects now

...are you using some of that effects, aren't you? Which, WHICH??

the size is 720 x 486 and i don't know what else you are talking about! I'm only 13.

Well... SORRY! Seems that the resolution would must not be the problem... But you must tell me at least if you are using some of those effects or if you only have put your images and then go to save movie file; What computer do you have (only the processor velocity, PLEASE!)

I'm not using effects. I'm only putting my sounds and animation in and saving it. Processor velocity??

This isn't really a Moho question, try to seek help here:

Personally I think Windows Movie Maker 2 is too restrictive. IIRC only the proprietary WMV9 and DV-AVI as output formats. And DV-AVI takes 200 Mb per minute of video (in your case about 700 Mb).

I hope you get help soon!

I have no experience with WMM but I'll try to give some help here...

-Are the frames created in Moho? Why not export as .avi in Moho?
- If they are seperate Moho scenes, export those as .avi and combine those in WMM.
- Many video apps set a single frame to a longer duration, so not 1 frame but 5 seconds for instance. This will greatly increase rendering time.
- What output format do you select? DV avi or WMV?
- How many original frames do you have?
- Is the sound .wav or .mp3 or something else? .wav is usually the most responsive, but the filesize is bigger.

Anyway, you seem to be doing something wrong, unless you have a computer older than you are it can't be a processor problem...

"i don't know what else you are talking about! I'm only 13"
Age is not the excuse for everything you don't understand. They are kids with a lot of knowledge and adults with barely any knowledge at all. You do not have the technical knowledge yet, that's not an age limited factor, there's a lot I don't know at age 30

Silly kids with them computer thingies, at your age you should get outside, smoke cigarettes without your parents knowing about it and trying to get a girlfriend but not knowing what to do with her when you get one

Good luck...with the video, not the cigarettes,

You're a bad man..... bad, bad man!
