Why won't movie maker save my file?

Why can't I save my windows movie maker project as a movie file?

  • I have made a video on Windows Movie Maker which I want to upload to youtube so I need to convert it from a project to a movie file. But when I go to save it this error message comes up: Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving locations is still available and that there is enough free disk space available. I have checked all these and there all fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem pleases

  • Answer:

    Hi, first you need to verify that all original source files used in your made video is still available, if no, you have to restore the original source files at first, if all original source files are ok, but still have this problem, maybe there is something wrong with Windows Movie Maker, I think you have to use another software to make and upload your video on youtube, and you can follow me to use Youtube Movie Maker, it can be used to edit/make and upload youtube videos from various videos, pics, musics, texts, etc. better than Windows Movie Maker for youtube video creation. You can download it from makeyoutubevideo.com, and view below channel for some online guides, youtube.com/easymakevideo, hope it can help you too.

For basic editing, AVS Video Editor is a great choice: It's also free trial, so that's always nice.
