MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Hi all,
For reasons I cannot figure out, WMM has stopped working - when I import video, it just displays a grey box - plays the sound but no image. Tried reinstalling etc etc - no luck.
Short of reformatting the laptop, any recommendations for any similar software I can try out? I just want to stick a few holiday clips together with a title and music, so nothing fancy required.
Want to keep vaguely decent quality (I know WMM isn't great, but I downloaded a trial for something else and it was truly terrible), and no watermarks of course.
Thanks, Duane.
(Running Windows 7 if that makes any difference)
How techy are you?
You could install Linux as a dual boot and run Kdenlive which is a well featured video editor.
It's a bit of work but powerful and free!
Sounds like a corrupted codec. Try installing one from this site and see if it fixes the problem?

Not overly techy I'm afraid.
Scotroutes, any idea on which one I should install? (sorry - see above!)
Go for 9.8.0 - Full. That should be the most up to date and most complete.
Serif MoviePlus trial is quite good - it just restricts the output file types alloweduch like wmm.
Installed codecs - nae luck 🙁
Robbo - thanks, will look into it.
Download Ubuntu Studio from [url= http://ubuntustudio.org/download/ ]HERE[/url] and run the dvd 'live', ie without installing it. Has a great video editor built in, Openshot, and some other good stuff! 🙂
Right, installed MoviePlus, seems pretty decent, think I'll have to spend £5 on the codec pack as it won't let me import GoPro mp4 files.
Lightworks beta.
Had a lay around with Lightworks a while back, for now I just want something simple I can quickly check edits together with, maybe in the future I'll try learn how to use LW!
Recently I've been using VirtualDub combined with AviSynth. A bit techy as it's all done with scripts rather than with a gui, but incredibly powerful (and actually quite simple to use).
