Multiple Audio Tracks

If you want to add multiple audio tracks to your movie, you have a problem. This can not be done.
But we have a simple trick.

 

To add a second audio track to your project, you must first save your project as a movie.
Just click the button “Movie Maker” (1) in the menu bar, choose “Save Movie” (2) in the drop-down menu, and select “for high-definition display” (3).
Why “High-definition”
Well, whenever you save the project as “Movie” some quality is lost in there. So when you save it as high definition, you lose the least quality.

Then open a new project by pressing the button “Movie Maker” in the menu bar, and select “New Project” in the drop-down menu.
If you wish, save your movie project that you have created.
If you do not, you can not edit this later.

 

In the new project, click the button “Video or photograph” (1).
Select the newly saved video.
This adds the stored “High-definition” movie to our project (A).
Click the button “Add Music” (2), and import the sound file you want to insert.
You’ve just added a second audio track to your movie (B).

Mixing of soundtracks and audio

When you inserted videos into your project that have audio tracks added in the background, you can mix.

Select the “Project” tab and click the button “audio mix.”
When this button is clicked, a scroll bar appears with two icons.
The left icon (1) for the background of the video, right icon (2) for the imported audio track.

If you move the slider to the left, the background of the video gets louder, if you move it to right, the inserted audio track gets louder.

By experimenting with this, you can bring the sound to foreground or background.
Click the button “Play” to watch the video and listen.

Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Live Photo Gallery

When you use Windows Live Photo Gallery to see photos and movies, this program lets you create and organize all the photos and videos on your computer directly into Windows Live Movie Maker.

To do this open Windows Live Photo Gallery, and select the tab “Create”.
Navigate to the pictures on your computer you wish to insert into Windows Live Movie Maker, and select them (1).
Then click the “Movie” in the ribbon (2).
