For a while now i have wanted to put togethor a youtube vid with music and writing etc
I have a whole lot of short vids i have taken over a couple of years and want to add them togethor.
I have already loaded up a normal single vid with no music but just need to find out how to add them all togethor?

Thanks in advance TIM.

IF you have windows xp or vista just use Movie Maker to import all the clips into one movie.

You can add music cut & change etc.

Its fairly easy to use and very good for beginners and perfect for making youtube videos.

Thanks mate
I already have movie maker, but for some reason it doesn't want to import the vids or pics from our camera, it will do both pics and vids on my brothers camera and my crappy video camera, but it just doesn't want to have anything to do with the pics/vids taken by our camera
Anyone else had this problem?

Yes, MM doesnt seem to support Quicktime

It'll be a driver issue. What OS are you running, is it up to date and have you installed the latest driver from your camera manufacturer's website?

If you're running Vista with an old camera you may have issues.

Cheers.

Our computer is almost new and we run xp not vista, our camera isn't old either

OS = Operating System aka windows xp, windows Vista, Linux, Unix etc etc

As you have xp and current hardware it might be worth checking the service pack level of your OS.

right click on "My Computer", click on properties. It should be at least service pack 2 but service pack 3 has been out for a while now.

Thanks mate
it says we have service pack 3
Do i need to update this?

You'll need to convert the videos to *.wmv or mpg before you use Movie Maker. Save the video files to your PC using whatever software came with your camera and then convert it to the correct format using something like Prism Video Converter Software - Download to Convert Video Files.

Should be fine after that.
