How do you change video size on windows movie maker?

Answer 1

You can't view in Full Screen mode in Windows Live Movie Maker. That feature is available in Windows Movie Maker v2.6 and earlier versions, but not in Windows Live Movie Maker.

______________________________________________________________

In the 'Project' tab on the top of the window, click in 16:9 aspect ratio

ten Just save your movie in which ever format you would like and it will render the video so it can be viewed in Full-Screen. :)

Hi, new answer. When you get to the windows live movie maker movie editor, there will be a bar that goes up and down next to the video. The farther you drag out, the bigger the video is. Also, you can publish to your computer and watch it from the finished file. The bar should be in between the drag photos and videos here and the video itself. The max screen is when you publish it though. I'm not a computer nerd or anything, but I !

UPDATE:

Hmmmm. I believe the question was regarding 'full screen'function in Windows Live Movie Maker. The 'bar' the answerer above is refering to only increases the viewing pane to its maximum output... which is not 'True Fullscreen"

In WLMM, you can increase/decrease the size of media thumbnails and viewing area, but not in the same manner as in the v2.6 version. In the earlier version, when you activate the full-screen mode, the entire project fits the screen - without the inclusion of the imported media pane (thumbnails) or program ribbon.

So. if you are wondering if you can get a 'True' fullscreen view in Windows Live Movie Maker, you can't. Even if you move the bar completely one way or the other, the media pane and Edit Ribbon will still be visible.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

If you're talking about editing a widescreen movie and the final movie has black all around the video, change the aspect ration in Project tab, Aspect Ratio to match the Widescreen. Then when you save the movie, the black around the video will be gone. Hope this helps...

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you mean by changing the size, so I am going to assume you want a smaller file size. To do that, select the desired format size when Finishing/Publishing the video.

Windows Live Movie Maker gives you the option of size (example: for email, ect.)

If you are attempting to change the screen dimensions of your video, it can't be done in the program (as far as I know). That feature is available on other applications you can purchase, but not Windows Movie Maker.
