Does anyone know how to make WMM run at 12 FPS? I can only do 8 and 16 with it.

Never mind, I found a way to do it. But if there is an easier way than changing the pictures manually to 0.33 seconds each, saving the movie, and then speeding it up twice, could anyone say something about how to do it?

I made the movie with the Windows Movie Maker, does anyone know how I can change the timeline of all the pictures to a same timeline without editing the pictures one by one ?

i would also like to know how you can change all the photos to a quicker timescale because i am using up to 300 pictures just for a simple animation, and it would take years to change every picture individually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to "tools"

Then click on "options"

In the dialog box that opens, click on the "advanced" tab

There you can set the picture duration. Maximum frame rate by this method is 8 frames per second, but with skill, 12, 16, 24, or 32 frames a second can be achieved. The higher frame rates, of course, take more work to force windows movie maker into using.

for changing the length of each picture is done as above, BUT i found out that you must do it before you add the pictures to the timeline or it wont work!

Hope that helps.

I have found an easier way to achieve 12/24fps, though it requires more save/importing.

Setting the picture duration to 21 seconds and speeding up (doubling) all the pictures 6 times, saving the movie, and then speeding up that movie by two times for 12fps and three for 24 fps.

Of course, people may think that speeding up all the pictures would be tedious, but after speeding up only one picture 6 times, go to storyboard mode, copy the effect (ctrl-c), select all the other pictures, and paste (ctrl-v) to instantly apply the effect. I hope this helps for aspiring Windows Movie Makers.
