i finished making a gundam video but when i save it into a movie file and play it again in windows media player it only shows like half the vid. Like the top part is black and on the bottom i can see the vid normaly (but upside down). I am using avi vids and i already tried breaking up the amv into separte parts but nothing will work.

Are the clips you edited with encoded in XviD or DivX?

Maybe try first exportin' a smaller size version,to check if the same problem appears.

That doesn't mean anything :/ Editing programs, especially WMM, are finicky when it comes to XviD and DivX clips. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Check the codec you're working with. If you don't know how, download GSpot and drag your clips into it.

Well if that worked then ok...but in the future, it'd be smart to encode your clips to HuffYUV.
