Ok....that is where the problem lies, did not save it, thought I did, I have the icon for what I thought was a saved version of the video but by moving my photos to a newer external drive, etc...the program cannot find them to restore the video...program seems to only save the file names but not the actual DVD files with it.
I didn't realize I didn't have the actual finished product to open up and play or edit down the road. That is how I tried to do this, thought I had my original project but I don't, didn't know that you cannot move photos away from where they came from while making the original project.
I tried to send a small clip of movie but could not, it is too big and I do not how to shorten it. As for HD Movie Maker, I do not have it.
So sorry, wish my problem was an easy one for everyone who tried to help me.
Take care and Thank you again
