=**What to do next: Very Important**=

1. Before you make your movie, you must first create a folder on your computer that will contain all of the media (images, video segments & music) to be used for you movie. //(Not sure how to do this? Click// [|//here//]//)// **Once the folder is created, copy all of the files to be used by the movie into it.**

2. Most computers do not have enough RAM to work with large image (~1MB) files during the movie. Check the file size of the images and reduce them using a Photoediting program such as GIMP or Photoshop if they are too large.

3. Make sure the images, movie segments and music are in a format that Movie maker recognizes. A description of file extensions can be found [|here].
