Should you need further assistance, please feel free to post back. The file size of videos that have been saved as movie may also depend on what settings you've chosen (Recommended, Recent, Common, Phone and device settings, Tablet, Website, Audio only, and Custom settings). Files that have been saved as a project have lower file size compared toįiles saved as movie. When you save your file as a project, you'll still have the option to edit this video once it has been saved however, if you save your file as a movie, you can no longer edit this. Now, as for your "video movie" that was only 4.01 KB before editing, may I ask if this is the exact size of the video? What exactly did you mean when you said "Before editing"? Also, kindly note that in Movie Maker, you have the option to save your file First off, please be informed that if you want your video to be played on TV, you must save it first as a movie in Movie Maker by pressingĪlt + F, M then choose the setting that you prefer.
