Good day! I have a problem with my movie maker, I have done editing some video clips and when at the point of saving my work, the error showed "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard".
What's the best thing to do?
Attached is the image of the error.
Hi. You are encountering your Windows Movie Maker problem mainly because of two reasons. First, you may have deleted or moved the original video source files. Always bear in mind to never get rid of original files from their location since Window Movie Maker does not make local copy of the video which is used.
Moreover, if you are doing a bigger project with many videos and transitions, Windows Movie Maker will still not be able to save it even if you have maintained the source videos together. Movie Maker requires a great deal of RAM for larger projects. What you can do is to divide your videos into smaller sections and work on each of the section one by one. When done, combine all the videos together to get the final video.

Make sure that the sources of the movie that you are creating have not been moved, or deleted, or altered while you are creating the movie. The program needs the state with which the files were added to the movie to be the same when it compiles and save the entire movie.
Also make sure that the destination folder or the drive that you selected for the output has enough or more than enough free space to accommodate the resulting file. If it doesn't then the program won't be able to write to your disk and will therefore fail to save the output file.
