Default Re: Movie maker Question

There are no other programs that can use Movie Maker project files.... you
have two choices...

1.. render each of the projects to movies and import the 3 movies as source
files for your larger project.

2.. copy and paste the contents of the 3 projects to a single project....
use standard Windows copy/paste commands and toggle back and forth between
the projects as needed.

Use Control-A to select all the clips on the timeline > Control-C to copy
them > Control-V to paste them into the other project. Two or three trips
between each project will get them all into you combined large one.
