I tried the image thing, I go into windows live photo gallery and crop it to the widescreen setting, i click crop, and it crops the picture as i thought it would. But when i bring it into Windows Live Movie Maker ’11, The Image is the same as if i never cropped it. I change the aspect ratio to 16;9 and the image is still square with huge black bars on the sides. any solutions?
Remember to close the file and save the image, prior to reimporting it to Windows Live Movie Maker.

I want to make some slide shows and all my photos are very high resolution – 2MG and above; Please can you tell me if it is necessary to resize them or will cropping them to the desired ratio suffice? I plan to save the show to DVD to share with friends/family to view on their TV’s. I have gained some valuable information from the tutorials – thank you!

When i take a video from youtube i try to remove the black bars using the 16:9 or 4:3 ratio in Windows Movie Maker. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Any ideas what the problem is that some videos i can get a full screen without the black bars and some i can’t. Thank you.

My photos are already cropped. I have imported the folder into Windows Photo Gallery. I have double clicked a photo. Clicked crop. Gone to widescreen. Have the “crop tool” in landscape. But The crop box will not allow me to include the parts of the photo I want to select.
I had the same concern as Patrick. My photos had already been Photo-shopped so I rescanned them and the crop tool then opened. Also it seems that if a photo is square, it is not possible to get rid of the black borders, am I right?

Is there away around the black background with pictures that were taken with an iphone and are mostly portrait? I tried your method but too much of the picture is cropped.

The rolling credits I have attached to my movie are fine when I play them back on the storyboard but when I save the movie the last half the credits disappear when played on the finished movie. I have tried adjusting the lengths of clip and credits but still does not work. Any thoughts?

It’s always safe to use the standard 4:3. It really depends on where you are viewing it on a widescreen or a standard screen.

I still have black bars on the sides after following all of these steps.
Is there a way to prevent WMM 2102 from “blowing up” images to the formatted (4:3) ratio? I want a logo image to appear on screen and zoom in (or out) without it being the full screen.

I looked everywhere and couldn’t find how to fix it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I could never ignore the black sides, and my animations looked terrible with them! But thank you so much for getting rid of them!
