Thanks guys. It was pretty frustrating to make, as windows movie maker wouldn't let me have add the video I had of me doing it. You could see me doing it but not hear me. But your comments made it all worth it!
My mom was walking by and freaked out 'cause she didn't know what I was doing. LOL. Very nice, now I know what a pterydactyl should sound like, haha. =P
Great. I've been waiting for this since I interviewed you months ago. It was worth the wait.
As to your technical problem, which version of movie maker are you using? I'm using version 5.1 (thanks, cinders!), and in that, you have three separate media "tracks": video, audio/music, and title. If you have something in "title" it will lay that over whatever you have in the video track (though you can control transparency). Similarly, if you have anything in the audio track, it will be blended with the audio from the video track (you can control the fade with the little button labeled "set audio levels"). If you want a title to appear and then disappear to reveal your video, you can either put it in the title track and set it up with transparency and then a fade, you can drag the right edge of the title item to whatever time marker you want (5 seconds, say), after which it will disappear, leaving only the video track, or you could create your title image outside of windows movie maker and then insert it in the video track before your actual footage (in that case there wouldn't be a transition, but it would work).
But I ramble. You've probably figured it out already; I haven't looked at your actual entry yet.
I am using 6.0. Thank you for the information. I will work with it a bit more before I submit my videos to the singing spot like we talked about in my other submission.
