Adding subtitles to Windows MovieMaker video

50Twuncle · 14 September 2017 at 10:08AM

I am trying to add subtitles to a Windows Movie Maker 6.0 video - and am stuck
ALL that I can do is to add TITLES and CREDITS (less than 2 lines per frame)
I believe that there is a way to do it - but how ?
http://www.wikihow.com/Add-Subtitles-to-a-Movie-in-Windows-Movie-Maker gives instructions - but I am using version 6.0 - not 2012- MS have blocked Win 10 from downloading the latest version !!

Thanks - but that is NOT an MS link - it takes me to WAYBACKMACHINE - Which I have no idea as to its source - is it safe / virus ridden ?

Check again, it's the original Microsoft link, archived.

And Windows 10 does allow you to have Movie Maker as part of Live Essentials 2012 - it won't install but I found and posted a workaround on here. And I work in IT too.

The Wayback Machine is just basically a way of looking at sites as they were in the old days or when they existed. On occasion as demonstrated here it's picked up a lot of useful other information too

Seems that the web archive was mentioned and linked to in your thread asking about Movie Maker in August.
