Hi everyone out there!
New member here. Hope someone can help me. I am in the process of making a photo slideshow in the Movie Maker. I downloaded a picture (I believe it's called an applet?). The picture is of rain and the rain is falling. I have always used still pictures and never had an issue. I downloaded the rain picture into my Pictures, and it's just fine. It has the rain falling there. But in the Movie Maker, when I drag the picture down to the video line, the picture won't move (the rain doesn't fall) in the video player. It becomes a still picture. Is there something I can do to remedy this? I've seen many videos on You Tube of slide shows with these type of applet or java pictures in them; I think it adds a nice touch. Sorry if this is a long post. Still learning about the movie maker and I would like to learn more. Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide.

Well, the picture is in GIF format? if so, it will be turned into still image. Maybe you could try convert GIF to wmv. I am not sure if there is such software.
