But when my video finishes the song goes on and I don't know how to stop it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zMPb8DQrmI I've tried Menu - Audio - fadeout, but these functions are locked. Grateful for some advice. Thanks

To rescue the situation: Save an AVI file of just the video....delete the sound track for now. Once you have a .AVI file nice and safe...copy it and back it up! Then try a new project in movie maker.....then go to its settings and or options and resent to defaul everything you can see and or find. Once you have done that, import your saved .AVI video file onto teh video line. Then try the sound track again...making sure it is impordted into the project.. put the natural end to the track at the end of the video....then drag the track out all the way to the beginning of the video....and select fade IN. Hope that helps or works somehwere along the line

(if the music is longer, it trims the end, if the video is longer, it shortens the picture duration) hope that helps. these things are easy to show to someone but not easy to describe . lol
