How can I work with D5600 60p MOV files in WMM???
“Hi all, I’ve recently picked up a Nikon D5600. Love it. I like to use it to take several-minute videos of my little son. I’d like to edit some of them in Movie Maker, and send it to Grandma. WMM is able to recognize my footage, but the editing process is not stable and reliable. Does anyone know a way to fix this? Thanks for any help.”
The Nikon D5600 can capture Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) or HD (1,280 x 720 pixel) movies using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression in a .MOV container, complete with Linear PCM audio. HD movies have a frame rate of 60 or 50 frames per second, while for Full HD capture, rates of 60, 50, 30, 25 or 24 frames per second are available.
If for whatever reason you are having issues editing D5600 60p MOV files in WMM, we would recommend converting the footage to HD WMV first. WMV is Movie Maker’s favorite editing format, which WMM will recognize and handle well. Here’s how.
