Windows Live Movie Maker features an option to adjust the aspect ratio of your project, thus making it possible to fit your photo to the screen without displaying the vertical black bars on either side of the photo. As Windows Live Movie Maker is also used as a video editing program, it defaults to the 16:9 aspect ratio that is commonly used by video editors. Conveniently, however, Microsoft also recognizes that individuals use the application for photo-related projects that might feature a different aspect ratio and offers a 4:3 aspect ratio as well.
3.Click the 'Add Videos and Photos' button in the 'Add' section of the horizontal ribbon at the top of the window.
4.Browse to the photo that you want to fit to the screen in Windows Live Movie Maker, and then double-click the file.
5.Click the 'Project' tab at the top of the window.
6.Click the 'Standard' button in the 'Aspect Ratio' section of the ribbon.
Tip
- You can make adjustments to your photo using the Microsoft Paint program installed as part of your Windows 7 operating system, as Windows Live Movie Maker is not a photo editing application. Once your photo is opened in Paint, you can crop, resize and edit the image to suit your needs.
