1. Setting: Click on the setting’s drop-down list. You either can choose, “<New>,” to start from scratch or select any of the existing settings from the list.
2. Name: Give this new export setting a name (for example, Wild China).
3. Width & Height: Enter your source file’s original width as well as height. If you wish to export your video at a smaller frame size, edit these values. If you aren’t sure, leave them as-is.
4. Bit rate: This can affect the level of detail in your video. Although lower bit rates lead to smaller file sizes and faster uploads, you had better set this higher for improved quality.
5. Frame rate: This will affect the smoothness of motion and animations in your video. For basic slideshows you can choose 24fps because photos don’t have to be particularly high. For full motion video it’s not usually necessary to go above 30fps.
6. Audio format: Click on the drop-down list and select the audio settings you want. The higher the bit rate (kbps), the better the quality, but it also means a bigger file size. 192 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo is considered CD quality, but 128kbps is passable for video.

Step 5. Check the estimated file size.

As long as you make an adjustment on the settings an estimated file size is displayed at the bottom of the window. The higher you set them, the better the quality and the file size will be larger. Of course, the quality won’t exceed the source material.

Step 6. Click Save after you finish these settings. Then, your video will be saved as a Windows Movie Maker video settings file (.wlvs). After saving, you will find that this file will be added to your list of video settings in the Save movie menu as shown below.
