I'm sad because I also made a Matt G promo video...my first ever video I made by myself...and I couldn't figure out how to get my movie maker to render it as a video file in time to upload it for the contest I know it is a little late, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? If I do get it fixed I will still post it to show some Matt G love, and would also love to get some feedback since it's my first video! Well I'm off to watch the other videos...good luck to everyone that submitted one!!

Oh, I wish you would have let us know earlier- we could have tried to help you out
What format did you create it in - ie what video maker did you use?

unfortunately I don't have internet at home either. I have to go to the library and I don't always get to go cuz of work but I used windows movie maker. I even had my uncle try to help me out and he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. I think it might have something to do with my flash drive that I used to save the files. I'm still learning, hehe. Hopefully the next street team mission will go smooth for me, lol.
