Editing a movie very slightly

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I recently got hold of Watership Down (finally!), and watched it through, and loved it, though not inconditionally. I'd like to make a change in it, and I'd like to know how I'd go about doing that - with what tools.

I'd like to put the released version of "Bright Eyes" over the credits music, because I think it belongs there, just after Hazel's death and the lines "All the world will be your enemy, etc etc etc, first they must catch you" and so on.

I have the mp3 file of the song. I have the movie in AVI format. What now? I'm pretty sure I can do it if someone could point out the right tool(s)... hopefully free ones.

I don't know the movie... so... I don't know if the part you're talking about has music + sound fx + dialogues. IF this is the case, I have no idea how to divide these three and take out only the music. If you don't mind taking out everything and puting a new song no problem.

You can do what you want even at Windows Movie Maker. Just drag the file into WMM and then drag the mp3 (it takes mp3, yes) into the audio underneath. And when draging a movie file into WMM, usually the audio and the video are divided so you can just delete the original.

Was that what you wanted?
