What do you mean by empty? When you try to load an IEL, do you get an error, or does nothing at all appear in the library window in SE?

What extension are the files you’re trying to bring in to MovieMaker?

Usually the only files that will have the wondertouch icon will be IPF or IP3 files, which you have to render to AVI or an image sequence before you can open in an editing program.

If your graph, library and hierarchy windows are arranged in a way that they cut off part of the stage, pI will automatically zoom the stage down before it starts rendering. So you really need to just grab the borders around the stage window, and resize it so that your stage area is larger than 720×486 before you hit render. If you’re using pI3, hit Alt+3 before you render. That sets the stage to full screen, and will ensure the stage isn’t too small to render at the proper size.
