Windows Live Movie Maker - Adding Effects

In this video, Mahalo Windows expert Sean Hewitt shows you how to add effects using Windows Movie Maker.

Step 1: Setting Up Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is a certain length of footage you would like to add an effect to, split the clip into the piece you want to have the effect and the piece you don't. To do this, place your cursor (the thick, black, vertical line) at the point you want to split it and press the M key on your keyboard. Now click on the frame where you want the effect to occur.

Step 2: Add Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Open the Visual Effects tab on the top toolbar (next to the Home and Animations tab). Choose the effect you want and select it by clicking on it.
For some effects, like Hue Cycle, you can adjust the brightness on the right hand side of the visual effects tab. This effect in particular can make a photo of a sunset look like a time-lapse video of a sunset.

I soooo need to know how to edit, sometimes I think I go way too long with my dialogue so I feel I need to cut it a little. Need to check out all the rest of your tuts for that. Thanks!

In the basic free edition of Windows Live Movie Maker, I want to know how to overlay a movie image in my videos when I am talking about a movie. I want the movie image to fade in to my left or right on my videos as I am talking, and not just for the image to appear in between my movie frames as a separate frame. So far, despite much searching of tutorials on here, I can't find a single one that will help me do that. Can you?

[sasureuchiha]

could you make one with how to add gifs on to moviemaker, you know the little sense from a show, there like 5sec long. I just found out I have moviemaker on my new laptop its windows8. I'm just have trouble with that.

Can I have Chroma key effect with Windows Live Movie Maker? Thanks for answered me. Have a nice day.

I think for that you'll have to pay attention to where to cut the video and cut it, Then put the picture inbetween and put it back together, It's the only way that seems to work for me.

GREAT job...(mine is so amateur in comparison) hope I can learn from yours!

[brownstar]

what software did you use to create this video. I like the white back ground. How do you do it?

[louise]

pls make a video on how to add sound effects

[Millermacs]

Is there any way to add a picture to a video clip while the video is playing? I cant seem to find a way to.

[StephenMooreOfficial]

how do you change the hue. I don't want the hue to cycle thru all the colors... I just want one hue color.

[sonicstar]

why cant i stack effects ontop of eachother anymore? sometimes i like to do a combination of the hue cycle effect and the posterize effect?

[Alluvian]

I know this is an old video, but how did you get the time to show what I assume is the frame after the seconds... mine is just showing seconds and I really need ms or frame info

[MrDiversemedia]

is there a way to add an effect to one specific object on the page?

[tippytoetoli]

Thanks. Now if I can just find info on how to put a small slide show within the video.
