Importing Effects and Transitions Movie

Once you have found that effect or transition that you can't live without, you will need to copy the code provided on the post into an empty Notepad document.

In order for Windows movie Maker to interpret your new effect or transition, you must save the Notepad document where you pasted the code into, ensuring that the file-name is saved with an xml extension. Following the next 3 steps will ensure that your new effects file gets saved properly.

1. Select "File" from the file menu in Notepad and click on "Save". When the "Save" dialog box pops up, click the drop-down box next to "Save as type" and select "All Files".

2. In the text box next to "File name", you can use any name you wish as long as you add ".xml" at the end (ie. yourfilename.xml).

3. Browse to the folder that you created earlier (C:\Program Files\movie Maker\Shared\ADDonTFX) and click the "Save" button.

If you followed the three steps above correctly, you will have successfully added a new effect or transition to Windows movie Maker. You can access your new effect or transition the same way you access any other once you're inside of Windows movie Maker.

Have fun with your new Windows movie Maker effects and transitions and happy movie making!
