Are you using Windows Movie Maker to edit your home videos? Have you ever wanted to add the TV Ratings to the top of your home videos? I created a set of custom titles that can be used in Windows Movie Maker to add the various TV Ratings (Y, Y7, G, PG, 14, MA) to the top left corner of your video.
Note: This package of titles has been updated to work both with Windows XP and Windows Vista versions of Movie Maker.
Click on the rating logo above which will download the custom titles for TV Ratings. Run the installer (CustomTVRatings) and it will install the custom XML code and the image files you'll need.To use the new titles, go to 'Tools' > 'Titles and Credits' > 'Title on the selected clip' > 'change the title animation'. Under your list of one line titles should be 6 new ones called:
If you want an additional subtitle, type it into the text fields, otherwise just type a single space. Click 'Done'.

I have a mac, so i need one for i-movie? do u have any tips?
Thank you soooo much. I am doing a movie for my Godmother's husband who is turning 69. I wanted to do a Rated GF for Grown Folk. How can I do this?
(deleted last post) Oh alright I just figured out how to make custom ones, there's probably a nicer way but this still works, and involves no coding or anything.
1. Install Blaine's icons.
2. Open up the directory My Computer > Local Disk C: > Program Files > Movie Maker > Shared > AddOnTFX.
3. Here are all of the image file used, make a copy of all of them so you can always get them back. You can keep them in the same folder, it won't matter.
4. Now take one of the original images and open it up with Paint or whatever, and edit it to say or show whatever you like. I bet you could even just have a new picture in there all together if you copy/paste it. When you're done, save it as the original filename.
5. Now whenever you open WMM2 and go to where you would normally find the TV Ratings to add in, select the one that you edited, and your edited picture will be in there.
If you ever want the original back, just copy/paste the copy you made in step 3 back into Paint. (I'm sure ya know what I mean.)
i had these working once but WMM wasnt because of another program i ahd installed, so i deleted these but now MM works but these wont install and dont work anymore. any ideas on why they dont work?
I love this. I can't wait to get home and add it on our computer. Thank you. You guys are all awesome for helping all of us out. I couldn't be doing any Movie Maker or Photo Story without all of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am sending you this note because I am making a conscious effort to thank people who offer their services, advice, and help on the internet to amateurs like me. If it weren't for you and countless like you-- the internet and computer would be a limited and frustrating experience. Thanks for helping out!
