I've just reworked my prior "Dreamy Look" overlay so it works in XP and Vista. Here's a sample Dreamy Look Video
Note: This title has been designed to work with either the XP version or the Vista version of Movie Maker.
Click on the image above which will download the custom Dreamy Look title overlay. Run the installer (CustomDreamyLook) and it will install the custom XML code and the image file you'll need.
To use the new title
Go to 'Tools' > 'Titles and Credits' > 'Title on the selected clip'.Type the text you want to appear below the photo as a caption or, if you don't want any text, type a single space.Click on 'change the title animation'.Under your list of one line titles should be a new one called Dreamy LookPick 'Dreamy Look', then click 'Done'.Stretch the title so that it extends for the length of your video.You might want to apply the "Fade In From White" and "Fade Out To White" effects to your clip, so that it starts and ends on a full white frame.

Blaine: This site is invaluable! I am working on a newsletter for our subscribers at MyVisualPitch.com, a new site where screenwriters and musicians can upload Visual Pitches of their scripts (or music videos of themselves or their band) to SHOW a project before it gets made.
The site is marketed and exclusively accessible to industry professionals (except for the Featured Visual Pitches that play on the home page). It's the next step in pitching projects to the entertainment industry, and has struck a chord with artists looking to get their work noticed.
With your permission, I'd love to reference some of your posts and provide a link back to your site for all users who build their Visual Pitches on a PC (I use Macs, so I'm not very good at offering tips to my Windows people).
Please email me at pamela@myvisualpitch.com so we can discuss.
Thanks for this great resource.
Blaine-
Like the new look and feature of your site!

どういたしまして (douitashi mashite)
Cool effect!Though there seems to be one problem,I cant seem to drag the rectangle representing the title and make it longer. By the way do you need a special software to make Movie Maker effects? Thanks
Are you grabbing the righthand side? It works fine for me. Can you provide more info such as whether you are on XP or Vista?
Well i'm using XP version. I just found something out, it's working for some clips and not for others...
Anything unusual about the clips that aren't working? For example some incompatible clip types like DivX and XviD can cause weirdness in WMM.
No nothing unusual that I can think of. Though they were created using Hypercam 2. Sorry for the late reply
Perhaps there is some incompatibility in whatever codec/filter Hypercam 2 uses to encode the video. Also, if the clip is too big (too high a resolution) perhaps it is too much for your system? Just grasping since I don't have any experience with Hypercam 2.
Somehow I got it to work =). Thanks for the help and awesome website!
