Vista Movie Maker comes with standard effects to apply a grayscale or sepia tone effect to your pictures or video, but one thing it lacks is an easy way to have video gradually fade to or from grayscale or sepia to full color. I've created a package of custom effects that let you add this ability to Windows Movie Maker.
Click this link to download the custom color fade effects. Run the installer and it will install the custom code you'll need for Vista Movie Maker.After installing, you'll have the following new color fade effects:

Your effects look like they would be great, unfortunately, I can not get them to show up in movie maker.
I have followed your instructions about installing the necessary run times, just no luck.
I am using movie maker ver. 6.0.6000.16386. Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Any ideas?
I am new to movie maker so please bear with me.
I figured it out! Your installer loads the effect into the Program Files(x86)\Movie Maker instead of the Program Files\Movie Maker. I forgot that 64 bit has 2 separate Program File locations, 1 for 32 bit and 1 for 64 bit. Thanks anyway, the effects work great.
Blaine...I have downloaded your custom fade effects as well as the "desaturate.xlm" code off the forum. I'm still getting a black screen when applying them. The effects do show up in the effects list. Any suggestions?
Does it happen on all video clips and pictures? What level of pixel shader support does your graphics card have? Have you gotten other custom effects to work?
I figured it out!!! The installer put everything in the "Program Files(x86) area and I only moved two (2) of the files to the right directory. I failed to move the .fx file which was in the Shared folder. It work great!!! Thanks for something I have been struggling with for days. For some reason, when I save my .mov files with WLMM, the saturation level is too high. Looks good until it is saved. Now I can work with the wmv files and adjust as needed.
