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 on the icon above which will 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:
Note: These effects take advantage of the new effects architecture of Vista Movie Maker and therefore will not work in XP. They are Vista-only effects. For users of XP, you can achieve this same look manually: Fading between grayscale and color in XP Movie Maker

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.
