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
