Blaine's Film Looks Effects for Windows Movie Maker

The following effects can be used to give your video more of a "film look". There are 9 different film looks available. These effects work with Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (either under Vista or Windows 7).

To see a side-by-side comparison of each of the effects, check out Sample Video of Blaine's Film Look Effects

To add the Film Looks Effects to Windows Movie Maker, there are two installers depending on whether you are running WMM 6.0 on a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows. The installer will put the necessary files into C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared.

Windows Movie Maker 6.0:
Blaine's Film Looks (64-bit) Installer
Blaine's Film Looks (32-bit) Installer

After restarting Windows Movie Maker, you should have 9 new Film Look effects with corresponding icons:

Film Look - Bleach Bypass - simulates a common film printing process that results in higher contrast, lower saturation.

Film Look - Contrast - a higher contrast film look.

Film Look - Desaturation - a lower saturation film look.

Film Look - Enhance Colors - 6 color profile enhancements.

*Note: These transitions require the architecture of WMM 6.0 and can't be made to work on versions 2.6 or earlier.

Blaine's Custom Transitions Pack 1 Released (Windows Movie Maker 6.0 only)

As a gift to you, I'm releasing a pack of new transitions for Windows Movie Maker 6.0*. These transitions require the use of Rehan's ShaderTFX add-on. If you've never installed this before, follow the directions on his website and test they work first. If you've already installed a copy of ShaderTFX (registered or unregistered), you can skip these steps.

For the new transitions pack, there are two installers depending on whether you are running WMM 6.0 on a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows. The installer will put the necessary files into, C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared.
