If you watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn3et8fVCVA&list=UUYNyIJd1MvkA3qqHNpnDK7g">Transition Pack 4 - Sample Video</a> you'll see they are a series of cool twist transitions.<br />

These transitions require the use of <a href="http://www.rehanfx.org/shader.htm">Rehan's ShaderTFX</a> 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. <br/><br/>There are two installers depending on whether you are running <a href="http://goo.gl/B1eRC">WMM 6.0</a> on a <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions">64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows</a>.

After restarting Windows Movie Maker, you should have 7 new <b>Paper Fold</b> transitions with corresponding icons. They all look like the screen is being folded down the middle and then it opens up to the new clip. The only difference between the clips is the color background that appears. <br /><br />

These new installers will work for either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of WMM 6.0 (Vista) as well as WMM 2.x under XP.

Please follow the instructions for your specific version of Movie Maker.<br />

After restarting Windows Movie Maker, you should have 12 new transitions with corresponding icons:<br />
<li>Compositing (A add B) - for best results, one clip should be on a black background. Things like explosions, flames, snow fall, raindrops, etc. work best.</li><br />
<li>Show A, Show B - these just show clip A or clip B respectively. These are useful when you want to cut away to another clip without affecting the overall timing of your main clip.</li><br />
<li>Translucency 10% through 90% - these blend the two clips so you can see both at the same time.</li>Blainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06379274325110866036noreply@blogger.com133
