After a bit of snooping, I discovered there is a parameter to control this angle. As a result I decided to create this pack of Wow! Title variations so you can decide the angle (even upside down!)<br /><br/>

There are 4 different variations, but feel free to examine to XML to make your own variants.
To use one of the new titles:<br />
Go to 'Tools' > 'Titles and Credits' > 'Title <b>on</b> the selected clip'.<br />
Type your text in the first box.<br />
Click on 'change the title animation'.<br />
Under your list of one line titles, pick the desired variant:<br />
<br />
<li>Wow! Tilt Up</li>
<li>Wow! Tilt Down</li>
<li>Wow! Straight</li>
<li>Wow! Upside-down</li>
<br />

It starts with a solid background and a title (such as the name of the location, or the words "The Simpsons"). Through that you can see the video, after a few seconds the words expand toward the screen and you can see the full video behind. Here's a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSPK6yryaX0&list=UUYNyIJd1MvkA3qqHNpnDK7g">sample video</a> to help you visualize it.<br />

<li>Alias Title</li><br />
As with other titles, you can change the font and other styling attributes. For the best results, pick a big, bold font like Arial Black. Note: the color you choose for the font will actually be the color of the background, since the video and text are reversed.<br />
Finally, click 'Done'.<br />
<br />
A couple additional things you might want to do. If you want the title to take longer, stretch it to the right. I added the 'Fade In from White' effect to the video so that the text would start white.<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. The Vista versions require you to download <a href="http://www.rehanfx.org/shader.htm">Rehan's ShaderTFX</a> add-on; XP does not. Please follow the instructions for your specific version of Movie Maker.<br />
<br />
Click here, for a sample video of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUYNyIJd1MvkA3qqHNpnDK7g&v=B9dd2r4cHpA">Compositing and Translucency Transitions</a>.<blockquote><b>Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (64-bit):</b><br />
You must first install the latest <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3">Direct X Runtimes</a> and then <a href="http://www.rehanfx.org/shader.htm">Rehan's ShaderTFX (64-bit)</a>. You don't need a registered copy, just the trial will work. Verify that those new transitions are working as expected.<br />
Next, run the <a href="http://home.wavecable.com/~movieblog@astound.net/Downloads/BlaineBlends64.msi">Blaine Blends (64-bit) Installer</a></blockquote><br />
<blockquote><b>Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (32-bit):</b><br />
The instructions are similar to the 64-bit version. You must first install the latest <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3">Direct X Runtimes</a> and then <a href="http://www.rehanfx.org/shader.htm">Rehan's ShaderTFX (32-bit)</a>.

Next, run the <a href="http://home.wavecable.com/~movieblog@astound.net/Downloads/BlaineBlends32.msi">Blaine Blends (32-bit) Installer</a></blockquote><br />
<blockquote><b>Windows Movie Maker 2.x (XP):</b><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.com133tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19826224.post-37900657198362958962007-12-16T04:22:00.001-08:002016-11-18T09:18:45.744-08:00Custom 'Directed By' Title<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUYNyIJd1MvkA3qqHNpnDK7g&v=katttjjymEM"><img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://home.wavecable.com/~movieblog@astound.net/mrspock.jpg" border="0" alt="'Directed By' Video Sample"/></a>There was a request on the forums for a two-line title where the first line was smaller than the second and where the spacing was a little tighter.

Using this technique, you can easily overlay an image of a TV screen, for example.

<br />
<i><b>Note: </b>These titles will work in WMM 2.1 (XP) and WMM 6.0 (Vista).

If you find that you need more control over the speed, you can download these custom Speed Effects with different incremental speeds.<br />

Have you ever wanted to add the TV Ratings to the top of your home videos? I created a set of custom titles that can be used in Windows Movie Maker to <a href="http://movies.blainesville.com/search/label/overlay">overlay</a> the various TV Ratings (Y, Y7, G, PG, 14, MA) to the top left corner of your video. <br />

<blockquote>Click on the soccer ball above which will <a href="http://home.wavecable.com/~movieblog@astound.net/Downloads/soccerball.exe">download the custom soccer ball titles</a>. Run the self-extracting executable (soccerball) and it will install the custom XML code and the image files you'll need.</blockquote>To use the new titles, go to 'Tools' > 'Titles and Credits' > 'Title <b>on</b> the selected clip' > 'change the title animation'. Under your list of one line titles should be 4 new ones called:<br />
<li>Soccer Ball (spins out, video shrinks)</li><br />
<li>Soccer Ball (spins out)</li><br />
<li>Soccer Ball (zoom, no spin)</li><br />
<li>Soccer Ball (slide to side)</li><br />
<br />
I've got some ideas for additions, but I wanted to get these out to those that were requesting them.
