jpg problem

i import the image just fine, but wmm2 puts it in the center of the frame and
surround it w/ black. is there a way i can either change the background to
white or any other color, or make the image take up the entire screen?

also i want to make an image rotating, or"swiveling" is there a way i can do
this or does anyone knwo how i can make my image a gif and import it that
way??

thank you

If you don't want any black borders you need to crop the image such that it
aligns with the 4:3 aspect ratio of standard mode, or the 16:9 of
widescreen.

Rotating or swiveling images are effects done with other software.... Movie
Maker is entry level software and limited.

If by 'swiveling' you mean rotating 90 degrees, then I highly recommend
IrfanView, a free download from www.irfanview.com, for both your cropping
and your swiveling.

Hi there,

Check out MovieDV ver 5 from www.aist.de It allows movement / rotation
through all 3 Axis and has 11 simultaneous video tracks and audio
tracks...it does a lot more of course (Check out SPLIT VIDEO on my website)
You might be able to find its little brother (which also does swivel/rotate)
on cover disks of PC UTILITIES or similar mags....its a great program.

Best Wishes..... John Kelly

Is the rotation dynamic or static ?
For static rotation if you know exact rotation parameters you can create a
custom rotate effect.

For example the following code makes 3 rotation effects, two dynamic and one
static 23 degree clockwise rotation effect:

<TransitionsAndEffects Version="1.0" >
<Effects>
<EffectDLL guid="{B4DC8DD9-2CC1-4081-9B2B-20D7030234EF}">
<Effect name="Rotate Clockwise" iconid="74" >
<Param name="InternalName" value="Simple3D" />
<Param name="RotateA" value="right" />
</Effect>
<Effect name="Rotate Anti-Clockwise" iconid="74" >
<Param name="InternalName" value="Simple3D" />
<Param name="RotateA" value="left" />
</Effect>
<Effect name="Rotate 23 degree" iconid="74" >
<Param name="InternalName" value="Simple3D" />
<Param name="RotateA" value="right" />
<Param name="Progress" value="0.063888888888888888888888888888889" />
</Effect>
</EffectDLL>
</Effects>
</TransitionsAndEffects>

Copy paste the code above to notepad and save as "c:\program files\movie
maker\shared\addontfx\rotate.xml". restart WMM.

Unfortunately WMM interface does not allow one to adjust Effects /
Transitions parameters interactively.

If the AddOnTFX folder does not exist, then just create it there.
