Good job. But I have released the crop effects earlier: Crop for WMM6 ;-)
Furthermore as mentioned earlier I would like to point out that the resize doesnt really work for stretching a "video clip" that is 4:3 to 16:9 frame ratio. It stretches the picture inside 4:3 frame but output remains within 4:3 with two black borders. Try it with any sample video: While in 16L9 mode (From tools->options->advanced), place a sample video clip into timeline. It shows with two black borders on the sides. Now apply your effect. It changes the aspect rati of the pixels but the two black borders remain in place. |

Rehan,
I reworked the Stretch to Widescreen... would you test it again? Also, I overlooked your Cropping effects before but have added them to the pinned post (view post 126998). Let me know if there are others I missed. |

Rehan, I tested my Resize: Stretch to Widescreen effect and it *is* working. I think you were looking at the old one which we know doesn't work. The new one uses a vertex shader to stretch it bigger than 4:3.
Here's a Resize to Widescreen Sample Video. The black bars on top and bottom are placed there by PutFile when they playback widescreen clips. It is a 16:9 video using 4:3 clips. |

Blaine. Yes its working alright. Well done.
However your maths is a bit confusing and perhaps spurious. The reason it is working is because you used two passes... (a nice trick!)
Basically any simple scaling as the one you provided before would work if applied in the second pass.
I changed your shader technique to:
technique ResizerScale
{
pass P0
{
VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS_Basic();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS_Basic();
}
pass P1
{
VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS_Scale();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS_Basic();
}
}
from
technique ResizerScale
{
pass P0
{
VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS_Basic();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS_Resizer();
}
pass P1
{
VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS_Scale();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS_PanZoom();
}
}
and it works fine as well.
But nevertheless you have hit upon the right idea by using multi-pass. |

I downloaded and installed your package but i cannot see any new effects or anything in WMM. I am running Vista and WMM V6.6.6000.16386 if that helps.
Basically my camera for some reason has always filmed in 16:9 but i think it is in reality filming in 4:3 and just adding bars to create the right aspect ratio. WMM is then double barring it which looks stupid as all h*ll. I am hoping this package can help me overcome WMM double cropping my movies.
Thanks in Advance. |

Rehan's "Crop for WMM6" installed fine and works. Even though it is not the effect i was after it shows me that i can actually install 3rd party addons. So im thinking either the .MSI file i downloaded off your website isnt installing properly or there is some other issues. Im not a big fan of the .msi entension because i always seem to run into problems with them. If you can be bothered could you possibly release a .exe installer?
The movie is for a comp and it would be really good if i could have it in a decent aspect ratio :P
Thanks again. |

| Crop effects do not use custom DLL and therefore its successful installation cannot say anything about those custom effects packages that use custom DLL such as my ShaderTFX or Blaines' package. |

| the spin transition. isn't there one? like because if you make the clip a little smaller, then add the spin transition it looks a little better. |

I've just found this effects package and it works really well and has stopped me tearing my remaining hair out!
It makes WMM far more useful and why such effects weren't included in the first place is a total mystery to me.
Thank you very very much for all your hard work. |

| Also after saving it, right click on the file, click on properties and on the General tab, click unblock, then ok. You should be able to install after that. |

Hey,
I tried all the suggestions above, but I can not locate the Resize Effects option anywhere. After downloading, should it appear under effects in Windows Movie Maker? When I try Import Media Items, I get the following message:
"The file C:\Users\Downloads\CustomResize(5).msi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again."
What can I do? I'm going nuts not being able to adjust all clips in my movie to one screen size!
Thank you!

| You are suppose to "Double Click" the file "C:\Users\Downloads\CustomResize(5).msi" Its an installer that installs Considerate guy's re-size effects, then they will appear in movie maker. |

Re: Vista Resize Effects

| The .msi installation file is required. It registers and installs the files to the correct places. And if your computer won't allow you to download then, you must not be admin? It would be useless if he gave you the "actual codes" anyway because you need admin privileges to move the file to make these work. |

Re: Vista Resize Effects

| If you can add your own effects to WMM then you must be admin, because you need write privileges to be able to create files inside the shared directory. (%programsfiles%\movie maker\shared\) How did you get the code to this without installing, it isn't just floating around the net somewhere... (At least i think...) |

Re: Vista Resize Effects

Posting the XML code will not work!
Blaines install registers files and installs an additional FX file using Pixel Shaders. If the installer isn't working for you, copy and pasting the xml won't because the installer does certain things to make it work, such as installing extra files and registering them
Long story short:
Copy and pasting the xml code into AddOnTFX won't work.
If the installer is giving you an error let someone know, or me here and someone can help you. If it isn't giving you an error please let me know if you are on 32-bit or 64-bit computer and have Vista SP1 installed. |

Re: Vista Resize Effects

Hi Everyone. I have been trying to Get Blaines Effects as well as Rahans Shader TFX and associated Effects and transitions to work. I am using Windows Movie Maker version 6, on Windows Vista 64 Bit Addition. I can see all of the installations in the shared folder but Nothing appears when I run Windows Movie Maker. I have Installed Blaines effects and Rahans Shader just fine on My Laptop which Runs Vista 32 Bit addition. I have not found any information relating to windows 64 bit addition. Will none of this work on the 64 Bit addition? Is there something I am Missing? This has become very frustrating as My computer with the 64 Bit Vista is a quad core and I was looking forward to the editing experience without such problems. Can someone please comment on Vista 64 and its limitations or refer me somewhere I can get answers.
Thank You |

| Unfortunately ShaderTFX and the resizer installer will not install correctly on 64-bit computers. So no they won't work on your 64-bit computer at the moment |

| Yea the resizing effects will still work, but the installers won't. ShaderTFX will never work until Rehan has made changes to it. Because ShaderTFX has to register DLL files, while resizing does not. |

Thank You Movie Maker Kid. But I Havent gotten anything to work on Vista 64 Bit. Your down loads appear to be installed in the shared folder but still do not show up either When I Open Windows Movie Maker. I also copied one earthquake Xml from this forumn and placed it in Both Shared folders. But when I open windows Movies Maker All I see are the original included effects and transitions that come with Movie Maker.Can someone share links to what effects and transitions absolutely work and how you got them to work?
Thanks. again In advance. |

Your welcome. My installers don't require any DLL files to be registered so they will work on 64-bit computers. The problem is, a lot of my transitions and effects require ShaderTFX to be installed to work correctly. But to help you out...
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Movie Maker\Shared
"Right click" on the "AddOnTFX" folder and select "Copy"
Then navigate to C:\Program files\movie maker\shared
Then "right click" inside the folder and select "Paste" (or CTR+V) |

I have Previously copied C:\Program Files (x86)\Movie Maker\Shared
to C:\Program files\movie maker\shared. I have opened and closed my Windows Movie maker, ran it as an administrator, restarted windows. But to no avail. All I get is the pre loaded effects and transitions. I have files from
http://movies.blainesville.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
http://home.comcast.net/~pleabo/MovieMaker/
AND http://moviemakerkid.windowsmoviemaker.info/index.php
Some of which do not require the Rehan's ShaderTFX .
I don't know what could be wrong with what I am doing if others can see and Use 3rd party add ons iin WMM with Vista 64.

I am looking at the resize: Stretch to Widescreen from Blaine and I have a question.
My input source is a 720X480 DV AVI. Am I lossing resolution when 'stretching' and then outputing to AVI? Is the effect using all the original pixels or is it based on what MovieMaker is displaying?
Thanks,
John |

Hi,
After isntalling the resize effects the black bars are on top of the frame or image. I am using the Stretch to full screen NTSC 3:4. Even I preview the effects on the red flower sample, the black bars are showing up on top and inside the flower framse. What am I doing wrong? Thanks |
