Video transitions an effects file missing
Posted: 06 Feb 2004 03:38 PM |
Dear all,
I need your help and advice concerning video transitions an effects problem.
Each time that I open the movie maker 2 I receive an error that the file for video transitions and effect is missing, in addition, the video effects transitions are not available.
I tried to install mm2 again but it didn’t help.
Please help me.
Thanks

This issue is beyond me, but I do have a possible simple suggestion.
Under Windows XP there is a pretty cool back-up/recovery procedure that runs, whereby you can restore to a point in time (provided the recovery service has been turned on, don't ask me for details as I don't know them).
If you can get into a recovery wizard, you may be able to restore to a point in time when you knew your system was working.
I messed around with my codecs to the point where I was completely unable to run anything, and I was able to run my recovery wizard to get back to a point prior to me mangling my codecs. |

Thanks for your advice,
I cannt preform system recovery since I don't have a valid restore point.
Do you have more solutions ?
Thank you again.

I have this problem too. It came out of no where. And know way in h*ll am I backing my system up! I am working on a huge movie right now for my skate video. I would loose so much. This is really pissing me off. All of a sudden I can only add speed up double and slow down half. My other projects with missing effects have the effects. And when I hit Visual Effects if comes up so I can remove them, but all I can add is freakin speed up or slow down. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

This problem of missing tranistion and effects seems to be on the increase!!!
I am not sure why it might be happening but most likely it is some rogue program installation or uninistallation that somehow messes up the DLLs in Windows Movie Maker.
If it is caused by DLL files getting unregistered by some rogue uninstaller then it might be possible to fix this by registering these DLLs again.
Copy the text below into a text file named regdlls.bat and place it in C:\Porgram Files\Movie Maker\
and run it. it registers all DLLs found in this directory. (It is potentially dangerous if run anywhere else.)
Please report back success or otherwise so that some other solution be devised.

for %i in (*.dll) do %windir%\system32\sregsvr32.exe /s %i

| It didn't work, when I run the new bat file, it opens for a split second, then closes. When I opened MM2, they all still weren't there... |

Sorry again. There is still some problem in the above command. It must be executed in a dos window after changing the current directory to "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker". If it has to be used in a batch file as I suggested, there needs to be a small change: the %i must be enterred as %%i. The following is a complete batch file:
@echo off
REM - REGDLLS.BAT
REM Change directory to 'C:\Program Files\Movie Maker'
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker"
REM Registring DLLs found in this directory
for %%i in (*.dll) do %windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe /s %%i

| Okay I'm a little confused on what you said, but I think you meant to put what you wrote above into the bat file instead of what you said before, save it. Then open the command prompt and change the current directory to C:\Program Files\Movie Maker. I did that, then ran regdlls.bat and nothing happened again.....???? |

So you did not get your transitions and effects back ? Thats a shame... :(
So far we have eliminated following:
1. Re-installing WMM2 doesnt work
2. Forced re-registration of DLLs doesnt work either.
Dont know what should we try next. Perhaps:
3. Re-install DirectX 9a

I meant DirectX 9b or whichever is the latest.
Actually I have done some experiments on my computer which point strongly towards this suggestion to be the correct solution to the problem...
Please can anybody confirm!

By chance are you running a Radeon video card?
I had the same issue come up today at work.
We found that after installing mm2 half of the effects were gone and all transitions. The cause was the radeon Multimedia center and drivers. They do not support some of the effects with Direct draw 9.
Try to download the latest MMC and catalyst drivers. |

Although it may well be possible but this doesnt make sense as Movie Maker doesnt use hardware acceleration. It uses software renderer of DirectX7.
If it is true then the drivers for the radeon multimedia center are messing up areas which they shouldnt even touch.
Can others with this problem verify what graphics card and software they are using? |

OK somebody suggested it all happened after they had a certain spyware/adware attack. Do others have had any spyware/adware problem prior to this issue? How did you resolve it? It may be that the spyware removal program is removing some registry entries related to WMM in error!
Another suggestion to try: make a new administrator account and run the program from that account. Does it have the same problem ?

| Good News!!! I have no idea how this happened or why it happened but I checked back in the windows movie maker and clicked on transitions and they were all back same with effects!!! I did not do any kind of truobleshooting or anything. My only advise is to check your movie maker to see if they have come back and if there not Im sorry but your out of luck:( |

Same problem with missing transitions and effects. This has happened in a lab of 25 computers. All have missing transitions and effects. Another computer in my office works fine.
What a pain! |

I am thinking that the files are missing due to another program being installed because my movie maker woz wurkin fine and then i installed the flyakite osx transformation pack and guess wot???
Files gone!!!!!!!!!!!!STUPID PROGRAMS!!!
So my solution is to if its not to important then remove the program that you think is breaking movie maker restart and see!!!!!!

I'm thinking it might be the Bricopack Windows XP screen themes.
Click. Or another program you have installed...
My friend and I both just downloaded it, and now have this problem. I'm going to try and uninstall it, and see what happens. Anyone else download this and get the same error? |

Nocogito,
Are you saying that installation of that software caused the problem and removal of it restored the missing effects & transitions? Your sentence above is not very clear. I will note it as one of the potential culprit then.

| I'm having this problem too. I have an Nvidia card, so I can rule out the ATI problem (although I did have an ATI card 6 months or so ago). |

Re: Video transitions an effects file missing

Guys, I dabble with MM and last used it some time ago (year+) and have just come back to use it again and noticed the same problem, namely all but 2 effects are missing
(Slow Down, Half and Speed Up, Double) and all transitions missing (previous movies still have them embedded, but not available for new movies). I've certainly installed various pieces of software during this time, including service packs and other package updates, so returning to a System Restore Point isn't an option for me.
I've tried playing around and have noticed that the effects _do_ appear if I
run MM2 from an Administrator account (I normally run with a standard User
account (WinXP Pro) and have most System and Program directories locked down
to read-only access).
So, tried setting the permissions on "c:\program files\movie maker" to Full
Control to the Users group, but no luck. Had a quick look in the registry but no obvious differencies that I can spot. So for the moment I'm going to have to use an Admin based account (not ideal...)
Don't know if this helps much, but might be a pointer for the techies on this forum to pin the problem down....
Jeff

Im having the same exact problem. My transition and effect are ALL GONE! Im in desperate need of 'fade into black' and 'fade into white', but without the needed effects, im shot! Nothing has work so far, and this is really, really annoying!
Any update on this? |

I have this same problem. all of my effects except for speed up and slow down are gone. This problem came up around the time that I installed the newest versions of Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, and Windows Live Messenger. I have tried everything that I have found posted (except for system restore) and nothing has worked. I also had effects that did not come with Windows Movie Maker that have also disappeared. I have tried re-registering and even replacing the DLL's, but it hasn't worked. Does anyone have a solution?

| I had also bricopacks crystal clear and uninstalling it, resolved the problem. But since i liked bricopacks really much, i reinstalled it with personalised settings, from where i could choose that i want to exclude windows movie maker from patching and now i have effects and transitions and bricopacks...although i don't see anythin in windows movie player preview window now :/ |
