| Welcome to the forum....here is a quick example to show you how it works on the timeline. People use blue backgrounds to film for the bluescreen effect...there are various ways (i.e. a royal blue sheet etc) but the background needs to be equally lit with no shadows to get it to work. If you google 'bluescreen' you'll see a number of attempts and tutorials. Here is one I did with animations on the blue background rather than a camcorder video.....have fun.

| Hi. In Movie Maker, i've always found that the bluescreen is the most tolerant...there are also such transitions as chroma black, white, and greenscreen but they are less tolerant. What I ended up doing was getting a royal blue sheet at a discount store (Target was the only one that had that specific color..LOL)...it matched a color that I determined was best after a lot of comparisons in MM. Its a bit darker and more like royal blue than the blue on this vid. It took a while to get it to ... |

| Don't know exactly, but maybe you don't have enough lighting. Make sure it is well lit and equally lit. Sometimes adding contrast to the bluescreened footage helps too.
Are you using the bluescreen transition that Considerate Guy posted on the first post of this thread? Also, make sure you have the two clips in the right order on the timeline. Read through all of the posts above and you'll see some of the problems people have had. Sometimes if I can't get it the way I like it to ... |

| Fishy's tutorial on bluescreen is the best....that sheet is the same color as the one I have. Depending on the lighting it might look a little brighter on camcorder footage..thus maybe the use of a bit of contrast. Here is a clip I made of how to do the same in Wax. Your two vids will need to be avi's...make them in Movie Maker and save them out as dv-avi as clip1 and clip2. Good luck with it.

| Hi. We're in the 'Share Your XP Transitions and Effects' section...you would need to get a Vista version. Rehan's ShaderTFX plug-in has bluescreen for Vista. It costs $10, but has many other additional items such as splits, PIP etc...well worth it.....go to this post to see the current various custom effects/transitions/titles for Vista (link to ShaderTFX is there too... <post>126998</post> Have fun.

| Hi, welcome to the forum. This isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I made a clip you could use. Just put the typing 'Mafia Al Capone The Interview' title at the very start while
the gun comes on screen. The gun turning is one of the 'transitions' from the Adorage package...and I transitioned it with a pic of Capone. I added the siren sound and flashing lights at the end for a bit more effect... LOL If you want to download and use it, there is a link on the lower right of the ... |

| Hi, HappyMouse. That was made with HitTheBongo's 'SearchLight' effect. He has made a number of various effects and projects which use Avisynth software (Avisynth script...script saved from Notepad as name.avs) and an encoder (VirtualDub or NicsEncoder etc) to render the video. I made a short vid of the Capone picture and put it into the folder with the searchlight script and right clicked on the script and rendered the video with VirtualDub.
Read HTB's 'Avisynth Introduction' at the link ... |

| I still can't see what the problem was. Plus I copied the info for your link from it, to put into mine. Must be just one of those things. Glad you liked the Al clip.
I bought a newer car, and today I kept pulling the lever to open up the trunk. I did it over and over and finally gave up on it. Thinking it didn't work. Later I found out my gas cap cover was wide open. Hmm...since NO ONE saw this, I chalk it up to 'Just one of those things' too....LOL

| I couldn't find a way to capture the 'Elf' adequately. Several times I've been tempted to pay the $4.99 to download one, but then my enthusiasm lacked focus, and it became 'just one of those things'!! I guess we'll have to be satisfied sending the original....its always fun to do anyway. Have to make some new heads. I used a friends dog as a head. That was really funny, because he danced better than they did!! LOL
