Effects are added to make the movie flow and make it interesting.
Although you may sometimes create effects during basic editing, effects
editing generally starts after the basic editing is completed. It is
similar to decorating the cake after applying the initial layer
frosting. For example, you would add a fade out at the end of a music
track after you assemble and edit the track to its
final size. Examples of effects for movies include transitions, filters, titles,
and annotations.
Movie Maker
includes several audio and video filters, an title palette
that works like a standard text and graphics tool, and a plug-in for
creating animated filters.
Sound Track
includes a menu of effects you can use.
Although Kam can do more rearranging and cutting of this movie at anytime, he
thinks it's about right, so he creates an opening title and the
"Wait 4 Minutes" title, using Movie Maker's
title palette.
-
If your movie includes computer-generated graphics, such as those
created by including a 3D filter in your movie, it may flicker when
played on a TV monitor. To remedy this, use Media Convert
to apply a flicker
filter to the movie.

To view examples of included video filters, use the Movie Maker Help
menu: choose Adding Filters for Effect > Examples of Included
Filters.
