transitions help

Hi there,

Your problem may be caused by a codec that Movie Maker does not like. This
a very common issue.

Your one-stop-don't-need-to-look-anywhere-else Solution is with a program
called "Rename Codecs".

Instead of reading miles of dross that is full of maybe's and perhaps's
just run the program, it takes a few moments to identify all of the known
codecs that cause this problem and gives you the opportunity of renaming
them, or, you can now use the new Auto feature in version 1.5 and let the
program take care of virtually everything to do with this problem

You can then run Movie Maker and immediately determine if it actually was a
codec issue. If it was a codec issue Movie Maker will now run properly. If
it was not the issue, you have lost nothing more than a short amount of
time.

Whether or not it was a codec issue you must run the program once more and
restore the problem codecs to their original names.

The two procedures together can take less time than it did to read this
message and a whole lot less than reading mountains of bumph that may or
may not apply to you.

The program "Rename Codecs" is free and available from my website.

While there it would be a good idea to check out the tutorial on how to run
the program...that will take around one minute of your time!!! Use this
quick link to get there real fast http://tinyurl.com/3ewb9

When I go to click and drag the video transitions it will let me do some of
them then the other spots it wont let me add one in that spot. I need to
figure out what to do to get it so it will let me add video transitions in
the emety spots between pictures. Any help would be great!!!

I have no Movie Maker "Transitions" and only to 2 effects, faster and slower.

DShow will "quarantine" filters it has trouble instantiating.
"Trouble" simply means DShow couldn't CoCreate the filter -- this can be
because the code is poorly written, or your machine didn't have enough
resources to at the time to allow the filter to be co-created, or whatever.

Once the filter is quarantined by DShow, you need to manually delete the
registry key to get DShow to re-enumerate it. There is no exiting UI that
I'm aware of to do this -- you need to go into Regedit and delete the
registry keys containing the quarantined CLSIDs.

Try the steps I've listed below. If Dshow still can't CoCreate the filter,
it will simply re-quarantine the filter again. But if the problem that
caused the filter to be quarantined initially has been resolved, then the
following steps may help you regain your missing trans/effect:

Could you try the following?
(Back up your registry first if you aren't comfortable with doing this kind
of operation!).

1. Make sure Movie maker is shutdown.
2. Choose "Start" | "Run"
3. Type "regedit.exe" (no quotes) and Enter.
4. In Regedit, navigate to the following keys, and delete them (as well as
any child nodes they may contain):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\{ CC7BFB46-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\{ CC7BFB47-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}
5. Launch MM and look to see if you've got your missing Trans/Effects back.

Hope this helps!

Kristen,

Is that the elusive reason for the "missing transitions and effects
syndrome" !!!
I dont have this problem but it has been asked many times in this newsgroup
and other forums. I have been trying to find a solution or cause for ages.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I hope it fixes many peoples problems.

Just one thing that previously it was seen to be somehow linked with some
spyware activity. In my opinion it would be helpful for people who are going
to try your solution, that they clean their machines using anti-spyware and
anti-virus first.

My reocmmendations (all free):
Adaware: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=34688
SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
ETrust Antivirus: http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/

All who use Kristen's solution please provide feedback positive or negative,
so that we know if it is working.

Thanks

Hi Rehan --

We suspect that this will resolve the issue in some cases, but without
understanding *why* the filters were quarentined in the first place, the
problem may still occur. I should note that these steps presume that your PC
has a correct install of MM (all the wmm2fx*.* files are regisitered ect.).

Adware/spyware could be playing a part (or could be a different issue
altogether) -- Our biggest headache has been getting a machine which
reproduces the "missing transistion and effects" problem! I'm hoping we'll
get some user feedback here -- if you are missing trans/effects, and these
steps *don't* resolve the issue, post back and let us know!

Thanks!

Hi Kristen

Could this fix apply to me? I have a brand new clean install of Windows XP
Home ed. with SP2. The very first time I started Movie Maker the transitions
were missing. Just a blank window. There's been no apparent reason for any
files to be quarentined, I would assume.
