Packs -- General Tips • Do SpiceFX work with any media/image? Yes, ANY visual content (still-image or video) in the Video track of your Movie Maker timeline can be used with our effects and transitions. • Icons of your transitions and effects show colors or images. Do they apply such colors? No. We are simply showing example images in our icons to clearly show the transition or effect's look and to make our categories more recognizable. What you will see when applying a SpiceFX transition or effect is YOUR visual content. • How do I adjust the duration of SpiceFX transitions? The same way as ANY transition in Movie Maker… in the Timeline (NOT Storyboard) view of Movie Maker, drag either overlapping clip to shorten or lengthen the transition overlap. Tip: Use the Tools > Options command (Advanced panel) in Movie Maker to set the default duration of applied transitions. • How can I apply a SpiceFX transition or effect to several clips all at once? Right-click the transition or effect you want to use, then choose Copy. In Timeline or Storyboard view, hold down the Shift key and click on several consecutive clips to select them all. Now right-click and choose Paste. (This technique works for any transition or effect, not just ours.) Tip: Use the Tools > Options command (Advanced panel) in Movie Maker to set the default duration of applied transitions. • How do I apply a SpiceFX effect to just a portion of a clip's entire duration? 1. In the Movie Maker timeline (Timeline view, NOT Storyboard view), select the clip. 2. Drag the blue vertical time marker in Movie Maker's timeline to the frame where you want to start or end the effect. 3. Choose the Clip > Split command to split the clip into two pieces. 4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 as desired to define the length of the effect. 5. Now drag and drop the SpiceFX effect desired from the Effects menu of Movie Maker onto one of the clip pieces. That's all! • How can I vary the power of an effect, even though Movie Maker doesn't provide controls to adjust it? By applying a SpiceFX effect to a Movie Maker clip more than once, even more is creatively possible. Each pass can be optimized to a particular aspect of the desired look. Experiment! • Where is the Please Read First text file with the latest info?
