hi, my name is aaron. ive been using Movie Maker 2 for a couple of weeks now
and have started getting into it quite a lot. the only set-back is that i
want a specific effect for my next video - a blue cast on the video clips.
rather like The Matrix's green cast but blue.
ive tried creating the effect myself but i just dont know XML. i was
wondering if anyone knows how to do this? would it be possible to send me the
code?
also, if its possible, could you tell me how to adjust the amount of blue in
the cast. i would really like to use this kind of effect in future videos and
would appreciate the know-how.
thank you so very much in advance!

The following XML code will give you a set of color filters. Copy paste the
code into Notepad and then save it in "C:\Program Files\Movie
Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX" fodler with name "colorfitlers.xml". You may have to
create the AddOnTFX folder if this is the first time you are saving the
custom effects xml.

Thank you so much! The filters are great. I was really counting on being able
to filter my next video with a blue colour and now I can. You've made my day!

Thanks again,
