Hello there,

Have you had a look at the effects. There is one for speeding up and one for
slowing down. If memory serves they are a bit crude...I think its double and
half...whatever, but its set increase and decrease.

MovieDV Ver 6 and I think its little brother MovieXone can set the speed in
increments of 100th of 1 percent and variable as time progress's It can reverse
the film in the same way too. MovieDV Version 6 is available from www.aist.de
Version 4 is available from www.aist.com
 
Is there any way of actually setting the speed of a project before being
saved as a WMV in MM2?

Thanks

M Finch
 
MM has two speed effects to set speed to Half and Double rates.

However one can easily create effects of any arbitrary speed value by means
of custom effect mechanism. For example the following code adds a few more
speed effects:

<TransitionsAndEffects Version="1.0">
<Effects>
<EffectDLL guid="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" >
<Effect name="Speed Slow 1/4" iconid="31" speed=".25" />
<Effect name="Speed Slow 1/8" iconid="31" speed=".125" />
<Effect name="Speed Slow 1/100" iconid="31" speed=".01" />
<Effect name="Speed Fast 4x" iconid="32" speed="4.0" />
<Effect name="Speed Fast 6x" iconid="32" speed="6.0" />
<Effect name="Speed Fast 10x" iconid="32" speed="10.0" />
</EffectDLL>
</Effects>
</TransitionsAndEffects>


Instructions: Open notepad, copy paste the above code into it and save as
"speed.xml" in folder "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX". Create
the folder if not already there. Restart MM.
