Windows Movie Maker - Two clips at once

Postby Hikaru Yui » Tue Aug 29, 2006 3:17 pm

Alright...

I want to combine two clips so it makes that transparent effect right? Problem is, when i drag the second clip into the first one, it does not cover the first tiny bit of the first clip. I can't split it either since the program thinks i'm trying to split the second clip and will not let me split.

Anyone know how to do this?

Try using the "Fade" transition instead of just draging the clip over the other clip. See if that hepls.

Alright I got the program. I don't understand how to use it and how I can do an overlay. Can someone help?

Use the "Overlay" command. The instructions are on the documentation file that comes with the program. I don't use this function in avisynth, but robably, it works like this:
Code: Select all
a=mpeg2source("c:/path/file1.d2v")
b=mpeg2source("c:/path/file2.d2v")
Overlay(a,b)

where "path" is the path to your d2v files and "file1.d2v" and "file2.d2v" are those files. If your source is avi, then use "avisource" instead of "mpeg2source".

Deinterlacing and any other filtering is not represented.

you can overlay with wmm, but the first clip needs too be as big or bigger than the second clip. Then drag the second clips onto the first clip. I do it myself
