WMM has a built-in fade-to-white. You just need to adjust the timing to get the effect you desire. Although a white (and even a black) .BMP is probably good to have and use regardless.

Excuse me, Cross/Zero Blues, you might want to read the Forum Rules.

You may have multiple images in your signature, but no single image may exceed 600 pixels in length or 40 pixels in height or be greater than 100 kb in size.

I just have one question that I cannot find a difinitive answer to. Can Vegas use AVS files? I think I read somewhere that it can't but I want to be sure before I buy it. I hate dealing with clips.

As far as I know, no. You'll have to make fake AVIs with the AVS files and use those.

Not directly, but there is a workaround:

I assume you are trying to import a XviD AVI video file. Read this post: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=70277

or convert the video/make clips into Huffyuv or Lagarith AVI files with VirtualDubMod instead.

What program do I need to convert my video into an huffyuv avi?

Gepetto · Post by **Gepetto** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 1:00 pm

VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod. Of course, you also need to have the huffyuv codec installed, but I recommend you use Lagarith instead.
