Some of the most useful effects available in Movie Maker are described below. Brightness Increase and Decrease These brightness effects are very useful for fixing your video’s exposure levels. If you filmed an indoor scene that looks too dark, you can simply brighten the video with the brightness effect. If your video still isn’t bright enough, you can repeat the effect several times until you get the look you want.
Greyscale and Sepia Tone Both of these effects remove the colour from your film, and the sepia effect gives your film a pleasant “yellowed old photograph” look. You can use these effects to make your movie look classy or to create a “flashback” or “dream sequence” scene within a movie.
Slow Down and Speed Up These two effects can be useful for creating comedy “movies.” For example, you could make a fake kung-fu movie with your kids and use the speed-up effect to create rapid-motion fighting scenes. Likewise, the slow-down effect could be used to create the clichéd “slow motion punch” that is common in American action movies. You could also use the speed up effect to make funny slapstick comedies.
