如何将动画添加到 Windows Movie Maker(Animations Into Windows Movie Maker)
功能区上的动画(Animations)窗格包含两种不同类型的动画，您可以将它们添加到视频剪辑或照片中：过渡(Transitions)和平移和缩放(Pan and zoom)。
过渡(Transitions)应用于所选剪辑的开头。为了应用它们，选择一张照片或一个视频剪辑(video clip)，然后从左上角的图库中选择一个过渡。您可以将鼠标悬停在过渡上进行预览。
应用转场后，时间线中的剪辑将有一个褪色的对角线区域，显示转场的开始和结束位置。
您可以通过更改过渡(Transitions)库右侧的持续时间来更改过渡所需的时间。(Duration)对剪辑或照片(clip or photo)应用过渡后，选择它并输入 0.25 到 2.00 秒之间的持续时间。
如果您想将相同的转场应用到所有剪辑和照片，您可以在选择转场后单击或点按应用到全部。(Apply to all)然而，这是重复视频或幻灯片的(video or slideshow)万无一失的秘诀(surefire recipe)。
您不能在剪辑的末尾添加转场。因此，如果您想让剪辑淡化(clip fade)为黑色，则必须在剪辑之后立即对剪辑应用溶解过渡。(dissolve transition)有点迂回(roundabout way)的做事方式，但它达到了同样的效果。
动画(Animations)选项卡的右侧是平移和缩放(Pan and Zoom)图库。这些可以以与转换相同的方式应用。选择一张照片，然后从图库中选择平移和缩放设置。(pan and zoom setting)
当您应用平移和缩放效果(pan and zoom effect)时，剪辑的左上角会出现一个图标。请注意，您不能更改平移和缩放效果(pan and zoom effect)的持续时间。
与过渡一样，您可以通过按“应用到所有”按钮来选择要应用到所有的(Apply to all)平移和缩放效果(pan and zoom effect)。此功能的最佳用途是选择Automatic，然后选择Apply to all。这将对每张照片应用随机平移和缩放效果(random pan and zoom effect)，这有助于稍微改变一下。
如果要删除过渡(transitions)或平移和缩放(pan and zoom)动画，只需从相应的图库中单击无。(None)
注意：(NOTE:)您不能向视频剪辑添加平移和缩放效果。(pan and zoom effects)这仅适用于照片。
如何在Windows Movie Maker中添加视觉效果(Windows Movie Maker)
视觉效果(Visual effects)可以应用于照片和视频。视觉效果(Visual Effects)位于具有相同名称的选项卡中，如果要应用其中一个，请选择一个剪辑，然后从图库中选择一个效果。
在“视觉效果(Visual Effects)”选项卡中，您还将找到可让您调整亮度(Brightness)的设置。您可以独立于已应用的任何视觉效果使任何剪辑或照片(clip or photo)变亮或变暗。
视觉效果(Visual Effects)功能允许您将多种效果添加到单个剪辑中。为此，请单击箭头以展开图库并选择Multiple Effects。
在“添加或删除效果”(Add or Remove Effects)对话框中，您可以选择要应用到所选剪辑的效果。如果要添加效果，请在可用效果(Available effects)菜单中突出显示它，然后单击或点击添加(Add)。如果您要移除效果，请在显示的效果(Displayed effects)列中选择它，然后单击或点击移除(Remove)。
您还可以选择应用效果的顺序。根据您选择的效果，这可能会影响视频的最终显示方式。完成后按应用(Apply)。
结论
这就是为您的Movie Maker(Movie Maker)添加过渡、平移和缩放(pan and zoom)以及视觉效果的全部内容。随意(Feel)尝试不同的组合，没有覆盖原始效果的风险，并且您始终可以像应用它一样轻松地删除效果。有关Movie Maker的更多提示，请查看我们的一些相关文章，如果您有任何疑问或问题，请随时使用下面的评论表。
How To Add Animations & Visual Effects To Your Movie Maker Videos
Movie Maker allows you to easily create photo slideshows and home movies without any technical knowledge. You can give them a more professional look and feel by adding transitions, pan and zoom and other visual effects. In this tutorial, we will explain the differences between each of these animations and effects and we'll show you how to use them into your Movie Maker project.
NOTE: If you are new to Movie Maker, you might want to catch up on the basics before beginning this tutorial. Reading these articles will help you:
How To Add Animations Into Windows Movie Maker
The Animations pane on the ribbon contains two different kinds of animations that you can add to video clips or photos: Transitions and Pan and zoom.
Transitions are applied to the beginning of the selected clip. In order to apply them, select a photo or a video clip and choose a transition from the gallery in the top-left side. You can mouse over a transition to preview it.
Once you've applied a transition, the clip in the timeline will have a washed-out diagonal region that shows where the transition begins and ends.
You can alter how long the transition takes by changing the Duration to the right of the Transitions gallery. After applying a transition to a clip or photo, select it and enter a duration between 0.25 and 2.00 seconds.
If you want to apply the same transition to all of your clips and photos, you can click or tap Apply to all after selecting a transition. This, however, is a surefire recipe for a repetitive video or slideshow.
You can't add a transition to the end of a clip. So, if you want to have a clip fade to black, you have to apply a dissolve transition to the clip immediately after it. A bit of a roundabout way to do things, but it accomplishes the same effect.
On the right-hand side of the Animations tab is the Pan and Zoom gallery. These can be applied in the same way as transitions. Select a photo, and then choose a pan and zoom setting from the gallery.
When you apply an pan and zoom effect, there will be an icon in the top-left of the clip. Note that you cannot alter the duration of a pan and zoom effect.
Just as with transitions, you can choose your selected pan and zoom effect to be applied to all by pressing the Apply to all button. The best use of this feature is to select Automatic and then Apply to all. This will apply a random pan and zoom effect to each photo, which helps change things up a bit.
If you want to remove transitions or pan and zoom animations, simply click None from the corresponding gallery.
NOTE: You cannot add pan and zoom effects to video clips. This works only with photos.
How To Add Visual Effects In Windows Movie Maker
The Visual effects can be applied to both photos and videos. The Visual Effects are located in the tab with the same name and if you want to apply one of them choose a clip and then select an effect from the gallery.
In the Visual Effects tab, you will also find the setting that lets you adjust the Brightness. You can brighten or darken any clip or photo independently of any visual effects that have been applied.
The Visual Effects feature allows you to add multiple effects to a single clip. In order to do this, click the arrow to expand the gallery and choose Multiple Effects.
In the Add or Remove Effects dialog, you can choose which effects to be applied to your selected clip. If you want to add an effect, highlight it in the Available effects menu and click or tap Add. If you want to remove an effect, select it in the Displayed effects column and click or tap Remove.
You can also choose the order in which the effects are applied. Depending on which effects you choose, this may affect how the video is ultimately displayed. Press Apply when you are finished.
Conclusion
That's all about adding transitions, pan and zoom and visual effects to your Movie Maker. Feel free to experiment with different combinations, there is no risk of overwriting the original, and you can always remove an effect as easily as you applied it.
