Unable to load new transitions
in [Movie Maker]

From: DrB on 18 Mar 2006 20:12 Thanks for your responses. I did download your PIP Plus static, which in the end crashed MM2 altogether, and i had to go back to a prior set point to recover. I have tried several .xml files copied from Papa John's web site. All, including the PIP plus from Rehan's web site, have failed to be recognized at all and as noted above ended in a complete crash at one point. This is the code from one of the files i've tried; it is saved as pip.xml: <TransitionsAndEffects Version="1.0"> <Transitions> <TransitionDLL guid="{BB44391D-422f-9E2E-285C9DFF51FC}"> <Transition name="PIP Preview" iconid="1"> <Param name="SrcOffsetX" value="0"/> <Param name="SrcOffsetY" value="0"/> <Param name="SrcWidth" value="180"/> <Param name="SrcHeight" value="120"/> <Param name="OffsetX" value="90"/> <Param name="OffsetY" value="60"/> <Param name="Width" value = "180"/> <Param name="Height" value="120"/> </Transition> <Transition name="PIP Render" iconid="88"/> <Param name="SrcOffsetX" value="0"/> <Param name="SrcOffsetY" value="0"/> <Param name="SrcWidth" value="180"/> <Param name="SrcHeight" value="120"/> <Param name="OffsetX" value="90"/> <Param name="OffsetY" value="60"/> <Param name="Width" value = "180"/> <Param name="Height" value="120"/> </Transition> </TransitionDLL> </Transitions> </TransitionsAndEffects> "Rehan" wrote: > > > > "DrB" <DrB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6154CB0A-72CE-4EBF-8218-D6C628366783(a)microsoft.com... > > All checked and rechecked.

From: DrB on 18 Mar 2006 20:43 Please see the response to Rehan below. I have tried several files, all copied verbatim from Papa Johns web site.

I wish you had contacted me directly to resolve the issue with me. Obviosuly I would like the users of my software to have better experience than yours :) btw, I have never heard of PIPPlus causing such a crash. Just to make sure did you execute the MSI file installer prior to "PIP Static" xml file? Because the installer installs the main plugin which is then used by the various xmls to show specific PIP effects/transitions? -- Rehan MS MVP -- Digital Media www.rehanfx.org - get transitions and effects for Windows Movie Maker "DrB" <DrB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AD25808D-8100-42C4-9114-4980115DDEA1(a)microsoft.com... > Thanks for your responses. > I did download your PIP Plus static, which in the end crashed MM2 > altogether, and i had to go back to a prior set point to recover. > I have tried several .xml files copied from Papa John's web site. > All, including the PIP plus from Rehan's web site, have failed to be > recognized at all and as noted above ended in a complete crash at one > point. > This is the code from one of the files i've tried; it is saved as pip.xml: > <TransitionsAndEffects Version="1.0"> > <Transitions> > <TransitionDLL guid="{BB44391D-422f-9E2E-285C9DFF51FC}"> > <Transition name="PIP Preview" iconid="1"> > <Param name="SrcOffsetX" value="0"/> > <Param name="SrcOffsetY" value="0"/> > <Param name="SrcWidth" value="180"/> > <Param name="SrcHeight" value="120"/> > <Param name="OffsetX" value="90"/> > <Param name="OffsetY" value="60"/> > <Param name="Width" value = "180"/> > <Param name="Height" value="120"/> > </Transition> > <Transition name="PIP Render" iconid="88"/> > <Param name="SrcOffsetX" value="0"/> > <Param name="SrcOffsetY" value="0"/> > <Param name="SrcWidth" value="180"/> > <Param name="SrcHeight" value="120"/> > <Param name="OffsetX" value="90"/> > <Param name="OffsetY" value="60"/> > <Param name="Width" value = "180"/> > <Param name="Height" value="120"/> > </Transition> > </TransitionDLL> > </Transitions> > </TransitionsAndEffects> > > > "Rehan" wrote: > >> >> >> >> "DrB" <DrB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:6154CB0A-72CE-4EBF-8218-D6C628366783(a)microsoft.com... >> > All checked and rechecked.
