Troubleshoot problems with Windows Movie Maker transitions and effects

If your computer or graphics card does not support certain transitions or effects, either they will not appear or they will appear shaded in Windows Movie Maker. To learn more about graphics card requirements in Windows Movie Maker, see What are the video card system requirements?

If you created a project using a transition that is not currently installed on your computer, the transitions may appear as a Fade transition instead.

If you created a project using an effect that is not currently installed or supported on your computer, that effect will no longer appear in your project.
