Lost effects and transitions
Posted: 01 Sep 2005 01:24 PM |
Hello ,
( sorry for my english )
A few month ago , a lot off my effects and transitions disappeared suddenly .
I tried to copy other DLL's , to register the DLL's , to eliminate somme spyware ,
to desactivate the codecs .... like it is said on the forums .
Nothing change anything .
So , I tried to créate other effects and transitions by saving XML files in the
ADDONTFX folder . Then , some were working well and others didn't
Searching the reason why , I discovered that some "guids" were missing in the
Registry . By creating manualy the registry key and the values , everything returns normal .
All my transitions and effects are back .
You can found the list off the "guids " at this adress =
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/moviemakersfx.asp.
Guids missing were in this 2 registry folder :
for transitions =
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{CC7BFB43-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}\
For effects =
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{CC7BFB42-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}\
To create values , I took exemple on the other " guids "
If this can help anybody ... |

Thanks for this piece of info... I thanked you on newsgroup too for sharing your findings.
I have started to proble into this line of investigation... Here are some of my experiments and findings:
Made a backup of the said registry entries and then deleted a few of the effects and transition GUID entries to see what happens.... (please dont attempt it at home folks !!!). When I started the movie maker, unfortunately nothing bad happened. The effects and transitions were still present. Then I opened the registry and... it seems the deleted entries were restored automatically...
This gave me an idea that for the affected PCs maybe somehow the permissions of these entries or the subtree get messed up and the said user no longer can write to these registry subtree (a possible hallmark of an overly active anti-spyware...) then it wont be able to self-restore as it normlly does. I deleted the entries again and then revoked the user permissions for the said tree and restarted movie maker... Lo and behold: all my effects and transitions were wiped away.... Hoorrayyy... i reproduced the problem exactly as reported by many users.
Now researching for a simple remedy.... seems it may be in sight soon...

Finally I have a working solution:
Download and run the following two registry files:
missing_transitions.zip
missing_effects.zip
Download and extract to a temp folder. Double click the extracted .reg file to run.
If you have Firefox, you may have to reset IE as your default browser. If IE is not the default browser, the access to some files (including .reg) is restricted in SP2.
Also you may have to completely disable your antivirus software as some of them restrict access to reg files.
Sometimes the antivirus/antispyware is super active and it monitors any changes to the registry and silently reset the changes. This is generally good but some programs require to change the registry entries not directly related to them. In particular Movie Maker requires read/write access to following registry branch:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum]
If the unrestricted access is not available then effects and transitions do not function in movie maker.
Once again I thank PP for the hint.

I don't understand what this means. I don't have tansitions or effects, and I ran your two links, but they didn't restore. Please advise.

Bonjour Vincent ,
As - tu éssayé les conseils de Rehan = désactiver l'antivirus ou l'antispyware - et surtout , vérifier les privilèges ( permissions ) du répertoire concerné ????
Pour ma part , comme tu peux le lire plus haut , j'avais reconstitué les " guids " manuellement .
Bon courage

J'ai arrêté l'antivirus et bien vérifié les permissions sur le registre.
De toutes les façons le problème n'est pas là.
En effet les fichiers .reg ajoutent bien les clés dans le registre, mais hélas ces clés disparaissent quand je lance movie maker. le problème est là, pourquoi movie maker efface les clés que j'ai ajouté ?
A+

translated using babelfish:
I stopped the antivirus and checked well the permissions on the register. In all the ways the problem is not there. Indeed the reg files add well the keys in the register, but alas these keys disappear when I launch movie maker. is the problem there, why movie maker erases the keys which I added? A+ Vincent

I tried all these suggestions on the web. This one from MS support fixed all my problems. (I only had to do steps 1 & 2 to fix my problems.)
1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter.
2. In the opened window, run the following command:
regsvr32 Msxml3.dll
regsvr32 Msxml2.dll
regsvr32 Msxml.dll
If the issue persists after we run the above commands, please refer to the next step.
3. Install MSXML 3.0 SP5 from the following link:
Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5)
Direct Download Link:

To see "Babelfish" in action, you can find the Altavista "Babelfish" translator here.
Or if you want to have some real fun with machine-generated translations, my favorite site is Lost in Translation. It takes whatever you type, uses the babelfish engine several times, each time in a different language. So it might go from English, to French, to English, to German, to English, to Spanish, to English, to Italian, to English. The resulting phrase rarely looks anything like the original. Here's one attempt with a familiar phrase:
Original English Text:
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow.
Translated to Japanese:
メリーに羊毛が雪として白かった小さい子ヒツジがあった。
Translated back to English:
The wool there was a white small lamb in Mary as a snow.
Translated to Chinese:
羊毛那里是一只白色小羊羔在玛丽作为雪。
Translated back to English:
Wool there is a white small lamb takes the snow in Mary.
Translated to French:
La laine là est de petites prises blanches d'un agneau la neige en
Mary.
Translated back to English:
The wool there is small white catches of a lamb snow in Mary.
Translated to German:
Die Wolle dort ist kleine weiße Verriegelungen eines Lammschnees in
Mary.
Translated back to English:
Wool is small white interlocks of a lamb snow there in Mary.
Translated to Italian:
La lana è piccoli interruttori di sicurezza bianchi di una neve
dell'agnello là in Mary.
Translated back to English:
The wool is small switches of emergency here white men of one snow of
the lamb in Mary.
Translated to Portuguese:
A lã é interruptores pequenos dos homens brancos da emergência aqui
de uma neve do cordeiro em Mary.
Translated back to English:
The wool is interrupting small here of the white men of the emergency
of a snow of the lamb in Mary.
Translated to Spanish:
La lana es interrupción pequeña aquí de los hombres blancos de la
emergencia de una nieve del cordero en Maria.
Translated back to English:
The wool is small interruption of the white men of the emergency of a
snow of the lamb in Maria here.
Note: the "Lost in Translation" site can be slow depending on whether it gets quick replies back from Babelfish. And sometimes it will outright fail, so be patient.

Hello,
I launched the two files reg and I installed Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) but I still do not have the effects and the transitions.
I await impatiently your ideas.
Thank you |

Just click on the two .reg files in the third post and that should restore the registry entries related to transitions and effects. You'll need full rights to your computer to install programs / update the registry.

I have run the registry files and then ran regedit and verified they were successful. The GUID entries were there. I then ran Movie Maker and tried the Video Transitions pane and it was blank. I re-checked regedit and the entries had been deleted. It seems that Movie Maker is deleting those registry entries.
Any ideas? |

Yup logged in with Admin rights. I have disabled all virus protection. I verified the entries by looking at the registry after I run the file and the GUIDs are there. After I run Movie Maker the parent key name:
{CC7BFB42-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}
is still there but the sub keys with all the GUIDs have disappeared. This only happens after I run Movie Maker and try the Video Transitions pane. |

Narcosis, I have had another user with similar issue before. I was able to offer him a possible workaround... This involves directly tinkering the registry... so for anybody else who doesnt know what he/she is doing... do not try it, please!
Summary of Workaround: Basically you can remove write access to this entry for your account. In your machine's default Administrator account populate the registry entry by executing the above two files and then run Movie Maker in your account. WMM shouldn't be able to delete the entries because of access restrictions.
If you are not sure how to do these steps then you can contact me for details. |

Hey Rehan thanks for the suggestion. I changed the permissions for that key and the sub keys and they are no longer being deleted by Movie Maker. Now when I hit video transitions the program thinks for a minute and then I get the microsoft send error report box. After I click dont send the program crashes.
The version of Movie Maker I am running is:
2.0.3312.0
It's funny be MM really does not want the registry entries there. :D
Thanks for the responses you too Considerate any other ideas will be attempted.

| Well my fixes etc are only tested on SP2. You need to get the latest version by installing SP2 which by itself might fix the issue. |
