Blur
Blurs the content of the object so that it appears out of focus.
- MakeShadow - Content is displayed as a shadow. 0 (false) - Display content with normal RGB values. 1 (true) - Display content as a shadow. When the content is displayed as a shadow, its features are set to black, and then the blur filter is applied. Adjust the ShadowOpacity property to control the darkness of the shadow.

- PixelRadius - The radius of the area of opaque content around a pixel that is affected by the effect. The larger the number, the blurrier the picture. Valid range: 1.0...100.0.
Chroma
Displays a specific color of the content of the object as transparent.
- Color - Specifies the color applied to the chromakey transparency. Color is expressed in AARRGGBB format, where AA is the alpha opacity hexadecimal value, RR is the red hexadecimal value, GG is the green hexadecimal value, and BB is the blue hexadecimal value.
DropShadow
Creates a solid silhouette of the content of the object, offset in the specified direction. This creates the illusion that the content is floating and casting a shadow.
- Color - Specifies the color of the drop-shadow effect. Color is expressed in AARRGGBB format, where AA is the alpha opacity hexadecimal value, RR is the red hexadecimal value, GG is the green hexadecimal value, and BB is the blue hexadecimal value.
- OffX - Offset from the object along the x-axis (pixels). Positive values move the shadow to the right, and negative values move it to the left.
- OffY - Offset from the object along the y-axis (pixels). Positive values move the shadow down, and negative values move it up.
- Positive - Creates a drop shadow from the nontransparent pixels of the object. 1 (true) - Drop shadow is created from the nontransparent pixels of the object. 0 (false) - Drop shadow is created from the transparent pixels. If you have a transparent object but want to create the usual drop shadow effect, set the Positive property to true. This causes the transparent object to have a drop shadow outside the transparent region, rather than a drop shadow inside the transparent region.
DxtAlphaSetter Class
Sets the alpha bits on a video image.
- Alpha - Specifies a constant alpha value for every pixel in the image. Overwrites the alpha values from the original image.
- AlphaRamp - Specifies each pixel's alpha value as a percentage of the pixel's original value, from 0.0 to 1.0.
A property with a negative value is ignored. Only one property can have a non-negative value.
Emboss
Displays the content of the object as an embossed texture using grayscale values.
- Bias - A percentage of a value that is added to each color component of the filtered result. Valid range: -1.0 ... 1.0.
Larger bias values yield brighter filtered images. Images with high contrast are least affected by the filter.
Engrave
Displays the content of the object as an engraved texture using grayscale values.
- Bias - A percentage of a value that is added to each color component of the filtered result. Valid range: -1.0 ... 1.0.
Larger bias values yield brighter filtered images. Images with high contrast are least affected by the filter.
Fade
Causes a clip to fade in to a blackness.
Glow
Adds radiance around the outside edges of the content of the object so that it appears to glow.
- Color - Specifies the color of the radiance applied to the object. Color is expressed in RRGGBB format, where RR is the red hexadecimal value, GG is the green hexadecimal value, and BB is the blue hexadecimal value.
- Strength - The distance, in pixels, that an effect extends. Valid range: 1...255.
Matrix
Resizes, rotates, or reverses the content of the object using matrix transformation.
- M11 - First row/first column matrix entry for linear transformations.
- M12 - First row/second column matrix entry for linear transformations.
- Dx - X component of the augmenting vector for linear transformations. This property is ignored if the SizingMethod is set to "auto expand".
- M21 - Second row/first column matrix entry for linear transformations.
- M22 - Second row/second column matrix entry for linear transformations.
- Dy - Y component of the augmenting vector for linear transformations. This property is ignored if the SizingMethod is set to "auto expand".
- SizingMethod - Container is resized to fit the resulting image. "clip to original" - Container is not resized; "auto expand" - Container is resized to fit the resulting image.
- FilterType - Method used to define pixels of new content. "bilinear" - Uses bilinear method to define the color content of target pixels; "nearest neighbor" - Uses nearest neighbor method to define the color content of target pixels. For the best static filter results, the "bilinear" method provides a smoother image. However, when used for an animated series of images, the "nearest neighbor" method is computed faster and can produce more images per second of animation.
Microsoft Movie Maker Age Filter
The Film Aging effect introduces graininess, scratches, and other visual artifacts that make it appear as if a film is old.
- Age - Number of "years" to age the film. Valid range: 0...100. The Age parameter is actually a combination of ten separate parameters. If you want to set these parameters independently, rather than using the Age parameter, you can do so.
- Grey - True means grayscale (black-and-white) image.
- NoiseFrequency - Adds noise to the image, where 0 creates the least noise and 255 the most.
- LineFrequency - The frequency of white traveling "cracks" or lines in the image, where 0 creates the fewest lines and 255 the most.
- LintFrequency - Frequency of "lint" or "tears" on the screen, where 0 creates the least and 255 the most.
- FlickerFrequency - This effect sets the darkness of intervening, regularly spaced frames, where the lower the number, the darker the intervening frames, giving a flickering appearance. Zero means no visible flicker. Valid range: 0...255.
- FilmJerkiness - Degree of film jerkiness, where 0 is least and 255 is most.
- BlurAmount - Higher value means blurrier image. Valid range: 0...255.
- EdgeFade - Higher value means more edge fade. Valid range: 0...255.
- FrameSkips - Number of frames to skip before showing the next frame. Valid range: 0...255.

Microsoft MovieMaker Fade In Fade Out
Causes a clip to fade in to or out from a solid color of your choice.
- FadeIn - 0 indicates that the clip will fade out to a color; 1 indicates that a clip will fade in from a color.
- FadeColor - The number can be given in hexadecimal or binary. In hexadecimal, the values represent blue, green, and red values as 0xBBGGRR. (This is not a misprint. The blue value must be first.) Valid range: 0...0xFFFFFF.
MotionBlur
Causes the content of the object to appear to be in motion.
- Add - Indicates whether the filter image overlays the original image. 0 (false) - Filter image stands alone; 1 (true) - Filter image overlays the original.
- Direction - Direction of the offset, in degrees. Values less than 0 or greater than 360 automatically convert to values between 0 and 360.
- Strength - The distance, in pixels, that an effect extends. Valid range: 0 or greater.
