Love version 2, using this skin as we speak, what did you use to make the outro and into movies?

Thanks!  I used MS Windows Movie Maker (Free with XP) and Stoik Video Converter to do the movies.

Mini-tut:
1. Open the Windows Movie Maker.
2. Under the "Capture Video" section import your 2 pictures.
3. Drag and drop the imported pictures on to the "Show Storyboard".
4. Under the "Edit Movie" section drag and drop pre canned "Video Transitions" in between the 2 pictures.
5. (Optional) You may want to switch to "show timeline" to adjust the video timing.
6. Click File->Save Movie File...
7. Click next->next->next->finish
8. WMM probably encodes in WM9 so re-encode the new movie file with Stoik Video Converter and you're done.

Stoik-tut:
1. Open the Stoik Video Converter
2. Under "Input File:" browse and select the movie you made with WMM
3. Under "Output File:" browse for a place to put the output.wmv
4. Change the "Save as Type from .avi to .wmv
5. Click the "Save" button.
6. Under "Output file type:" select "WMV"
7. About 3/4ths down under "Windows Media profile to write WMV file:" select "Video for broadband NTSC (2 Mbps total)"
8. Uncheck the "Show preview" box (makes for faster encoding
9. Click the "Start" button

Thanks for the answer, but how do you do the special effects on the outro and intro ?

The effects you see are the “pre canned Video Transitions" built into WMM.

I don't seem to have a "Capture Video" section on my version of WMM.
Which version are you running, I have version 1.1.2427.1

[edit] Downloaded the latest version and it works fine now, thanks [/edit]

Thanks
