For our regret we received reports for various problems with Movie Maker after recent Windows 10 updates. On many computers major updates remove or damage Movie Maker and on some it not works properly even after a re-install. We no longer see a way to guarantee compatibility with Windows 10 and decided to discontinue SpiceFX.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
• After installation, where will SpiceFX appear? New effects and transitions will show up in the Video Transitions and Video Effects areas of Movie Maker and are identifiable by the small "pixelan.com" in each icon. To access the Wizards, double-click the Wizards for Movie Maker icon on your desktop.
• What's the difference between a Wizard and a Pack? Wizards make CUSTOM titles, transitions, and effects for Movie Maker -- giving you the power to create a 'just right' look for your projects. Packs are collections of PRE-MADE transitions and effects. Packs are not adjustable or customizable, but include lots of handy presets for common visual needs. And they include several types of effects (such as Animation, Correction, and Cosmetic Effects) and transitions (such as Particles, PageFX, and DepthFX Transitions) that are not available in Wizards. It's really best to have BOTH.
• Does SpiceFX have special hardware requirements? Any XP or Vista computer with Movie Maker 2.x/6.0 or later is fine, EXCEPT XP 64-bit systems. That means virtually ALL Windows PCs over the past several years.
• I have an earlier purchased version of SpiceFX installed on my computer. If I install the SpiceFX 6 Free, will it mess up my existing version? No, but we recommend to click here for Free Upgrade instead of to install SpiceFX 6 Free.
• How do I uninstall SpiceFX? Choose Uninstall SpiceFX from your Start/Programs/Pixelan/SpiceFX for Movie Maker folder. Or go into your Add or Remove Programs control panel (in Vista or Windows 7, the Programs and Features control panel) and double-click SpiceFX for Movie Maker.
• While running the installer, it says it cannot find the Movie Maker folder." That error means you do not have Movie Maker 2.6 or 6.0 installed... most likely only Windows LIVE Movie Maker. See this page for the solution to this issue. |
