FadeToBlack is a great tool when editing your home movies or your favourite AVI files in Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000.

Dissect video files and re-edit them without altering your original files. Bring together many AVI files and even include your favourite digital camera pictures in with your movies.

Professional quality effects can be added to your movie to give it that "WOW!" factor. Have fun with reversing your movie files so that you act and sound backwards. Speed it up, slow it down, cut out that embarrassing scene. Have fun modifying the color.

Ever wondered what your film would look like in negative, then make the colours negative - it's easy. Overlay clips on top of each other and make them shrink or grow as they fade in or out of view. Want to produce something really original? - then play with the Custom Filter effect for endless possibilities of visual effects.
