I need a "black" clip:

Anyone know how to do this?

I'm using the effect "Fade into Black". Works great, only what I wish I could do is extend the time of the black-ness ... I mean from the brief half-second (at most) I can get into, say, 4 or 5 seconds of duration.

Or: how to insert a clip, that's just black ... any "blank" clip I try to insert only comes out blue (on my playback).

Anyone know how I can get a usable black background clip ... or extend the "Fade into Black".

No, slowing the clip down isn't a good idea ... then my information in that clip gets slowed down.

I used to have a "black" clip you could insert with VideoStudio, but VS doesn't work on my computer anymore.

Am now using WMM2.0

Thanks!

Michael

Could use photo-editing software to make a suitably sized black still and
insert it. Then you can make it extend to whichever time you want.
