Make video black and white - how it works

Making a video in black and white is not difficult. All you need is a simple editing program like the free Windows Movie Maker. In this practical tip we show you how to get the desired result.

• Download the Movie Maker in our download area and install it on your PC.
• Then open the program. Click in the free area on the right of the interface and select the appropriate video from your hard drive.
• Movie Maker then processes the file first, which can take a few seconds.
• Then click on the video track and switch to the "Visual Effects" tab at the top.
• You will find a number of filters here that you can place over your video. Select the "Black and White" effect here.
• All you have to do is save your video as a new file. To do this, go to "File"> "Save film" and select the format that suits you.
