Not to be confused with Pixelan SpiceMaster.

Pixelan SpiceFX, usually just called SpiceFX is a discontinued suite of plugins developed by Pixelan for Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and 6.0. It has a variety of interesting effects that can "spice" up your footage, based on derivatives of Pixelan's other effect suites.

It is notable for being one of the few commercially available plugins for Windows Movie Maker, greatly expanding its capabilities. Unfortunately, due to issues with Windows 10 and above conflicting with both SpiceFX and older WMM versions, the program was discontinued.
