Audio transition

this is probably a rookie question but i have 2 movie clips with continuous though different background noise. i would like to put a cross dissolve transition in between the clips but the audio tracks then don't really match the video. i tried to fade out the audio on first clip and then fade in the audio on the second clip but then when i add the transition the audio reverts back to full volume during the transition. this seems like it should be a simple task but i am having no luck.
thanks for ANY ideas

Try performing the edit you describe, then save the project and quit. Sometimes when you restart the program problems like that work themselves out.
OR:
Extract the audio from both clips.
Put them on separate tracks in the audio section of the timeline.
Add your transition to the video clips.
Realign the sound clips so the first lines up with the beginning of the sequence and the second one lines up with the end.
Manually fade the audio as needed.

  • How can i add an audio transition?

    Adding an audio transition, basic for an editor, is impossible with fcpx??
    Or video, or video and audio or nothing???
    I've an interview and i need a 2 frames audio transition to eliminate the distorsion on the cut, the famous "click"...the only way is to do a split cut and to move the audio handles?...i think it's crazy, when on FCP7 was only a right click!!!!
    thanks to all!!!

    We wont to talk about the trim? The famous beautifull New trim interface??
    No play around the cut to review the trim, and no possibility to trim going in play!
    Match Frame (if it is what you think it is -- try it and let me know) is now called "Reveal in Event Browser" and is available in the "Clip Menu."
    I think the shortcut for play-around the edit point is now shift-? (question mark). There are preferences to control the length but they are broken -- it's a known bug.
    yeah, the precision editor while pretty seems a bit lacking in practical usage at this point.

  • Audio Transitions not working properly in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

    I am noticing that I can't change the audio transitions on the timeline as I used to be able to do. Now I get a prompt to go to the Browser and select the audio transitions there which is not how I've done it previously. Before, I just clicked on the timeline audio clip, made a transition and then typed the duration of the transition in the Viewer. So, I'm wondering if I should trash the plist for FCP or do something else? The video transitions seem to work fine as they always have.
    Thanks for any help!

    Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
    No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
    I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

  • How to create an audio transition

    It may be my ears to blame, but I cannot hear any difference whatever, with any of the audio transitions.  Further, I don't see any way to make adjustments in the adjustment panel either... or don't understand how to use it possibly.
    To get serious fading I have to resort to the rubberband technique and end up setting 4 keyframs.
    Am I just not understanding how to use the supplied audio transitions... should I hear some really noticable change if I use one, or not.
    Maybe I need to make my own, but I could use a little help on that.  I'd like to end up with a serious dip in volume as the cursor crosses from one clip to another.
    Its a real time sync if you have a lot of clips, to have to set and adjust 4 keyframes at each junction.

    Harry,
    It sounds like you want the equivalent of an audio "dip to black"; in other words, you want the outgoing audio to ride from 100% volume down to 0% volume, and then the incoming audio to ride from 0% back to 100% volume. Unfortunately, there is no built-in audio transition that does this--they all function as crossfades with the volume from both audio clips being mixed during the entire duration of the transition.
    Thankfully, there's a pretty easy and versatile solution, though it does involve a little setup legwork on your part. When in doubt, roll yer own
    Drop an audio clip or a video clip with audio into a sequence, and go to the beginning of the clip.
    With the clip selected, create a fade in using two volume keyframes, to the duration you desire. You already mentioned that you know how to rubberband the volume, and that's all you're doing here. You can either set this up in your sequence, or the effects control panel, whichever is easier for you. You can also Control+click the keyframes to turn them into Bezier keyframes, so that you can ease in and out of the keyframes, if you like.
    In the effects control panel, under Audio Effects, right-click on the word "Volume", and select "Save Preset". In the dialog that appears, name your preset (i.e. Volume Fade In 1 second), select Anchor to In Point, and add a description if you like. When you hit OK, the preset will be saved in your effects bin under Presets, where you can categorize them later.
    With this done, select the keyframes you created and delete them, or toggle the stop watch on and off to remove the keyframes. If you do the latter, you'll need to hit the keyframe button to remove the keyframe that is automatically keyframed.
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 above but instead of creating a fade in, create a fade out using the same techniques. Save the preset again using the same procedure, but selected Anchor to Out Point, and change the name to reflect that it's a fade out.
    You'll now have two custom fades in your Presets bin. You can select all of your clips that you want to apply the fades to and drag first one preset and then the other onto all of the selected clips. The reason you need to create two presets instead of one is because you probably want to maintain the duration of your fades, and the only way you can do this is to select the "Anchor to" options. If you created a fade in and fade out on one clip and selected Scale, the duration of the fades would be based on the duration of the clip; not likely what you want.
    Hope that helps a bit...

  • Setting audio transitions in to out??

    Say I've got 40 audio edit points. Can I apply the default audio transition to every point on my timeline at once...say between my in and out point?
    Learned this on Media Composer and it was very handy....just having a hard time finding it on CS6....which I have enjoyed learning.

    Select the audio clips, then go to Sequence>Apply Default Transitions to Selection.

  • Audio crossfade appears inactive (grayed out) when adding it to audio transitions

    Not sure what I am doing wrong here...
    I cannot directly insert audio crossfades into transitions on my audio timeline withought going to the transition point and then clicking sequence > apply audio transition from the main menu. But even then once it is added it appears inactive (grayed out) and I cannot change the lengh or style of the fade...
    Another thing that keeps happening is the program keeps crashing. I get the pinwheel of death and I have to restart the program manually. I dont have any other programs open and my computer is quite beefed up so I don't know what is causing this..
    Thanks for your help!

    Try trashing the preferences with this free app as a first step.

    I had a slightly similar experience (but no black frames) a month ago, described here.

  • "Dip to black" audio transition?

    Anyone know where I could find an audio transition that will do basically the same thing as a dip to color video transition? Just need one clips audio to fade out, then the next one fade in.

    Actually, if you spent more time with the manuals and software, we might not need to look at this post.
    Notice that FCP gives you 2 default audio transitions - crossfades ( +3db, or 0db). Choose 0bd. It's also in the browser under effects, drag it from there. This should give you what you want but it's not ideal by far, needs rendering and avoids keyframing, which is pretty crucial to editing.
    If you feel static it's probably because people read posts and wonder how someone can edit a sequence and not know these things.
    Peace

  • Can you use audio transitions if you forgot to add handles??

    SO i completely forgot to add handles and i was wondering if you can still SOMEHOW add in audio transitions if you can how do you do it!?? SIGGHHH and also what's the best time limit to have for handles or does it depend on what you want?

    As it says in the *FCP User Manual (III-374):*
    Clips must have handles if you want to transition between them.
    In order to get some handles, you will need to trim your clips. Read the manual section on rolling, it is a very helpful tool to understand.

  • Missing Video & Audio transitions in FPC 4.5

    Hello I recently replaced my HD and reinstalled all my Apps. After downlaoding 2 hrs of video on my scratch drive and getting ready to edit I noticed my effects tab is missing and when I look in the menu under effects (specifically video and audio transitions ) they are all greyed out as if unavailable ( which they are ). I reinstalled FPC and ran the SW updates and reopened the project but there are still no video and audio transition effects available.
    Can any one help pleaase.
    Many thanks.

    There's a way to get it back. Just can't remember off the top of my head. I'll be back in the office tomorrow and see if I can figure it out. but in the meantime.... Is there an item in the windows menu (if there is a windows menu) for effects. If so, call it up and then drag it back into the browser. Worst case scenario, get fcprescue (do a search here and make sure you get the correct version for fpc 4.5) and delete the preferences. The effects tab in the browser will return as it's part of the default preferences.

  • Creating a Custom Audio Transition

    My boss has a client that is not satisfied with the audio fades that FCP comes with. He has created a fade-in and a fade-out that the client is happy with by using audio keyframes to manually control the action. He now needs to apply this to the tips and tails of about 70 different audio tracks. Does anyone know how to create an audio transition such as the cross fades that already are installed with FCP? I'm still pouring through the manuals and this forum but it's been hours and I haven't found anything helpful yet! Thanks for the help

    If the levels are even throughout the rest of each clip (except for the fade-ins and fade-outs), do the keyframing on one clip then copy it. Next, select all other clips that you want to apply the fades to and right-click on one and select Paste Attributes. When the window opens, click the button next to Audio-Levels.

  • Audio transitions missing from CS6 for mac

    When I go in the effects window and click on the audio transition bin nothing appears.
    Are the files there but because of a glitch i cant see them or are the files missing?
    I guess I need to get something to fix the glitch if that or where can i find the missing files to download?
    Oh and I added Adobe premiere pro CS6 through a download through amazon.com

    I have this too and I haven't been able to find any info on the net about this.
    I have no audio transitions or effects at all.  Would love to find out how to fix this.

  • Moving Multiple Audio Transitions

    This is a big one for me. I'm trying to apply and modify audio transitions to multiple tracks at the same time. First off it appears that I cannot move more than one transition at a time.  Is this true?
    If it is it will slow me down a ton. I'm used to Avid's, where I type in the duration and alignment, the adjust accordingly.  I hate using the mouse for this. Is there a way to do it all with the keyboard?

    AFAIK, there is no way to do what you want (which is perfectly reasonable, BTW). At least it's not in the FCPX documentation or something I've been able to discover by using every combination of modifier keys I could think of. One at a time seems to be the current limitation.
    If anyone knows something different, hopefully they'll chime in.

  • Working with audio transitions

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f2ea .html

    The help file says:

    What about the Exponential Fade transition?

  • Can you make an audio transition in Motion 5? If so, how?

    I remember before I upgraded to FCPX the previous version of Final Cut had audio transitions (a cross fade 0Db and a cross fade +3Db). I have not needed an audio transition in Final Cut until now and I couldn't find one in FCPX. So I set out to build one in Motion 5 (I have experience in creating my own generators and transitions in motion) but I could not seem to figure out how to work with audio. If someone could please give me some pointers or let me know if this is even possible that would be great. Thanks, Jobstevenson.

    Hi
    Motion is a graphics tool, and not designed to work with audio.
    You will want to look at the manual for FCPX to find out how to do audio dissolves. I'm guessingt he audio will need to be in a Storyline for you to beable to do this. The other wa is the have the audio as connected clips and simply add a fade up and and down to the clip end and start.

  • When I automate to sequence I get no audio transitions.

    I am working with clips from my Sony PMW-200. When I automate a bunch of clips to sequence the video transitions are there, but no audio transitions. I have been using Premiere Pro for years and this has never happened to me before.

    When Premiere is acting weird: reboot computer then hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
    See if that will help.

  • Audio transitions adjust on both sides of cut

    I am new to cloud. In my previous versions of Premiere Pro, CS5 and beyond, when I would adjust how far the audio transition (e.g. constant power) goes into a clip it would simply only apply to the side I clicked on. On the CC version it adjusts both sides of the transition. Is there a way to disable that/turn it off permanently (just for audio and/or video too), or a keyboard shortcut to use when I click and drag the transition?

    Shift did it, I think I tried everything but that one before I inquired, lol, thanks!
