Adding Dissolves in FCP after importing rendered clips from Color

Hi,
I'm editing a 4 minute sequence. I sent my edit to color, graded them accordingly, sent it back to FCP. I'm trying to add some cross dissolves between clips, but for some reason it is not allowing me to do so. Anyone come across this ?
Trying not to get in depth into the problem, the reason I didn't add the dissolves pre-color grading, is that some clips have their speed reduced. The clips that had their speed reduced weren't being properly recognized in color. So, I had to remove the dissolves, bring back the clips speed to 100% and then send it to color for grading, send it back to FCP, reduce the speed of the rendered clip. Except, now I can't add the dissolves. As a matter of fact, I can't add any dissolves on any rendered clip, except for Fades.

Specifying the addition and duration of "handles" is offered in the "Project Settings" tab of the Setup Room. The default value is one second.
The reason that you cannot stretch the trims on the exported rendered footage is that it is new independent media with no relationship to your original source clip. I should add that handles can affect the computed time offsets of certain types of COLOR operations, which will throw those effects out of sync.

  • When importing rendered clips from davinci into premiere they look darker and more contrasty.

    After importing the graded and rendered clips from davinci into premiere pro cc they look darker and more contrasty. I've checked the exported files from DaVinci and they look totally fine if you play them with any media player, but when I import them in Premiere Pro CC, they appear darker and way more contrasty than I've graded them in Resolve. Anyone have a solution for that?
    Thanks!

    This is a long-standing and complicated issue.  To start with, different media players interpret footage differently.  You can hope for the best, but there can be no expectation that footage in one player will look the same in another.  Ridiculous, but true.  The situation is further aggravated by different display cards and different monitors, and no prevailing standards of how color and levels are interpreted.
    In your specific case, you need to look at the waveforms, in Resolve and in PPro.  It sounds as if the blacks are being crushed in PPro, which could mean you're monitoring them at 64 in Resolve, but they're being output at 0 or remapped to 0 in PP.   This may also relate to whether you've monitoring with data or video levels in Resolve. 
    Is there a setting in PPro which covers how values are mapped, as data or video?  I think so, but just can't recall....  Anybody?  Staff?

  • Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found."  CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

    Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
    "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found." 
    CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

    I have the same problem.  I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'.  I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in.  I have seen no fix for this problem.

  • Import video clip from DVD

    Can anyone help me learn what I need to import video clips from my family video DVD's? I created the DVD's from tapes through Pinnacle Studio 8 (before becoming a Mac fan).
    Thanks for any help you can give me,
    Ann

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    My personal choice would be to edit them to a compatible format such as DV, you can do this with mpegstreamclip (free) provided you have the QT mpeg2 playback component installed (think it's $30), there are other third party software solutions, no doubt others will have their favourites.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Problem with importing a clip from another iMovie project

    Hello
    I want to import a clip from one iMovie project to another iMovie project.
    Both projects are in 16:9, but when I import a clip it's no longer in 16:9.
    The clip is croped and I have a black bar on the right and left side.
    How can I solve this ?
    Jufke

    Have you tried Copying the clip in Project A and Pasting it into Project B?
    When you Copy and Paste clips, try to Copy and Paste all at the same time. More here:

  • How to import AVCHD clips from HD camcorder?

    How I can import AVCHD clips from Sony HDR-TG1 with best possible quality to iMovie '09?
    Camera records clips as 1080i format but when I import them to iMovie '09 quality are cr*p. I have a same problem with iMovie '08. This has something to do with interlacing and single field processing but is there any workaround (other than using PC)?

    Preview playback may not be too good since QuickTime in general doesn't seem to deinterlace very well (when it deinterlaces at all).
    Quality of exported footage varies greatly according to whether or not you select +just the right+ export settings. See this thread for details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8859971
    If exporting to SD (particularly, to iDVD), see here:
    http://pond.org.uk/misc/imovieandhd/workflow.html
    I'm planning to update this guide soonish with information on how to end up with 720p60 output from 1080i60 input (i.e. in effect treat the input as 1920x540 at 60 frames/sec progressive, turning it into 1280x720 at 60 frames/set progressive).

  • HT2729 After import video,s from iphone to HP com puter all the video,s are sideways, how to fix this ?

    After import video,s from iphone 5 to a HP computer (Windows 7 ) all the video,s are sideways ! No problem with ipad4 Newest)
    How to fix this!

    Check to see if the phone has enough free space on it.  Go to Settings->About on you iPhone and see how much free space there is.  It's likely that your phone is out of free space.  You could also try using a free peice of software called Pic Share It, to drag and drop the video directly to your iPhone wirelessly.  Here's a video showing how it works.

  • I want to import short clips from home movies. How do I do this?

    I am wanting to import short clips from old family movies which are on DVD. What is the best program for this? I don't want to import the full DVD just several short clips and then be able to use these clips in imovie.

    You'll want to look at DVDxDV Pro.  It can select very small segments on a DVD using the expandable timeline.  This allows you to find exactly the part of the DVD that you want. It also has an iDVD export preset.
    This video shows you how to grab individual clips from the DVD.

  • How do i import video clips from iphoto to iMovie

    I've found dragging & dropping onto desktop & then drag & drop into iMovie works okay

  • I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

    iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?

    Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
    Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
    Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.

  • Importing video clips from iMac

    Hi all,
    I've just purchased a new iPhone 4 and can't seem to be able to import video clips from iPhoto onto the phone. Is there a particular format the files need to be or do I need another app or converter?
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    Toad, you are incorrect...
    However it is a PIA to get it to work.
    In very un-Apple-like fashion, it is a several step, unintuitive process that requires another program. Luckily a free program...
    1. Convert your file with Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) and use the iPad profile. (P.S. My original .mov file needed to be converted to work on iPad. The built-in "Create iPad or Apple TV version" function in iTunes would not work for me. I received a "The video is already in the correct format" message. Annoying...)
    2. Put the converted file into a folder
    3. With your iPad connected to your computer, go to iTunes and select the "Photos" tab on your iPad.
    4. IN the "Sync Photos From:" drop down box choose "Select folder" and select the folder that contains your video.
    5. Check the "Include Videos" check box.
    6. Hit the "Sync" button
    7. Now the video will be available in Keynote. No desktop version required...
    P.S. I am a PC... Not a Mac.

  • Whats the best way to import video clips from FCP into a personal template

    Hey all, I'm doing some tests. I see some color shifting going on when I export out of FCP using QT conversion (same settings as sequence), Importing into Motion, then adding lower third graphics, then exporting out of Motion .... and finally back to FCP. I put the new graphic added layer on top and have the original on bottom. I toggle the monitor on both layers and see a slight saturation drop on the graphic layer. Has anyone noticed that ?
    The reason Im doing this is because lets say I have lower thirds that I want to place throughout a hour show. I want to set-up a basic lower third template and just plug in the video clips for the areas that I need those graphics. It would be way to difficult to export out of the timeline in FCP
    and rebuild those lower thirds everytime in Motion. Does anyone know of a better way or does everyone have to export out to the desktop and then into Motion every time they want to use a Motion template.
    Thanks to any replies.

    Try roundtripping from FCP to Motion and back using Send to Motion. In FCP, Control Click your clip>Send To>Motion Project. The clip will open in Motion with the proper project properties. Make your edits there, press Save, and then render back in FCP. No exporting necessary, although you might see a gamma shift. Much easier.
    To do this with an existing Motion template, I'd try copying and pasting in that template's contents once you've sent to Motion from FCP.

  • Clips goes over red color after importing movies clips

    Clips goes overdosed by red color after importing movies clips

    I guess it doesn't look like that in the QuickTime player. 640x480? That's a computer form of NTSC yet you're using a PAL frame rate. That's very weird. What's the codec?
    You might also check the color space your display is set to, though the clip below it in the browser doesn't show the problem.

  • Help...! Importing a clip from FCP to Motion?

    I'm using FCS 5.1 and I'm totally new to it. I simply want to take a video clip from FCP and work with it on Motion. The said video clip is on a timeline, with in and out points already set. I simply want to take this small segment and add a cool effect to it on Motion. Since I have no idea how this is suppose to be done, I tried dragging the clip from the FCP timeline to the Motion window. This does not work.

    Hi:
