Applying a transition to an entire sequence?

Is there a way to bulk-apply a transition to an entire sequence? For instance, if I have a multi-clip edited with just straight-cuts, and want each cut to be a cross-dissolve? It takes forever to apply a transition to each cut afterwards. Thank you!

Set your default transition.
Then select the complete sequence timeline and drag it into the canvas choosing the overwrite with transition.

  • Need to apply a video filter to entire sequence...

    Hey gang-
    I'd really like to apply some filters (such as some color correctors and such) to an entire sequence. Same filter on all video. Copy and paste seems like a terrible waste of time, and short of exporting it and "flattening" it to it's own quicktime, I don't know how.
    Thanks in advance....

    Many ways:
    1. Do it for one, then use the Select All Tracks Forward button (one of the forward arrows in the toolbar next to the audio meters) and drag the name of the filter from the Filters tab in the first clip onto the selected clips.
    2. Do it for one clip, then copy the clip. Select all the others, then ctrl-click and go to Paste Attributes. Then select Filters.
    3. Create a new sequence, then drag the old sequence into the new one. This will nest the sequence. Apply the color correction to the nested clip. This is probably the most flexible as it is much easier to make changes to the filters later on.

  • How do you add a dissolve transition to an entire sequence at once?

    I know there is a simple way to add the default dissolve transition to a whole sequence at once. I did a recital with two cameras using the PPR Multicamera. I want to add a dissolve transition but there's plenty of them and I don't want to do that one at a time.
    Thanks

    Go to the Premiere Pro forum and post your question there. That's where the experts are.

  • Can I apply proc amp filter to entire sequence like in Avid land?

    Was up against a white sky and dark skinned people.  Of course I exposed for the skintones,
    so now I'm stuck with non-broadcast safe white levels.  When in Avid land I remember being able to
    create a new video track and apply the proc amp filter there.  Is this somehow possible in FCP 6?
    Yes, it's for air, and yes, I know broadcasters have limiters.  Any suggestions?

    Nesting the Sequence will allow you to apply a filter to eveything at once.
    Another way, do one clip and adjust the filter to your taste. Right click that clip on the Timeline and copy it.
    Highlight all other clips, right click and choose "Paste Attributes > Filters" That will apply the same setting to all the others and you can still tweak individual shots if they don't look quite right.

  • Effect to Affect Entire Sequence?

    Is there a way to apply an effect to an entire sequence without nesting the sequence into another sequence? In avid you just apply an effect like a matte to an empty video track above a large section of video and affect a whole range of clips. Is there a way to do that?
    I'm also wondering if there is a way to remove effects from a selection of clips without loading each clip individually in the browser?
    Thanks,
    S

    Other than using the method Jim mentioned (which also works for copying attributes (filters etc) to other clips.
    Add effect to first clip.
    Get it looking the way you want.
    Select all other clips you want the effect to affect.
    Open FILTERS tab in viewer.
    Click and drag effect or effects to selected clips in timeline.

  • Can't apply audio transitions over some sequence joins

    I have a rough cut sequence I'm putting together and am trying to apply a cross fade over 2 sequences. For some reason I can't apply the transition over the splice area...it will go to one seq or the other (icon is |= ) other parts work fine (icon is =|= )
    There are 6 seq's in this cut 4 transitions work as I expect...2 don't
    any ideas what I'm doing wrong???

    For every clip you put on the timeline there is a clip in and clip out.  The clip also has two physical ends of the media file.
    If the clip out of the outgoing clip is the same as the end of the media file, OR, the clip in of the incoming clip is the same as the start of the media file, you cannot place a transition--there must be overlap for most transitions.
    Go to the junction between the two clips you are trying to place a transition:
    Using the trim tool, drag the clip out of the outgoing clip back an amount equal to 50% of the transition duration
    Using the trim tool, drag the clip in of the incoming clip forward an amount equal to 50% of the transition duration
    If this created a gap between the two clips, do a ripple delete of the gap.
    By dragging the clip in and clip out with the trim tool, you moved them away from the physical ends of the media file  you now have what Harm refers to a handles.  You can now place your transition.
    As Harm said: "Read the manual," and everything will be made known to you.

  • Unable to play back entire sequence in CS4

    I'm transitioning from FCP to Premiere and am having an odd issue with a project. I cut up a clip with the razor blade tool, copied it a few times, reversed some in the speed/duration panel and arranged them in a sequence. I then rendered the entire work area. However, when I try to play back my sequence, it just plays less than a second and then the marker on the timeline returns to the original point. I feel stupid asking this, but...uh, how do I just play back my entire sequence? I must be missing something here.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I thought this could have been the problem as the files are on a different disk from the application, but launching premiere as root yields the same issue.  The option to repair permissions on the secondary drive (where the files are located) is greyed out in Disk Utility, possibly because I disabled permissions for everything on that disk.  I even tried logging in as a user on that drive and launching Premiere, but then I get a "media pending" screen in the program window.
    Any more ideas?

  • Transitions set for entire slide show?

    In '09, can one set transition times for an entire show or are they still set individually as in '08. Can't decide whether to use iMovie or Keynote for photo slide shows and this is a key factor due to the number of slides.
    thanks

    As in '08, in the Slide Navigator simply select all the slide thumbnails and apply a transition and set the timing -- all slides will be affected. (You can select all the slides by a) clicking on the top slide, then shift-clicking on the bottom slide, or b) click-and-drag from the bottom of the left sidebar below the last thumbnail up to the top, or c) click in the sidebar and then in the Edit menu choose "Select All".)

  • Can't apply default transitions or copy attributes

    I have no means of getting Premiere to apply default transitions.
    I select clips, try via Sequence menu, nada
    I place the cursor on the timeline Ctrl-D, nothing happens
    I copy a clip and paste attributes - NOTHING. No change at all.
    Could there be any setting I didn't set? Default transitions are set, and I can copy/paste audio attributes/clip effects, but nothing happens in Video.

    Select clip and then go to select Sequence / Apply Default Transition To Selection (you can make this into a Keyboard Shortcut) this will make a transition at beginning and end of the clip at the same time. If you only want just one side, select the side with the Roll Edit or Ripple Trim tool and hit Apply Default Transition To Selection.
    If you want to put a cross dissolve between a whole bunch of clips. Select clip and hit Apply Default Transition to Selection.

  • Premier Pro CC 2014 - Apply Video Transition Bug

    When you add a Apply Video Transition, it doesn't use the current video I have been editing, it uses what was there.  In other words say, I remove some video I don't want and then I Apply Video Transition to the end cut I just made and then you have a new begin of a piece of video.  It's still using what I had there before.  It should be using what I have now not what was there.
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    Right click on either one of the two nested sequences - Right Small or Left Small, and from the drop down menu, choose Render and Replace.
    Does that help?

  • Exporting entire sequence (MPEG-2 DVD) exports entire sequence audio but only 2/3 video?

    I'm certain this is something simple but can't for the life of me figure out what is going on here.   My entire sequence is 24:10 long.  Export produces a video file that is 17:19 long and an audio file that is complete (24:10).  Looking at my sequence, 17:19 is precicely in between two clips (of dozens) but there doesn't appear to be anything interesting/unusual about either of those clips or the break and transition between them? 
    Help!!?   THANKS in advance!

    Either by playing the video file (it ends precisely between those two clips) , viewing it's length metadata in Windows, or after importing in to DVD Flick to burn a DVD. 
    Since I posted this question I tried exporting with H.264 YouTube preset and got entire sequence exported fine (video and audio).

  • How do I apply a transition to a group of clips?

    Hi,
    I want to apply a transition to a group of clips. I know how to select a group of clips, but I have not found how to apply the same transition on all of them. Can this be done in FCE?

    let:s say I want to apply the default transition to the group, how do I do it?
    Place the playhead at the start point in the Timeline.
    Select a group of clips that are contiguous.
    Drag them to the Canvas Overlay, Overwrite with Transition.
    Note: Media Handles must be available or you will get a warning message.
    And do I understand wright that I could also do it with a unique transition that I would place it in my >Favorites Bin? How would I do that?
    A Favorite works differently. There's no way to alter the Default transition in FCE. The Default is always a one second dissolve.
    To make a Favorite you can open an existing transition in the Timeline by double clicking it or just open a transition into the Viewer directly from the Browser. Existing is best as you can setup to see any changes in the Canvas.
    It opens in the Viewer with the controls showing.
    Placing the Playhead over the transition in the Timeline will give you immediate feedback of the changes in the Canvas.
    Make any adjustments like timing, angle, color etc.
    Look for a small hand icon at the top right of the Viewer.
    Click and drag this to the Favorites Bin.
    You will now see the new transition available for use with any new values.
    This Favorite can now be used as a transition in the usual way.
    There is no way to add the Favorite to more than one clip at a time.

  • When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

    This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.

  • Trimming a clip after I apply a transition

    I tried a search on this one, but no luck..
    So I've got a clip in the the timeline, and added a cross dissolve to the end of it for a fade out. Is there a way to trim the clip without deleting the transition off the end of it first?
    Thanks!

    If you're familiar with trimming using the keyboard, do the same thing you would if you didn't apply a transition. That is, (carefully) select the edit point (and not the transition) and use the [ and ] keys (with the Shift key, if you're looking to work several frames at a time) to trim.
    Or is that not working for you?

  • Export Setting: how to make "entire sequence" as default?

    Hi all,
    One of my largest pet peeves with Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder is that it defaults to the source range of "work area". I never want to do this. I want to export the full sequence always. However Premiere Pro seems to like to change the work area slider in the timeline if I move stuff around a lot, and since I've never had to worry about this in Final Cut Pro, I'm not used to always checking to see if the work area slider is the same length as my sequence. Thus there's been many a time where my videos have exported with a big chunk of black at the end of some videos.
    Is there a way to make the default source range be "entire sequence" rather than "work area"?
    Thanks,
    William

    Nope: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    In the meantime, zoom out full in your sequence (hit the '\' key) and double-click in the time ruler. That will set the WAB to the full duration of the sequence, so it won't matter if you're set to Work Area or Entire Sequence in the Export Settings.
    For what it's worth, I've also requested that the source range be able to be saved into encoding presets; that would help this situation somewhat, as well.
