Applying Transitions to multiple clips

I would love to apply a dissolve to many clips at once... can i? how?
also, i want to save the DIP TO COLOR DISSOLVE to WHITE but it's not saving it. it's always Black and then i have to adjust it manually.
is it possible to save the transition to white?
thanks!!!

An alternative is to create a second Dip to color dissolve transition that always shows up with white as default colour, even if you lose your favourite folder content (i.e. trashing preferences).
I changed for you the default color to white in the " Dip to color (White) " plugin downloadable below:
[www.videonline.co.uk/DipTo_ColorWhite.fcfcc.zip]
After downloading it drag it to Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support /Final Cut Pro System Support / Plugins folder.
Restart FCP and you'll have it showing up in FCP dissolve transition folder with the name extention (White).

Applying the same transition between multiple clips

Does any know how to apply the same transition to multiple clips that are all ready in the timeline? I remember attending an Adobe Premiere Workshop years ago and I'm sure they demonstrated that technique. It's would be such a time saver. Perhaps it was a Final Cut Workshop.

Don't you get something like this:
That works perfectly for me. Have you updated to CS4 4.1?

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

Applying a transition to multiple clips, titles, and stills

Hello,
I'm banging my head against the wall trying to achieve something that seems like it should be fairly simple.
I'm producing guitar instruction videos that often use still images, five or more title clips (for text highlighting concepts presented in the video), and generator clips (used for masking). All of this is layered over the primary shot of me talking to/playing for the camera.
I'm looking into using a simple transition like "Slide" between chapters/sections of the video to prevent jump cuts. My goal is to include all clips in the transition: That is, if I only apply Slide to the two clips in the storyline, the other clips connected to the later clip in the storyline--titles, still images, etc.--remain stationary, which looks wierd. I want the whole enchilada--everything visible, still images and titles included--to slide over in unison. And I want to be able to do this 5-10 times over the course of a 5-minute video, and I'll be producing 20-50 videos. So I need an efficient workflow.
A simple example would be the edit at 1:47 in this video I producted:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Yvef14A00
I'd like to apply a slide transition so that not only the image of my holding my guitar, but also the title "Stage 2", slid over the preceding footage.
And more importantly, what if, in addition to the text "Stage 2," there was a still image and several other titles? How would I get all of them to slide over together?
Storylines don't seem to be the answer--You'd have to create a different one for each additional clip, which seems cumbersome. And compound clips and transitions don't seem to mix well--when I try to transition between compound clips I'm told there isn't enough extra media to create the transition.
Thanks so much,
Rob

Thank you Jakob, this will make things quicker once I know how to apply the transition.
But it doesn't answer my primary question: How to apply the transition.
Maybe some screenshots would illustrate the problem:
Image 1
www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/1.png
Here the playhead is just before an edit point between two sections: The Guitar Strap section and the Capo section. Right now, a single still image is visible (dude with a chain for a guitar strap).
Image 2
www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/2.png
Here the playhead is at the edit point where I want to apply a Slide transition. As you can see, in addition to the clip in the storyline (video of me holding my guitar), there are four title clips and two generator clips. I'd like all seven of those clips to slide across the still image of the dude with the chain guitar strap.
Does that make things clearer?

Applying Effect to Multiple Clips?

Hi,
Is there a way within Final Cut Express to apply a single effect such as Chroma Keyer to multiple clips? I've seen this done with Final Cut Pro but can't seem to replicate it in FCE.
Thanks for your help.

You do it exactly the same way you could do it in FCP. Drag the filter onto multiple selected clips, or copy a clip with the filter and use the paste attributes function.

How do you apply a transition to multiple clips? NOT using default transition.

Using CS6
I have videos on one track and titles on another track. I want to apply dissolve to black for the videos and gradient wipe to the titles.
Right now I have to assign dip as the default transition, select all the video, and apply default transition. Then find the gradient wipe, change *that* to the new default transition, select all the titles, and apply default transitions. Then I have to go back and reset my default transition to gradient wipe since that's my "main" default transition.
Uhhhh... why can't we just select a bunch of clips and drag ANY transition to the selection and have it apply just like regular effects? Why force us to do this complicated singular default transition dance?

Hi D. Vivian,

What you need to do is to select the clips and enable trim (some red brackets will appear at the beginning or end of the clips).
I just marquee drag with the Roll tool to select the edit points.

Then, right click and Apply default transition.
Or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + D (Windows) or CMD + D (Mac).
Thanks,

Applying transitions to multiple slides

How do I set a transition to apply it to a number of slides without doing them one by one?
I've tried selecting one then scrolling down, holding down the shift key and selecting another - which highlights all the slides between. However, when I click on the 1st slide to select it, it undoes my group selection.
I've tried holding the cmd key down and selecting. This keeps the group selection but has no effect on the transition which only works on the first slide I select.

before selecting slides, make sure the Inspector Window with Transitions Pane is open and ready for you to select the transition you want for all slides. Highlight all the slides you want to have the same transition. Select the transition you want for all slides. This will apply it to all slides selected/highlighted.
good luck.

Transitions to multiple clips in one step

I have about 100 hundreds still images and I have to apply same transitions about them. Is there a way to do it in one step? I tried to select them all and apply, i.e., cross-dissolve, but FCE put it only one at the point where I click..

In case it jogs your memory, the auto select buttons look like this: !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3656/34609963720f9084a4e1m.jpg!
Whereas the patch panel looks like this: !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3654/3460180481d57b9a7e63m.jpg!
In that screenshot of the patch panel, the video patch is set to track V1 (this is indicated by the v1 to the left of V1). To set the patch to another track, click next to the patch panel in that track. If I wanted to set the patch to track V2, I would click next to the V2 patch panel so that v1 moves to V2.
I hope this makes sense, I can see how it might get a little confusing.

Applying effects to multiple clips or an entire sequence on a separate video track

I'm looking for an easy way to apply effects on a separate video track. In AVID I would just drag and drop the effect preset onto a blank layer. Or if I wanted the clip to affect just a few clips, I would add two edits (similar to razor blade) on a separate video track and drag the effect preset between those edit points. Is there a way to do this in Premiere Pro? Running CS 5.0.4. Thanks for the help!

Well, depending on what you want to do, you might actually be able to use a clip instance of one sort or another.
One option is Transparent Video (File > New > Transparent Video); by itself, Trans. Video doesn't do anything, but some effects can be applied to it and will generate an output. This doesn't work with all effects, so you'll have to experiment. Check here for more: Create a transparent video clip
Another option would be to use a Color Matte (File > New > Color Matte) or Black Video (File > New > Black Video) clip. These do have an effect by themselves, so you could apply any effect you wanted to them, and then possibly use a Blending Mode to apply it. Black Video is common for this purpose, with something like the Add mode. Again, not perfect, but it will depend on the effect you're trying to achieve.
Unfortunately, we don't have anything like AE's adjustment layers in Premiere Pro. That would solve your problem, quickly.

Applying transitions in multi-clips

Hi,
Anyone knows how to switch between different angles (in multiclip) while applying a transition? Is it possible to do with FCP 5.0.4?
Thanks...
~ymotion

Not sure 5.0.4 had multiclip...does it? I jumped from 4.5 to 5.1
Not at my system and can't remember if there's a dedicated function for this, since I rarely use transitions.
If I need a transition, I simply wait until after I've locked the edit and collapsed the multiclip, then apply the transition.
Have you checked the 5.0 manual?

Applying Transitions

Hi,
Is there a way of applying the same transition between multiple clips at once rather than dragging them between each pair of clips one at a time?
Thanks
Jim

Right click on the transition you want as default and select "Set as default transition".
Then go to the Media Bin (in the Edit tab not the Organizer tab) and select (Crtl + click on each still/clip, or use Shift and select first and last) the stills/clips you want in your video. At the top of the Media Bin click on the "More" button and select Create Slideshow (or right click on the clips and select Create Slideshow). Set your options and the video will appear on the timeline with the default transition.

Unable to apply transitions in the timeline

Have copied 4 video clips into the timeline and am unable to create any video transitions between them. I have tried to selecting the area between the two. I am able to this, but when I try to use the Effects/video transitions/cross dissolve I get the message:
"There was insufficient media for the requested transition at one or more edit points. Would you like to accept the others?"
Video transitions worked without a hitch in my earlier versions of FCP?

I'm not having the same problem, but it's definitely not a handle/media problem. I can't even apply transitions to text clips... *or to a Through Edit* where I know there's continuous media. I've tried Command-T, dragging the transition icon from the Browser, copying and pasting, and right-clicking on the edit point and selecting "Add Transition... ".
I've also tried repairing permissions, trashing my preferences, starting a new project and moving all of the elements into the new project, and starting a new Sequence. NOTHING WORKS.
Please advise, thanks.
FCP 7.0.3 running on OS 10.6.8.

How to apply audio and video transitions automatically when drop multiple clips to timeline?

If I remember OK, in previos versions of Premiere it was possible to Drag multiple Clips from project area to timeline, and apply automatically audio/video transitions.
It was possible to configure how many video frames will be overlapped to do a default transitions (and for audio, also).
Is it possible in Premiere CS6 to do the same thing ? Leave me a link to documentation, or a hint, how to get this thing done.
I have searched over the documentation, but i have not found.
Thanks for hints.

I believe the feature you're referring to is Automate to Sequence. In CS6, it was in the Project Menu; for those using CC, it is in the Clip Menu.

How to apply 3 way color correction to multiple clips in Final Cut Pro?

I have multiple clips from the same time and space footage that need color correction. I have worked on one of the clips and found the settings I like.
Is there a way to apply that correction to other clips without starting from scratch on each one?
Thanks!

SoCal (above) listed one way. Another way you can do it if you like the color correction that you have done and want to save it, you can click the picture of the hand in the color correction tab and drag it into the browser. This saves that specific arrangement of colors, highlights, etc.
Also, this might be a little easier but instead of pasting attributes and right clicking you can just grab the hand (that I just talked about) and drag it onto the clips you want to apply the same color correction to. The hand is located in the color correction tab (in viewer) and is under the "numeric" button.
Note: All of your clips in your timeline will have different contrasts, brightness, colors, etc. NO clip is going to have the EXACT same attributes as another. It doesn't matter how expensive and professional your camera is. Every shot is different whether you are using artificial lighting or the natural lighting. Having that said, you will probably still need to adjust your different clips a little bit to make them look like they are in the same room at the same time. Hopefully if your lucky or had perfect lighting for all of your shots, you will not have to do much messing around with your contrast, brightness, etc. Good luck!

How to apply Time Remap to multiple clips simultaneously

Quite often after trimming many different clips for a wedding video I will then want the majority of them slowed down to a 50% speed. I know how to apply the Time Remap Speed % change in the Motion Tab, but have yet to figure out how to make the change to multiple clips simultaneously.
Thanks for your help!

You can apply a speed change from one clip to multiple clips by copying the first one, then pasting attributes (option + V, then select speed from the list) onto as many clips as you have selected.
Just be aware that this will ripple your timeline by extending all of your clips. FCP keeps the original out point of the source clip, not the out point of each cut on the T/L.
