Automatic Transitions

I'm having a slight problem with automatic transitions in my projects. iMovie doesn't add a transition between the first two clips for some reason. I can easily add one when I'm done adding clips, but it bothers me that I have to do this and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

What you are doing, or attempting, is what I need to do. You are a few steps ahead but if I can catch up I try to assist. Critical bit I don't know is how to assign a transition to another slide at the end of a build. How did you do that? How can you set automatic transitions between slides? I felt like I read about it somewhere but cannot find it now.

Hello I'm new to this forum so I hope someone may be able to help me. I'm trying to add an automatic transition to this Image Gallery that uses and XML data file. I have everything the way I like it, but now I need to have the images and the dynamic text field to rotate like a slide show.

thank you.

I would be happy to help you out
Here are some instructions for an example where a door moves down and up to reveal different contents:
1. On Page1 draw a red circle and a green circle
2. Group the circles (I found a bug, this is a work around, so I will explain later)
3. Hide the green circle by toggling the eyeball in the Layers panel
4. Click "Duplicate state". You are now in Page2
5. In Page2, hide the red circle by toggling the eyeball in the Layers panel
6. On Page2 draw a brown square (the door). Make sure the door is big enough to cover both circles
7. Position the door up high above the stage
8. Go to Page1 and toggle the eyeball for the door to make it visible in Page1 as well
You have have two pages. The door is visible and in the same place in both pages. The door is also up above the stage. One circle is visible in page2 and another circle is visible in Page2
9. Select the Page1 > Page2 transition in the Timeline panel
10. Select the door on the stage and click Add Action > Move in the timeline. Do this again so you have two Move bars in the timeline for the door
11. Position the Move bars so one occurs after the other
12. Notice there is a Fade bar for each of the circles since they are fading in/fading out. Drag these bars so that they fade right at the junction between the two move effects
13. Now we need to define how the door moves. Select the first Move bar and change the X, Y values in the properties editor to be x=0, y=600
14. Select the second Move bar and change the values to be x=0, y= -600
15. Create a button that navigates to Page2 when clicked
I have attached an example FXP file
Note: the bug I found was this. If I did not group the circles then during the animation one of the circles would appear above the door. I logged this bug and it should be fixed in the next beta. I found grouping the circles avoided the problem

Automatic transition from one state to another

I am newbie to Cat and I have a simple three state (page) project and I just need it to automatically go from state 1 to state 2 to state 3 and then repeat the squence again. This is a banner ad for three differenct products.
The question: How do I setup an automatic transition from state to state?

Hi,
Thanks a lot. Even I am a newbie like u to Flash catalyst. The solution u gave works only when we have 2 pages. I have 6 pages (states) in my application. So please let me know if u come across any other solution.
Thanks a lot for ur help.

Added automatic transitions - pictures flash during cross-dissolve

Hi
I added automatic transitions (cross-dissolve for .5 seconds) to my project (45 minutes). It's mostly 7-second pictures with a few movies here and there - but after watching it in iMovie, after the 5th or 6th picture, there are short blips/flashes of other previously seen pictures during the cross-dissolve transition...is this only in iMovie or if I export it will it be like this too?
Thanks

I haven't seen this issue, but it should not be a problem when you export.
If you would like to test it without sharing your whole 45 minute movie, you can go into the project list, and DUPLICATE your project by right-clicking on the project name. Then delete all but the first 5-6 minutes from the duplicate project, and share it.

Does Encore CS6 have automatic transitions between menus ?

I have Encore CS3 presently and if I want to do fades between menus I have to do them in After Effects and import them into Encore.
On my MAC I have DVD Studio Pro which does menu transitions for you automatically when you set them up.
My question is: can Encore CS6 do automatic transitions/fades now?

No. Feature request here:

For Making iDVDs: How to do I set my videos so they automatically transition to the next video instead of going back to the main menu every time?

Hello out there!
Im trying to create a magic iDVD and I have some difficulty navigating my options. Some of my video's that I'd like to add are very short clips and I'd like view them back to back without having to go back to the main menu everytime after every short video clip. For example: a 1:08 minute video of my daughter's birthday and then a 3 minute video of her bithday...how do I make it so the 1:08 minute video automatically transitions to the 3 minute video without me having to go back to the main menu to manually select the next video?
Please advise! Thank you so much
citule

You can't. But (there's always a but) if you have enough room (i.e. playing time) available in the project you can create a slideshow in iDVD
and add all of the videos to it.
If you do that set the Slide Duration time to anything except Manual or Set to Music. Also do not select an transition.
When you click on the Create Project button in Magic Movie you'll be able to use the "+" button to add the slideshow to the top menu.

Automatic transition AFTER QT movie is finished?

I'm showing a 5 minute QT movie on one slide and trying to make it automatically transition to the next slide AFTER the QT movie is finished. How do I do this since the 'delay' only goes up to 60seconds? Thanks.

If I understand this problem correctly, this is what I've done to accomplish the automatic transition after the end of a quicktime movie has played in Keynote 2. First I get info about the movie (command-i) which tells me very accurately the duration of the movie.
Second, after insertion of the movie into a custom frame in the presentation, I go to the inspector and the transition window for the slide and in the lower right hand window set the time of the delay for the transition to the duration time for the movie. By the way, highlight the box and type whatever delay time you require into the box. I've had no problems with this technique, and have set times of over five minutes by typing in the number of seconds required to cover the movie.
Third, choose automatically from the drop down menu for start of transition.
Fourth, play the movie and adjust the time if you are little long or short because of other transitions which may accompany the slide.

Video not starting if using Automatic Transition

I have a looping keynote pres that runs announcements that we put on our digital signage. So far, I've always only put graphics with transitions..
Now, i'm trying to put a video that I did in FCP. It's a 30sec h264 at 29.97. If i put the slide transition to Automatically at any time, it refuses to play the video. It shows the first frame, and then a frame about 240 frames in, and then stays there until its time to auto transition.
If i turn off auto transition and do on click, it plays just fine.
I've tried changing the build order specifics and whether I have the build in effect to start movie or not makes no difference.
bring on the suggestions!
Thanks, Erik

Thanks. I had installed an new super drive and had to install a fix to get it to burn. I guess all of my preferences got reset. I couldn't figure out why iTunes wasn't writing in my CD as AIFF. I had the settings wrong. I found that I also had to change my import preferences to AIFF and not MPEG.
Now when I use the AIFF version of the song in iMovie, I don't have the problems of my video jumping. Yeah!! I haven't checked what get's sent to iDVD yet, but I'm assuming that will work also.

How do I switch off automatic transitions?

I have Premiere Elements 11. Every time I import a film from the Organiser to the timeline, transitions are automatically inserted between each scene. How do I stop this?

janealing
Until proven otherwise, there are no "adjusts" for the Elements Organizer 11's with regard to "automatic video transitions" placement associated with "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor". It is what it is.
Here is what I am seeing....if you use Edit with Premiere Elements Editor in Elements Organizer 11 for just 3 jpg photos, yes you will get the automatic default video transition placement. But, if I do the same thing with just video, no I do not get the automatic video transition placement.
In your question, are you referring to a mix on the Expert workspace Timeline...jpgs and videos?
Obviously import one at a time from Elements Organizer 11 or just using Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from the hard drive save location of the files would take care of the matter.
Let me think about this some more.
Thanks.

Automatic transition at end of video?

I would like to have Keynote automatically change to the next slide when a video on the current slide is done playing. Anyone know whether this is possible?
I have tried using the transition delay, but there is some confusing interaction between the delays in the build process and the transition delay, so I have not been able to achieve acceptable results. It would all be much easier if I could just have the transition begin immediately after the video has completed, but I cannot find a way to make this happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, currently, there's no reliable way to make a slide transition occur just as a movie ends. If the movie is fairly short, it's closer to accurate, but the longer the movie, the wider the variance in timings from play to play.
I'd recommend sending feedback to Apple.

Visual Composer: Timer: Automatic transition between layers

Hi,
I have created a model with 3 layers - users can click on any layer (transition) to switch layers. Now I want to automate the transition so that every 10 seconds or so the visible layer changes automatically (and refreshes the data) without any user interaction.
I tried to use a timer outside the layers, inside the source and target layer but regardless - the tick event is not picked up by the guard condition of the second layer.
Any ideas how to automate the transition?
Thanks
Norman Ruppert

Try the following:
1.) Set a storage variable containing your transition value (e.g. layer_ID). Set the default value to 1.
2.) Bind the variable to your timer to update it to value + 1 (layer_ID = Layer_ID + 1) when the timer tick event fires. Add formula logic to allow value to set back to one (IF layer_ID > max_layers, 1, layer_ID = Layer_ID + 1) if you want it to reset itself.
3.) Set a gaurd condition on the timer to traverse to the next layer using formula logic to enable.

Automatic Transition not working

Hi,
I have 5 Bullets set to appear 30 seconds aparts (they appear more like 50 seconds apart but that's not my problem.
My problem is that I would like the entire slide to transition automatically after 360 seconds. Which Keynote 3 refuses to do.
I can't even get the "on click" transition to work. Any idea how this can be fixed?
I obviously need to transition from the slide to the next.

Mark,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
You did set "Start Transition" on Slide inspector to "Automatically" and a value at "Delay"?
I tried smaller values (5 sec and 10 sec) and it worked.

LInks in Flash CC after automatic transition to new scene are not working

I have a flash file containing three scenes- Scene1, Scene2 and Scene3. In Frame1 I have a loading screen animated with motion tween. I also include a function, which automatically transfer me to Scene2 after 10 sec. However after I go to Scene2 the buttons to go to Scene3 are not working. I've tried to remove Frame1 and then the buttons that are linking Scene2 and Scene3 are working, Do you have an idea where the problem might come from? Here is my code:
var loadNumber = 0; stop(); loadingPercents.text = loadNumber.toString() + "%"; /* Countdown Timer Counts down from a specified number of seconds. Instructions: 1. To change the length of the countdown, change the value 10 in the first line below to the number of seconds you want. */ var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 10; var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown); fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler); fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start(); function fl_CountDownTimerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void { trace(fl_SecondsToCountDown + " seconds"); fl_SecondsToCountDown--; loadNumber +=10; loadingPercents.text = loadNumber.toString() + "%"; } stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_EnterFrameHandler); function fl_EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void { if (loadNumber > 99) { gotoAndPlay(1,"Frame2"); } }
and for scene3:
import fl.motion.MotionEvent; stop(); BackFromPrizes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goBackFromScene3); function goBackFromScene3(event: MouseEvent): void { gotoAndStop(1, "Scene2"); }
Thanks

if the code you showed fails (and it's executing), you have no scene named "Scene2".
btw, "Scene2" is not the same as "Scene 2" or "scene2 or "scene 2", which would all be common typos.

Stopping Automatic transition to new slide

Hello,
I'm sure this is right in front of my face somewhere, but I
cannot figure out how to stop captivate from automatically
proceeding to next slide. I've created a full motion video that
spans over two slides. After then end of slide one, it
automatically goes to slide two. I've inserted a transparent button
I want the user to click before proceeding to the slide two, and
gave it the action of "Go To Next Slide" when clicked. Doesn't work
though... Slide still automatically moves on without having to
click first. I didn't see anything under slide properties for this
either.
Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to our community, Jason!
Normally you pause a slide by inserting either a Button or
Click Box object. These two objects pause the slide dead in its
tracks until the user clicks. However, whether the slide pauses or
not is your choice. You may turn it off if you need to. But by
default, they pause.
Cheers... Rick

How do I automatically transition from page to page (on a specific date and time)??

I am trying to make a site that contains multiple pages. Each page will have one full screen image. (its a schedule) I would like be able to have my pages change at specific times throughout the day. Is there a way in muse to tell the pages when to change?

I believe you are referring to change of image on page with specific time within a day.
