Black between video clips

I'm trying to insert black between video clips and can't seem to find the option to do so. I've tried inserting a text in black with a black background, but it just outlines it. I tried inserting a 10 sec 'fade to black' transition, but you can't insert anything into that 10 seconds. The only thing I can think to do is to film in a dark room or with the lens covered and to import that.... does anybody know what I can do? Please help!!
thanks~

Open the transitions menu (the square icon with 2 triangles to the right of the "T" (type) icon. All menu icons are located just below the right corner of your movie window. The music symbol, camera symbol, etc...
Choose the Fade to Black and drag it between the clips where desired effect should be. You can even double-click the transition once its placed into position and adjust the amount of fade time.
Hope this helps

  • Toggling between video clips (not audio clips) in the timeline

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a solution to this small inconvenience I am experiencing in FCP 5. When I have snapping enabled, and press the down arrow key, the playhead jumps to the next audio or video clip in the timeline. I am trying to find out if there is a way to jump between video clips only.
    Thank you
    -Peter

    Thanks,
    Do you know if there is a way to make the up/down arrows snap to only the video cuts on the video clips in the highest video tracks in the timeline? Thanks.

  • Do any one knows how to add those arrows from the right and left side of the screen in the youtube widget which allows you to navigate back and forth between video clips?

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

  • Transition stuck in Photo Album theme between video clips

    I'm working with iMovie 11 and it's the second time this is happening to me. I made a movie using the Photo Album theme that combines video from my iphone and photos. I have a 27 minute movie and I'm pretty much done except that I haven't added music yet. Now I noticed I get stuck again between transitions from one video to another.
    It's a theme transition that's 3.4 s with one clip of 17 s and the other of 7 s. I've tried to go back as far as I could to see if I can get to the point where it wasn't stuck but I can't.
    After trying all kinds of things last time I gave up after hours of frustration and started building the exact same thing from scratch and then it was fine. I really don't want to keep doing this as I've put in lots of time again in this project. I've just tried to change themes, adjust the length of the transition but with no luck.
    One reason I switched to a Mac was movie editing but right now I'm not a very happy camper...
    Can anybody help me before I pull my hair out???

    One more thing I just noticed. I saw that it happens at a bunch of transitions. Some of the video clips have a small yellow 24, 25 or 27 in a grey box on the lower left corner of the clip. I think that's the frame rate. I just thought it happens when it switches between clips with different frame rates but that's not always true either... Can't find a consistent reason. Sometimes it happens between a pictures and a video clip too.

  • Missing sound between video clips

    I have been using PE10 for some while now. One thing that I have noticed is that when you put together clips there is a silent gap on the soundtrack which lasts about 3-4 frames. I use MTS files. When you add another clip to an existing one- if you go through the transition from one clip to the next frame by frame there is a short gap of 3/4 frames with no sound but still the picture. Currently I cut the next clip after I gone though it frame by frame until the first frame when the sound reappears. I them delete that small section and when the remaining clip automatically shifts and joins the previous clip I get an unbroken sound and picture transition. But I am curious as to why PE should introduce this silent gap in the first place. Any ideas?  
    cheers
    bill

    Thanks for the link. Is the solution to try using that tsMuxeR program or is there a better way of importing the clips into PE? Once I download the files/folders off the SD card from the camera I format the card ready for new recordings. So the only copies are on the main HD and backup external HD.
    When I use PE I use its "Get video from files and folders" option to find the files which are located in the Stream folder.

  • How to create pages of text between video clips and as captions for stills

    Can either of these things be done in an Imovie?
    Thank you.

    Pages of text? No, iMovie 6 cannot do that, and you would probably find that a page of text would be largely unreadable.
    What I tend to do when wanting to introduce a paragraph or two of explanatory text or introduction to a movie, is to use rolling credits. The software to that with is, remarkably enough, called Rolling Credits, and is available from:
    http://www.rqs.ca/
    Captions for stills? Depends on exactly what you want to achieve. If you want to produce a still with a text box underneath it, you will have to use something like Photoshop or InDesign from Adobe, both of which cost an arm and half a leg.
    What I prefer to do (sorry!) is to use an application called Photo to Movie, in which (among many other things) you can overlap text on a slide/still of any size, or even have a text box below it. Photo to Movie then converts that sequence to a DV file which can be imported into iMovie without any quality loss. It is also the best way to produce high quality slide shows. You can get it here:

  • Making compound clip adds unwanted black between clips

    I have a 2 minute psa that was shot in HD on the NX5 and edited on FCPX. I needed to put it together with other PSAs to make a longer show so I selected all the clips on the timeline and made a ‘compound clip’. The compound clip looks like one clip on the timeline and it should be able to be copied to another timeline. When I watched it back though, FCPX had introduced flash frames of black in between all of the cuts on the timeline, throwing all of the titles out of whack as well. Why did this happen?
    1.  Original Storyline
    2.  Original storyline made into a compound clip.
    3.  When I play it back I get flash frames in-between each clip so i checked the compound clip and found that it introduced black between each clip.

    I ran into this problem too and found a quick solution that may work for anyone who encounters this bug.
    THE PROBLEM: In one of my Projects, when creating a compound clip of the entire Project (so that I could apply Project-wide color and audio correction), gaps were inexplicably added to certain cuts. I don't know why. I first tried to work around this by exporting a Master File, but this also created the same gaps. Ugh.
    THE SOLUTION: Duplicate your Project and in the duplicate, select all and create a compound clip. After creating the compound clip, double-click the compound clip in the Event Browser. This will open the compound clip, with all its bits and pieces exposed, in the Timeline. Go to the bottom-left corner of the Timeline and click the little button there to open the Timeline Index. Do a search for "gap". Select all the results in the list and press the delete key.
    NOTE: Don't forget to duplicate your original Project (before creating a compound clip with the duplicate) so that you have it as a reference and a backup in case something goes wrong. I have not carefully analyzed this glitch and am not 100% sure this workaround is bulletproof. I also am not sure what is causing the OP's titles to be "thrown out of whack" as I didn't have that particular issue, so this "fix" may not actually fix that part of the problem.

  • Black screen between every clip that does not appear on timeline, only on MOV file

    Hello
    I originially had this issue  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17086997#17086997
    I have now fixed the letterboxing issue but now have this problem (I did not have this issue before) where I get a very short black screen between each clip I put on the timeline. The black screen does not show up on the timeline, it only appears once I create the file. I'm not sure if this is affected but the fact I have an external hard drive. All my footage is stored on the hard drive and i save my Final Cut Pro file on the hard drive then upload it to YouTube. I made 2 quick short MOV files to test this theory (one made from footage on my EHD and the other from footage from my desk top) neither files had the black screen in the MOV files.

    These links are to my latest video I uploaded which shows the blacks clips, it's not terrible to have them but it's very annoying.
    Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas

    Hello Nick, thanks for the answer.
    I have fully lengthened my timeline and the black gaps are not there to delete (they only appear once the file has been exported).
    The issue I have (I think) is that im not sure what export settings I am meant to choose to export the footage.
    My camera records in widescreen so when I place my footage onto the time line and final cut pro automatically selects the correct settings for me, this is what is chooses
    This is then the export settings that are automatically in the box when I go to export
    As my footage is 1920 x 1080 I would expect to be given an option with that in but these are the only options available
    I am not sure if this should create the black spaces between each shot.

  • Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

    hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
    i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

    Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper.  Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
    Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
    If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
    No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline.  And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
    An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor.  Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right).  Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top.  Drag it left for however much fade you wish.  (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
    A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio.  Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

  • Inserting video between two clips

    Hi does anyone know how to insert video between two clips without erasing some of the two clips. I want to insert and have the other clips just make room for the new clip, extending the timeline the necessary amount. I thought you could just drag it in but it keeps erasing the existing footage in the timeline. Any advise would be awesome

    Make sure the playhead is parked between two clips, and drag the clip from the browser/viewer to the canvas, dropping it on the "insert" box in the edit overlay. Or you could drag the clip from the viewer/browser to the timeline but make sure the arrow that appears is facing to the right, not down.

  • PE9 - occasional black screen instead of video clip

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0.1 and windows XP SP3. In general, I don't have any problems with the software. However, occasionally, the video clip that I have imported in timeline become black (with sound OK). The rest of the clips are OK. Sometimes it helps to restart the program. But then sometime other clip is with black video. The thing is that when I do rendering, if a clip in the timeline was with black video it is then also rendered as a black part of the video.
    Any idea how can I fix it? I updated the program. I also downloaded videorenderer.dll as was suggested on some other site without results.
    Thank you.

    From nvidia's site they don't show a 8400 ES. Do you mean 8400SE? Although "new" to you it is actually quite old (by technology standards) -  a 2008 product. So the graphics drivers provided with the card will be ancient. You should get and install the most recent version (266.58WHQL) from nvidia.
    While your at it check all these other basics as well:
    Install all Windows Updates.
    Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
    Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
    Install PRE9 v9.0.1 update.
    Delete BadDrivers.txt (use windows search to find it)
    Run Disk Cleanup.
    Run Defragmenter.
    Reboot your PC.
    Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
    And give us some information about your clips and hardware:
    Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
    What project preset did you use?
    Where did the clip come from?
    How did you get it into PRE?
    Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started
