Can't add dip to black to a clip

I have created 3 different sequences, and placed a clip into each one. I went into #s 1 and 2, and added a dip to black transition to the end of the clip in each. When I went to #3, I was unable to add the dip to the clip in there. Dragging the transition to the clip on the timeline gave me a had with a circle + slash. Double clicking the transition wit hteh clip selected did nothing. The layer is not locked. What could be going on?

Yes. It looks like I may have encountered a bug. I'm running CS5 under Mountain Lion. I had googled to see if there were any known issues, but everything seemed to say they were compatible with no problems. I have also noticed a similarly weird issue on the UI of another application.

  • Can't add anything on top full motion clip

    I have several full motion clips in my simulation. Each has
    some sensitive information I want to block out by inserting a
    Highlight Box. I've done this on several of my full motion clips
    with no problem. However, I have one clip that simply will not show
    ANYTHING that I put on top of the clip--only the clip will display.
    You can see a screencast of the problem at the link below. Any help
    is greatly appreciated!

    A civil request for more information! Of course, it isn't
    really meant to be civil, and it isn't really a request for
    information, but still, it's a suggestion worthy of taking
    seriously. I've already answered that question in a general sense,
    but I can repeat my thought processes in a step-by-step, and hope
    that "jsheeha" and others might benefit (assuming that everyone
    hasn't already tried it on their own).
    And if you can learn something in the process, all the
    better, Rick. Glad you asked, though the application is so simple
    that explaining its use feels ~ odd, somehow.
    (by the way, what is "an OP"? I have seen you use that term
    before but am unfamiliar with its use - thanks)
    To continue, what "jsheeha" gave us appears to be a
    (Camtasia?) clip of a larger project clip. I don't like making
    assumptions, but that one is required in this case. The below steps
    won't work in every situation, perhaps, but they represent some of
    the capability of the FMREditor for Captivate, and as such, are
    worth a look, a little thought, and a little imaginative use.
    1) Create a new movie without the offending title-bar
    contents.
    2) Be sure it is the same physical size (X pixels width by X
    pixels height)
    3) Publish it to SWF (HTML file is unnecessary at this
    point).
    4) Load the entire original full-motion recording (published
    SWF) into the FMREditor.
    5) Go to the point at which the offending material appears.
    6) Click the "Toggle Marker" and change to "Insert SWF" mode
    if necessary
    7) Select the previously published replacement movie (or
    isolated frames, as necessary)
    8) Insert it into the original FMR, combining the two.
    9) Using the Toggle Marker once more, change to "Delete" mode
    10) Move to the beginning of the "bad" section and mark it.
    ... you can "mark" beginning and ending frames by moving the
    playhead to the point you want to begin or end, then "click" the
    inward-facing black arrows, the left will set the beginning, the
    right will set the ending frame ...
    11) Go to end of "bad" section and mark it as well.
    12) Delete the portion containing the sensitive information.
    13) Save the changed project.
    I realize that you are probably not
    really interested in learning how to do this, Rick, and are
    just continuing in your efforts to prove me wrong in everything I
    recommend to others. But I wrote this anyway, in the hope that the
    thoughts might be helpful to "jsheeha" or other interested users.
    If it doesn't work in this particular situation, the FMREditor
    might be helpful to someone in a different situation now, or at a
    later time. Again, I hope this was helpful, and by the way Rick, no
    apology is necessary - just quit trying to prove me wrong every
    time I contribute to a thread. Thank you.

  • How can I add a black border at the bottom of a photo?

    How can I add a black border at the bottom of a photo?

    Just curious: Why whould you want to add navigation Rules at run time. I believe the navigation rules should be set to begin with - "by s/w Architect Design".
    Else you can always use Redirect / Forward.

  • How can I add a dip to white at the beginning of a clip?

    How can I add a dip to white at the beginning of a clip?  I know where to find it on Pr, but I'm new to AE.  I have 2 clips that need to transition one to the other.  The first clip ends by dipping to white; therefore, I need to either dip to white at the beginning of the 2nd clip & line them up so they overlap well, OR I need to find a white transition to place between them like in Pr.

    Make a whote solid.  Animate its opacity from 0 to 100 and back again.
    You'll use couple-three layers -- no automatic transitions in AE.  That's what Premiere's for.

  • Transition (Dip to Black) while using Track Matte

    I have used Trace Matte to hide faces in a sequence. In order to do more than one person the sequence includes multiple Matte Tracks.
    When I use the dip to black transition I am getting a fade to black and also seeing the mosaic then it goes to the next sequence. making the transition jerky.
    If I remove all of the dip to black transitions that sequences all cleanly change.
    Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    Using transitions on multiple stacked clips can lead to some unwanted results, since you're changing the opacity of multiple layers at once, instead of en masse. Nesting would work, but then you'd need to extend the footage in your nests to create handles.
    The simple way to do it is to create a piece of Black Video (File > New > Black Video), add it on a track above the transition point, and then create opacity animation up and down on it, or just add cross dissolves. The result is a dip to black that will not change the opacity of the underlying layers--it's fading black in and out over the layers.

  • Can only add mp3s to itunes by dragging individually, not through "Add to iTunes"

    Obviously this poses a problem when you have 350GB of music to transfer..
    Some background: I am a former PC user who sought a technician to recover files from a crashed PC hard drive. The technician recovered all files all transferred to an external HD (unfortunately not Mac formatted) and I connected to a new 4GB Mac mini. After transferring music files to a desktop folder, I can see my entire former itunes folder but around half of all files are grayed out. Sometimes it's the band names, sometimes the album or track names. My understanding is that these are hidden files, but after using the "killall finder" in terminal it does not change anything. If I go to "Add to itunes" I can pull up the folder but none of my music appears for me to sellect. I can individually drag any files (black or grayed) into itunes and they will work - they'll populate and back up in the mac's music files.This is the kicker, though - the grayed out mp3 are now black. They appear normal. The frustrating part is I can't shift files en masse, i can't only shift them by drilling down the file tree in my music folder and dragging groups of mp3s one album at a time. It would take me months and months of doing this to get everything onto itunes. PLEASE HELP! I cannot find any other examples of this on the net!! Is there software that can make itunes "see" the files again and enable me to import all at once?

    Okay, never mind. I unchecked the 2nd box. :/ Doh...

  • How can I add extra footage to a burned project?

    I burned an imovie project through idvd and deleted the project on my hard drive. I figured since I had it on a dvd I could load it back on my computer and add stuff in the future. When I loaded it back all I saw was two folders, audio ts and video ts. How can I get my imovie project loaded back up so I can add more stuff, and burn a new copy. I am going to be making lots of projects in the future and I dont want to have to store everything on my hard drive. What do I do?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Yes you can. (1) Go to the file menu while in Imovie. (2) select share, (3) select video camera, (4) use the interface to add seconds of black tape before and after your film as desired, (5) as the warning says be sure to have blank tape and your camera in VTR code. (6) press share and voila your camera should record your movie. Now you can store it and even add others if you have room. If your going to add others I suggest you add 8 seconds or more of black to the end. So, when you record your next movie you won't overlap and ruin your master. Enjoy.

  • How can I add a color background to pages in Apeture?

    How can I add a background color to pages in Apeture book design?

    That depends on the Book Theme you are using.
    Some themes only allow to select between black and white backgrounds, some offer a color palette.
    Click the "fan" icon in the "edit" palette. For example, the "Formal" theme:

  • Can't add photos to nano

    I just got my black 4gig a couple hours ago and I love it, I got music added to it all right but I have 27 MB left and I can't add photos to it.
    I get through all the steps and select about 6 photos to add (not full size) but then I get an error message saying my iPod cannot be updated (error -208). I installed the software and did iPod update and I have iPhoto 4.0.3
    Any suggestions please?

    Please be patient - I am not trying to mess you up.
    From the nano specs online:
    "Mac system requirements:
    Mac OS X v10.3.4 or later"
    Your signature says your running OS X 10.0.x, so you might need to upgrade your OS (key word MIGHT).
    From the nano manual (see link below):
    "You can download photos from a folder on your hard disk. If you have a Mac and iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, you can download iPhoto albums automatically. " - You should be OK on your iPhoto version from the version you said you are currently running.
    Try dragging a couple of photos from your iPhoto library to a folder on your computer. Then try to add the photos to your iPod with the alternative method of selecting photos using the 'From Folder' option and use the folder/photos you have set aside.
    See if you can then add them this way or get the same error.
    Online reference (just in case you need it):

  • In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't  add artwork

    In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't  add artwork  to ALAC files by pasting or dragging them to the album.
    Please fix this.

    It's a bug with iTunes 10.4.0.80 (and presumably the beta?). If you copy and paste from some web browsers or an image editor then iTunes pastes in a transparent image of the same dimensions. This shows up black in the artwork panel at the bottom left or white in the get info art viewer.
    If you work with an image file stored on your computer you should get better results. Use the artwork box on the Info tab of the Get Info. dialog for multiple tracks to replace all existing images. With a single track you will need to delete the existing corrupt images from the Artwork tab first.

  • Can i add new language into my L1520?

    Question is simple, can i add a new language into my L1520 ? I bought it in Russia, and in options menu i just found several languages like spanish,english,french,Azerbaizhanish,even if chanise. But i need Turkish language. Can i download it somehow?
    Your help appraciated. Thanks in advance
    Currently using giant, amazing black Lumia 1520
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If it's not listed in language+region settings, then you cannot download it, maybe that's why Nokia did not release it in Turkey yet  
    BTW, you would get the same answers from same person in your own language if you've visited local boards

  • Can't add new bookmarks

    Just recently I am unable to add new bookmarks. All my old ones are there, I just can't add new ones. Usually when I click "bookmark this page" a small black window pops up and allows me to determine which folder i'm going to save the page in, but the widow now doesn't even show up. The only page I CAN bookmark and this window shows up is on yahoo's homepage which made me notice something. There is a star in the address bar that gets filled in blue only when i'm on yahoo. Every other page, it becomes colorless. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this or not though

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can't add a dissolve between clips in FCP 4.5

    I do animations and we shoot hundreds of stills with a digital camera to record a "shot" in a scene then import them all to FCP 4.5 with the still image duration set to 2 frames. This gives a sort of 12 frames a second speed to the animations which is ok for our purposes.
    Then we export the timeline as a qt mov file and use that like it was a single video clip in another sequence in FCP to build up the final project.
    When I try to add a dissolve or any other video transition between two of these clips, it won't work.
    If there is a gap between the clips, I can add a dissolve at either end of the clip and this looks like a fade out or fade in, but if the clips are touching then I can't add any transition.
    I have also tried nesting the sequence with all of the still images into a new sequence so that the stills are treated as a single clip in the new sequence, but this doesn't solve the problem and I can't add transitions between those clips either.
    The computers are G5 Mac Pros running Tiger 10.4.10 and FCP is version 4.5
    Can anyone please explain what is wrong or how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    One way to do dissolves is to put the clips in different video tracks and overlap them (that is, handles by the duration of the "dissolve" you want to implement.
    Then use an opacity ramp to fade on out as you fade the other one up.
    I find that doing dissolves this way means that I don't have to set the in and out points with a transition in mind, and it easy to slide the clips around to get the exact effect want.
    To do opacity ramps, you need to set the sequence setting "timeline options" set to show keyframe overlays. That will put a black line on the video timeline for each clip on each track. When dragged to the top, it is 100% opaque; at the bottom it is 100% transparent. You use the little "ink pen" to put keyframe handles on the timeline opacity line and you can then gradually increase/decrease the ramp as you see fit, including rounding the corners to make it smoother.
    As other noted, it may be easier to just make sure you have the right amount of "handle" (video beyond the in and out points) and do one of the built in dissolves; I find that if I don't like the timing I've chosen, it is more work to fiddle around with the in/out points (for example, by putting the clip in question on another video track and dragging the ends out or in).
    Experiment with different methods and use the one which works best for you.
