Can't add dissolve effect

Hi...
I have 5 clips in my timeline.. each is more that 1 min long (making sure there is a minimum number of frames available)...
I can successfully place a dissolve effect between two clips for three of my cuts, but I can't for the other two cuts.
FCP places the effect in, but it doesn't span both clips like the others that do work....
What am I doing incorrectly?
TIA...
-steven

thanks guys...
from my corporate fire wall, I can't see the Photobucket link, but I was able to search and find the following about adding handles... I will try this and report back:

Thanks again to all the great talent on this list..

How can I add vocal effects other than the 9 Voice options? (I can't shift pitch)

Hello!
I am making the switch from PC and am just trying to lower the pitch of a vocal track by at least an octave; I just got a MBP last week and am running GB 10.0.2. I can't find any info on similar problems that is helpful; most solutions I've come across show that when the track is selected, there should be a pitch shift bar with a sliding button, but I do not have that. I read a lot of people saying something about the track being purple or not, but I'm not sure if that's relative to the version I have or if that has anything to do with what's happening. When I select the track, in the little area toward the lower left when "Track" is selected, (what is that space called?) where the pitch shift option is for other people, I only have a sliding bar for Pitch Correction, and a checkbox for Limit to Key and Enable Flex. When "Region" is selected, it just shows the name of the region and there are no options. Another question I have is how to change the pitch of midi sounds? When the keyboard is open on the screen I have tried moving the little octave shifter, but it assigns the sounds that are on the keyboard at different locations if I move it, so it changes the sound completely. A couple of them shift one octave up or down, but there are no actual controls..
I'm mostly just dabbling with EDM/trap/Hiphop tracks at the moment, but am confused about whether or not there are other vocal effects and controls other than the preset Voice options in the instrument area (Bright vocal, Classic vocal, compressed vocal, Edge vocal, etc.)? I'm not going to be using GB forever, but are there not any other options like for current rap/trap production (phaser, balance, EQ, auto tune, choppers, actual voice altering effects, etc.) [preferably without buying extra things]? And not only vocals, but editing effects for all sounds.. If so, how do I get to them? And if not I know I should at least be able to lower or raise the pitch of a vocal recording... There are some pretty legit electronic instruments that are exactly the kind of sound I'm going for so I was surprised to not see an equally simple to access vocal effects board or something. Any additional tips for a n00b electronic music producer would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you for any help!

In GarageBand 10 you can no longer change a track with an audio file to a "purple" audio recording, as it has been possible in GarageBand '11.
Even, if you can make the transpose slider visible by enlarging the the track editor panel, the slider will be disabled.
What you can do however, is either add an AuPItch filter from the audioUnit panel or to convert your audio file to loop and to admit from the Loop Browser.
In the new GarageBand you add the AuPitch filter from the Smart Controls.
Enlarge the SmartControl panel by dragging the dividing line upwards, until you see the Audio Units brick, then add an Apple Audio Unit and set it to AuPitch.
Or create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library". You need to trim the filet an exact number of measures.
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop. Make sure, that one-shot loop is not enabled.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample like any regular loop.

Can you add an effect to just a small section of a recorded track?

I want to add a modulation effect to 8 bars right in the middle of a recorded guitar track. Is there a way to do this or do I have to clip that section out and put it on a different track?
Thanks!

The simplest way to do that is to Automate the bypass of the effect. Do you know how to use automation?
If not, hit 'A'. The arrange window will now reveal automation, provided you've zoomed in enough vertically (broad tracks). Clickhold on the long rectangular box directly under the track name:
Now in that track make the appropriate points by clicking/dragging. When finished, it should look something like this:

I have Garage Band for my IPad. I would like to add a "delay" effect to my music, but I do not see that effect available. How can I add it to the software? Thank you.

Hello all,
I have Garage Band on my Ipad Mini and I notice that it does not have a "delay effect" that can be added to my music. There are other effects, but no delay, which is the most important one for me. How can I add this effect? Thank you.

There are not many effects available in GarageBand on the iPad. You can add reverb and echo to the Master Track, but that's it.

Add multiple effects to a title and to a video

I have an edited video and inserted a title before the video starts. I would like to have the title zoom and while zooming, fade in. I apply the zoom to the begining of the title on my timeline, edit the duration and the start and end size then try to add a fade but the fade overwrites the zoom. On all the videos I found, they drag and drop the effects onto the clips on the timeline (I have to add them to either the front or back) then it appears on the Effect Controls under Video Effects. When I do it, I do not see the effect under that, I can only see the effect options when I click on the effect on the time line.
I have tried the same thing to the video itself and can only add one effect to each clip.
What am I doing wrong? How can I add multiple effects to things on my timeline?

Here is a +1 for Jim's suggestion to look into Keyframing the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, to create your Zoom.
You could well explore Keyframing another Fixed Effect>Opacity, to have more control over your Fade-In too.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to add voice effects to a video

how can i add voice effects to a video!

You need to supply much more information.
For example: Which video app are you using?
In which format is the video?
I presume you want to add the effects post production, so to speak, not live.

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.

Can i add a visual effect to just a section of a clip and how do i do this?

Can i add a visual effect to just a section of a clip and how do i do this?

Here is how I would do it.
1) Drag the clip into your project, if it isn't already.
2) Select those frames that you want to apply the effect by dragging. They should be enclosed in a yellow border.
3) Right click within this yellow border and select "Split Clip"
4) You can now apply the effect to this section.

How do I add lightning effects to movies? I know they were in 12 but I can't find them in adobe elements 13

I am trying to add this effect and can't locate it.

gikddragib15
Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Expert workspace
fx Effects Tab at bottom of Expert workspace
Advanced Effects
Lighting Effects
And then, to edit the effect, see Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Lighting Effects Panel expanded.
Also, see Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Lighting Panel expanded (including More button options....in the screenshot below, I have clicked on More so that is why you see Less instead of More button)
The above Lighting effects are in 12/12.1 as well as 13/13.1.
Please let us know if you find Lighting in the places cited above.
Thank you.

just think about the voice setting when you go to the record you should find mono and stereo. I have only mic volume -cd volume and line volume i should have mono mixer and stereo mixer also.

I hope i explane it for you. Thanx

Help wanted: which class can be used to add some effects on the text

Hi, all:
Does anyone can tell me which Java class can be used to add some effects(e.g. emboss, shadow, underline etc.) on the text which will be printed on the screen?
If you know the class, pls tell me and thanks in advance!

hi,
i think you are looking for JTextPane. but that's not all, you have to use document(or inherited classes), Style, StyleConstants, AttributeSet(or inherited classes).
And all this you have to combine.
I wish you much fun :-) and good luck.
