Can't apply fade to slug?

I put a slug in to serve as a background for text (the shot is bad, but the audio is priceless) I would like the surrounding shots to fade into the black slug, but FCE HD won't let me. I tryied a overwrite with transistion and dragging a cross-fade in, but no joy.
I suspect I am trying to do something with the slug which is not possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I almost expect to have to run the camera with the lens cover on to get my black background.
Thanks,
Greg

That's a though. I am not so advanced to play with the pen tool, but perhaps this is the time to learn.
Meanwhile, I had a though as to why this doesn't work. My slug is just sized to fit between the two surrounding clips. As it does not have extra "material," perhaps the edit tools don't have anything to work with for the fades. Maybe if I make the slug longer, the transistions will work.
I am trying to have about 10 seconds of black (the slug) between two clips. Fade to black, show text, and then fade back into next clip.

  • Can't apply audio transitions over some sequence joins

    I have a rough cut sequence I'm putting together and am trying to apply a cross fade over 2 sequences. For some reason I can't apply the transition over the splice area...it will go to one seq or the other (icon is |= ) other parts work fine (icon is =|= )
    There are 6 seq's in this cut 4 transitions work as I expect...2 don't
    any ideas what I'm doing wrong???

    For every clip you put on the timeline there is a clip in and clip out.  The clip also has two physical ends of the media file.
    If the clip out of the outgoing clip is the same as the end of the media file, OR, the clip in of the incoming clip is the same as the start of the media file, you cannot place a transition--there must be overlap for most transitions.
    Go to the junction between the two clips you are trying to place a transition:
    Using the trim tool, drag the clip out of the outgoing clip back an amount equal to 50% of the transition duration
    Using the trim tool, drag the clip in of the incoming clip forward an amount equal to 50% of the transition duration
    If this created a gap between the two clips, do a ripple delete of the gap.
    By dragging the clip in and clip out with the trim tool, you moved them away from the physical ends of the media file  you now have what Harm refers to a handles.  You can now place your transition.
    As Harm said: "Read the manual," and everything will be made known to you.

  • Audio edit not working. Can't cross fade

    Suddenly when I attempt to select the end of one audio track and the beginning of the other, it does not become high lighted as usual and I can't apply a cross fade.
    I never had this problem before and it suddenly appeared. If I double click I get an option for a Trim Edit, but that is not what I want to do.
    How can I simply click on the audio edit and apply the audio cross fade??
    Thanks!!

    In FCP, go to the menu Sequence > Render and make sure all the conditions are checked.
    Do the same for Render All:

  • A question about applying fades?

    I can't seem to find in the manual where you can apply fades in small increments. I know there is a keyboard key you hit while applying the fade with the fade tool that will apply it in small increments.
    When I use the fade tool It always applies a certain amount of fade and I can't figure out how to apply it in small increments from the very start with the fade tool.
    Also for some reason I cannot use the fade tool at the end of some regions. At the very least can someone direct me to the areas in the manual where it discusses this and I will read it.

    I'm not aware of a modifier key that allows for fine-tuning on the fade tool.  Zoom level affects this.  Also, keep in mind what you see is not what you get - the fades can graphically appear longer than they are if you are zoomed out.  To get a fine-tune while zoomed out click-drag the number field in the inspector instead of using the fade tool.  It's blank if there is no fade yet, but you can drag and apply very small amounts.  If you are not sure where to click-drag, use the fade tool and look at the inspector to see the #'s change.  You can select several regions and put the same fade all at once.
    While looking at the inspector, you might see the words "Eq. pwr" or something like that.  IIRC when you set-up a cross fade with certain settings, and then try to change it to just a fade out it won't work.  You need to change it back to 'fade out' or whatever.

  • How to apply FADE to audio track

    Just moved to use Logic Pro 8 that I have the following queries:-
    1. How to apply FADE/CROSSFADE on audio tracks at the Arrange window?
    2. I found keeping to click the Pointer tool & Scissor tool (or Eraser) alternately (the purpose is just delete a part of an audio track) at the Arrange window during audio editing very clumsy, is there any shortcut?
    3. I use a MOTU 2408 audio interface, is there anyway I could set the Logic to having:- A. just one mono output instead of stereo pair ( likes 12, 34, 56, or 78) for a track? B. input of a stereo track set to using S/PDIF as my 2408 have this and I sometimes dump things into the computer from a DAT player?
    Thank you for your advise.

    You can use the fade tool, or for multiple regions, simply select the regions (you can rubberband them), and use the fade tool box in the upper left hand corner of the arrange page.

    Look over the extensive list of key commands that are available within Logic. You can also assign alternate tools to left/right mouse buttons, or by modifier keys, so you can switch tools quickly, without the need for accessing the toolbox.

    For mono output assignments, simply pan the mono track to the desired side of the output. i.e., track one, set to "Output 1-2", panned hard LEFT, will only appear on your audio interfaces output 1. Panned hard RIGHT, it'll appear only on output 2...

    All audio interfaces with SPDIF inputs have those inputs hardwired. So it's just a matter of you reading the MOTU manual, and seeing what that is. It may be inputs 11-12, or 23-24, etc... Just set the stereo track in Logic to have that particular input, and you should be set.

  • Quick way to apply fades to many chopped up regions?

    Have scissored up one region into many smaller regions in order to line up bass guitar transients to kick drum transients. I can't always do this by "stripping silence" so of course I end up with clicks and pops do to the scissored regions beginning and ending on non-zero-crossings of the audio data. But I apply fades to all the regions and this takes care of it. So I regrettably must do this manually every day in a certain project and though I am now fast at it I would love it if there were a fast way to apply very small fades to all selected regions on a track at the same time.

    Select all the regions you want fades on.
    In the region parameter box in the inspector, you should see "fade".
    Dial up however long a fade you want. It will do it to all the regions selected.

    Regarding receiving texts as emails:  Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

    Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
    It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.

  • How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    jhb3243
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
    a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
    b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
    If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
    I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
    Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
    Thanks.

  • Transaction can be applied to stateless session bean

    is transaction can be applied to stateless session beanif yes/no why?

    Just because a stateless session bean is stateless doesn't mean it doens't hold state. The stateless means it shouldn't hold any client state.
    It can hold onto for example the dao objects.
    The idea is that you pass all the client state to the sessionbean when calling it.
    Eg.
    public void doBulkOperation( User user ,string param1, String param2){
    operation1( user, param1 );
    operation2( user, param2 );
    public void operation1( User user ,String param1){
    //do some work involving user
    public void operation2( User user ,String param2){
    //do some work involving user
    now suppose that doBulkOperation, operation1, operation2 are declared as transaction required. doBulkOperation starts the transaction if there isn't one running and joins the transaction. Then operation1 and operation2 join in the transaction.
    Perfectly safe!
    What you're not allowed to do is the following:
    privata User user
    public void doBulkOperation( User user ,string param1, String param2){
    this.user = user;
    operation1( param1 );
    operation2( param2 );
    public void operation1( String param1){
    //do some work involving user
    public void operation2( String param2){
    //do some work involving user
    This would be unsafe because concurrent calls will change the user and produce unpredictable results and possibly corrupting data.
    It will work perfectly thougn if there is only one user or you're using a statefull session bean providing you don't share that bean with several clients.

  • Can we apply select statement on internal table.

    can we apply select statement on internal table.if yes thrn let me know how to do.

    Dear Sachin,
    You cannot use SELECT statement on internal table.
    If you want to select some rows from internal table you can LOOP the table or you can READ the table.

    I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

    rickeyt
    Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
    Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
    1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
    see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
    2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
    Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
    Thank you.

  • Can't apply some master pages to topics

    Hello,
    I have already logged a bug report on this, but I am hoping that someone else has encountered it and has a suggested workaround. I have searched the forums, but I didn't see this issue. We recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8, and we have installed 8.0.1.
    Our help projects typically include multiple master pages (formerly called "templates"). Most topics use the main master page, but a few need to use one of our other master pages that is geared toward a different type of user. Most of our projects have at least 3 master pages.
    After conversion from X5 to RoboHelp 8, in some of our help projects, we cannot apply the lesser-used master pages to topics. We can right-click the topic name or within the Design window and open the Topic Properties, and we can select the correct master page, either from the drop-down list or by clicking the Browse button, and we can click Apply. Initially, the topic will show the master page as being selected; however, the header from that master page will not appear grayed out in the Design window for the topic as it should, and when you save and close the topic, the master page is no longer selected for it. This problem does not occur if I select the master page that is used for most topics; that one gets selected and applied correctly.
    This problem has happened to me and to 2 of my coworkers. I got my problem topics and templates to work, but I tried many things repeatedly and cannot pinpoint what made the problem stop happening. I am currently trying to solve the problem in a coworker's project without success.
    Things I have tried:
    1. Deleting and reimporting the master pages that are not working. (When I do this, RoboHelp crashes.)
    2. Comparing the code of the non-working master pages to the code of the master page that does work. I saw no problems.
    3. Deleting the cpd file while the project was closed and then reopening.
    4. Manually changing the tags that appear in the code of the topics to see if I can fool RoboHelp into recognizing the master page. I tried putting in the meta tag and header placeholder tags, but this did not work.
    Has anyone run into this, and if so, have you found a workaround?
    Thank you,
    Tammy

    This was our error, not RoboHelp's. After trying several different things yesterday, I compared the code of a working master page to that of a non-working master page once again. I discovered an error in some JavaScript, and when I removed the extraneous code, the template worked. I apologize for not finding this before posting! I did try several things before I posted.

  • I can't apply labels to images in version 2.1.1

    Last November 3rd I updated IBooks Author to version 2.1.1 (459). Since that day I can't apply labels to images. I can edit labels for the existing images, but there isn't any label list when I import a new one. If I create a new widget, labels are applied and can be edited.
    I've tested this issue with new documents and existing ones with the same result. I also tried to restore a version 2.1 from my previous TimeMachine backups, but no succes.
    I've being working well since I installed Maveriks, until this version 2.1.1 update. It is a bug? I've read complains about the same failure in the comments of the App Store from Spain. Can I downgrade iBooks author?
    I am finishing a techical book with hundreds of images, so, you know what I am feeling.

    Might be a bug - best to contact Apple directly so they can take a look, I think...
