Can't Drag & Drop Cross Fade Transition ?

I'm a new user and can't figure out why when I attempt to drag and drop a cross-fade transition into my timeline it won't stick or apply. Can anybody help with this. Also, is there a setting that would automatically apply the cross-fade transition to all clip joining points in the timeline ?

The second techniques assumes there are handles available to create the transition overlap.

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim files ?

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim the two files to size when fading between them? Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. What I meant was that in Pro Tools, you can highlight an area between two tracks and crossfade. Then the files are exactly trimmed automatically so there is no excess overlap of the edges of both files. In Logic it seems to leave the overlap, and this can be a problem when you accidently click the wrong place and the underlying file is bought to the front, changing the crossfade area. I wish it to trim the excess so there is no danger of the lower file edges coming forward.

I can't drag/drop files!! HELP :( :(

I can't drag/drop files from one place to another, like across my desktop,i have to cut/copy paste them into another location.
It randomly change as before i could drag/ drop files, etc

OS X will move the file if you hold the command key while you drag and drop.
What happens if duplicate files are found during the move drag and drop. If you release the command key to answer the dialog box that appears, the file will be copied but not moved. If you continue to hold the command key as you click the Replace button, the move action will be completed.
To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.

How can I do a simple fade transition between clips??

I'm trying to learn my new Premiere Elements 9. I am a simple man, with simple needs. I like to just do a simple fade transition between video clips. There is no "fade" option on the transitions for PE9, I have tried "cross disolve" and "non-additive disolve", and they are freaking wierd. The one that comes the closest is cross-dissolve, It fades out the first clip fine, but the follow on clip starts with an awkward momentary freeze frame, which is not acceptable.
Any thoughts?
Clem

A "fade" is a just that. It fades to black.
Fades to black are far from weird.They are very useful for indicating a complete change of subject or chapter in a long video story.
I think you are using the wrong descriptions,
Probably you want a cross dissolve where one scene slowly dissapears while the next one appears, the average picture level being constant.
There are two of them provided in transitions. Cross dissolve (what you call a fade) and non additive dissolve.
They both work perfectly if you apply them correctly and you have set up your project correctly to match your video camera or slides. (see many other posts on this)
You simply drag the 'transition icon' for the dissolve to the cut line between the two clips. Cant be any easier than that can it?
If you are seeing jerky results, it is because your computer is not fast enough to preview unrendered video (or set up right) - so render it!
As I said there should be no red lines at the top of the timeline where the transition is (otherwise render just that red part of the timeline)
More advanced:-
The dissolve period plainly shows in the video track. You can have it before, centered or after the cut depending on where you want the dissolve to start or finish in relation to moving objects in the video. (Right click and select effect properties to adjust)
You can even change the speed of the dissolve by dragging the edges of the effect boix in the timeline

Can't drag&drop music from explorer into iTunes

Hey everyone, I recently got a new computer and copied over my iTunes library from my old computer and installed a fresh copy of the latest iTunes onto my new computer. The problem is I can't drag and drop files from an Explorer window into iTunes like I used to. I can still copy and paste files in or add them manually from the file browser but that is less than ideal. When I attempt to drag any files in I just see the crossed out circle image. Keep in mind I am not adding them to a playlist, just straight into my library (but adding to a playlist doesn't work either) and there is nothing wrong with the files (the error occurs on any audio file I try to drag). I'm assuming this is some sort of permissions issue, I re-installed iTunes a few time and deleted my iTunes folder but no luck. Maybe it is a registry error? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to drag and drop again.

Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

Greetings!
I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

Can't drag & drop photos

I can't drag and drop about half my library from iPhoto into Pages or Keynote (I get the "springback" action). I've tried using the Media navigator or going directly from the iPhoto window. Dragging those same pics into iMovie or iTunes works fine. No rationale for why some do some don't transfer. Pics from same roll/sequence differ. One "workaround" is if I edit (crop, whatever) in iPhoto, it then usually ebables the pic to be transferred. I've tried disabling and reenabling fonts to no avail.
Thanks for any guidance

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Can't drag/drop or copy/paste; spotlight missing

I can no longer drag/drop or copy/paste files or folders. I can select "copy" but the option to "paste" is grayed out. I also no longer have spotlight on the menu bar.
One possible cause - there's a tmp folder in my trash bin. I have no idea how it got there. Is that the cause? if so, how do I reinstall the tmp folder?
I'm running 10.5.8 on a Macbook Pro. Thanks.

Look at the resulting text. If it matches the following line (which would indicate that /tmp is still present) then this document does not apply to you, and you should stop here and try another troubleshooting path.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I can't express how thankful I am for this post! Had the same exact problem as the discussion starter. I didn't even notice Spotlight was gone until finding this post! I thought the issue was Adobe/app related until copy/paste didn't work!
***If you try the code, after entering your password successfully, make sure you RESTART your computer!!!***
Now to my questions. Please help if you can:
1) I can see that the tmp folder is an alias folder now; but can I still delete the original folder that's still in the trash (which is minus two files now, because I tried emptying the trash)?!??
2) Also, I have a x2 backup of the original folder before putting it in the trash (and emptying; that's how I know the tmp folder is minus two files). So my second question is, can I put the backup folder BACK where the alias folder is, and them delete the alias!???
Thanks for any answers! That last thing I want to do is mess up again!! :/

Can't drag/drop MP4 files in iTunes 10 - Movies

Recently I have installed the new iTunes 10. Now I am not able to drag and drop MP4 files to load videos in my iPod and iPhone. Earlier I used to drag & drop MP4 files and load my iPod. But with this new version in Windows 7 OS, I am not able to load videos. Became very frustrated. Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!
Prasenjit

I have the same problem! Is there anyone out there with an answer! I'm so extremely frustrated with this issue. I did everything that others have suggested on this community and others online. I used a converter (which doesn't even make any sense because I used to be able to drag/drop mp4 with ease without converting them before this stupid iOS5 and Itunes update). I renamed the file to m4v. There's tons of stuff I tried and still nothing. What frustrates me is that everyone is suggesting to convert and as I said I never used to do that with MP4's before. Why all of a sudden now?

Can't drag, drop, or move icons from dock

The issue exactly is that I can no longer move icons to the dock, remove them from the dock, reorder them, or delete them. The context menu still works fine, I just can't drag and drop. Furthermore, if I attempt to drag and drop from a stack, it reads the action as if I am trying to open the file.
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1
Things I've tried so far:
Repair disk permissions
Repair ACL permissions
Rebuild directories
Relaunch dock
Reset dock to defaults
Rebooting/logging out (both fix the problem temporarily, however it returns within an hour of regular use)
Trying to hunt down any extensions that might be causing issues...can't find anything (problem persists in guest account as well)
Rebuild and repair kexts
Cleaned out all caches
Reinstalled OS X
Wiped disk and performed clean install.
I don't have anything installed that does any low level modifications (no third party antivirus or tweaking/tune up tools). For the life of me I can't figure this one out and it's really getting annoying to not be able to use my dock.

Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Learned from leonie.

Home Sharing between Mac & PC - Can't drag & drop from one to the other.

I have a Mac & a PC. I turned on home sharing and it works well, except that I want to copy all of the music on the Mac over to the PC. With Home Sharing active, you should be able to drag & Drop, but I can't. I read the help article and it says that the computer icon of the remote computer that you are sharing from should be in the left pane under Shared in iTunes. I don't see this. I only see my library.
Any suggestions?

these reads may be helpful:one and two.

CAN'T DRAG & DROP SONGS TO IPHONE

I just bought a new iPhone and I can't drag and drop any of my songs. However, i'm able to drag and drop songs with my 30 gb iPod. Help!!!!

Hi jasondechert!
First, make sure that iTunes sees the device. When you click on the device it'll bring you to the device summary tab where it lists basic information about your device. You should see other tabs, one of which is entitled "Music."
Click on the Music tab and you'll presented with the following options:
1. Sync Music (with a checkbox)
2. All songs and playlists (with a radio box)
3. Selected playlists (with a radio box)
4. A listing of the playlists in iTunes (each with a checkbox)
5. Include music videos (with a checkbox)
Keep in mind that everything will be grayed out if you don't have the first checkbox (Sync music) checked. Once you check that first box you can then choose to sync all of your music (the entire library) or specific playlists. If you select "selected playlists" it will then allow you to choose the specific playlists you want to sync.

No "Ringtones" tab and can't drag & drop ringtones into iTunes

I have an iPhone4 running OS4.3, using iTunes 10.2 on a Windows Vista PC. I used an iPhone app to create custom ringtones, and have followed the app's instructions to save the ringtones to my PC and then copy into iTunes. Two problems:
1) The instructions say to drag & drop the .m4r files into iTunes. I've seen this mentioned in other posts on this topic. When I try to do this, the files won't "drop". I see the "no" symbol (circle with line) when I hover over my music library.
2) The instructions say to click on my iPhone in iTunes, and then on the "Ringtones" tab along the top of the screen. I don't have a Ringtones tab. There's also no reference to Ringtones in the left navigation pane.
How do I correct this?
Thanks

!!! JUST DOWNGRADE YOUR ITUNES VERSION, AND USE THE OLDER ONE - THAT'S ALL. SORRY FOR ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS, - IT IS JUST OUT OF EXCITEMENT, AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING AND THINKING ABOUT A SOLUTION !!!
Shalom all,
Our frustration and pain is over, for sure… With some help and hints from this forum I’ve found a precise solution to the above mentioned can’t-get-the-goddamned-ringtones-tab-to-appear-in-my-iTunes problem.
Now let me try and get up to the point:
The 10.5.2 version of iTune is worthless (at least, it’s 64-bit modification, which I’ve been using up to this point). By reading a few comments on your forum, I’ve quickly decided to try and downgrade to 10.4.1.10 version (seems to me, 64-bit), which can be downloaded from apple.com site with just a little extra-search.
By the way, I do have Windows 7 64-bit OS on my PC, and “Apple” warns that one MUST use 64-bit installation in my case…
One must uninstall previously installed 10.5.2 (if there used to be one, of course). In such a case, please, also uninstall a “Bonjour” program by “Apple” (don’t know what’s that, but you will not be able proceed any further with, as it was said in my case, higher version of “Bonjour” left behind).
After uninstalling those two abovementioned things, I have installed iTunes 10.4.1.10 , even without being asked for reboot by the end of the installation. But, alas, when I tried running iTunes, it failed with the complain about a “iTunes Library.itl” file (found in C:\Users\<My_User>\Music\iTunes). I’ve just renamed the file (could’ve been removed as well, of course) and restarted the iTunes. This time everything went smooth.
The rest of the story, I assume, you can imagine much better than me. Go to Edit->Preferences and tick “Ringtones”. After connecting the iPhone (well, probably one more iTunes restart will be required in this case, - not sure about that), we will get the “Ringtones” tab set also under the iPhone definition (see “DEVICES” in iTunes).
Next, create an .m4a file out of your favorite ringtone, move it to the Desktop, change the extension to a4r, add it back (drug-and-drop) to “Ringtones” tab at the iTunes LIBRARY. Then make some blessing, take a deep breath and… that’s pretty much done. One important thing not to forget before sync: click on your phone (under iTune’s DEVICES), and click on “Ringtones”, located right under the gorgeous :-) apple picture in the top middle of the iTunes window. Mark “Sync Ringtones” and “All Ringtones” (?) there, of course…
BTW, no need whatsoever to register your phone, - you can just postpone the registration...
Phew… Let’s hope I haven’t forget anything. Anyhow, the idea was to get rid of iTunes 10.5.2 as soon as possible, uninstall it together with “Bonjour” (say good bye to “Bonjour”  ), then install a good old iTunes 10.4.1.10, get over few problems and… The rest of the procedure - you know it by heart, by far better than me…
I’ve been struggling with the problem for less than a day (thanks to all of you, pals), but I can imagine there are still some poor pal chaps around…
Let us help them… Very unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue, as you can see… I wish, it would be different, but G-d decided other way… Please, (1) make some corrections and clarifications to this notes (I could've made it better, but in a crunch now, really), and also, (2) try spreading it among as many guys as possible… If you can pass this solution to “Apple” tech support, - it should be taken to consideration...
And I'll be waiting now for a generous job offer from that great company... :-)
Let me just wish you all a very Happy New Year...
Thank you all, dear friends, and do enjoy the best of your own FREE ringtones……
P.S.: iTunes 10.4.1 (64-bit) can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427 , at the bottom of the page...

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.
