Can't drag transitions into timeline

Hi, I am trying to drag dissolves into the timeline but they won't take. Can anyone help?

You don't really loose much if anything. You only need to move the in on one and the out on the next 15 frames for a one second transition. Plus the 30 frames are not gone, they are part of the transition and can be seen, depending on the type of transition.

  • Can't drag clips into timeline (newbie warning)

    I'm sure that this has been discussed previously on this board, but I couldn't find a post.
    Back to my problem: All of a sudden, the current project that I'm working on will not let me drag clips into the timeline. The clips turn to a "lite" color of gray and freeze. I'm brand new to this so a uncondescending response would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi larget2 - this being a very friendly board, it is most unlikely that you will be scorned! We've all sought and been given willing help here from time to time.
    Some more details might be of help in solving your problem:
    How big is your project, and how much storage space do you have?
    What is the source of your clips?
    Is this your first project, or have you successfully completed others?
    How far into the project were you before the problem began?
    Is your project stored on your start-up disk, or on an external drive?
    try repairing permissions (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility), and with iMovie closed down, trash this file: Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist.

  • Can't drag video into timeline premiere cc

    Been working with PP CC since it came out and have had almost no problems. Now I have a head scratcher. I can't drag a video clip from the project panel to the sequence. The audio comes but the video won't. All I get is the close hand with a line through it when I hover over any of the video tracks. The clips play fine in the source monitor but still cant drag it from source to sequence either. Tried this with clips from several projects and cameras but no go. Started a new project, different name, folder and footage, still have the problem.

  • Can't drag effects into timeline in Fcp

    Hello, so I just installed final cut studio 2 and am used to being able to drag effects (like dissolves and such) into the timeline right from the effects window. Final Cut is not letting me do this. Also I have this weird problem where I can't see anything i put on the timeline in the canvas. I can hear it when I play the timeline and I can look at the files in the viewer (they are quicktime) but not on the canvas. Occasionally I can see one fram and when the project is un-rendered and the red bar shows up above the timeline I can drag through and watch some of it. But never when playing. Weird dilemma. Anyone know what to do?
    Thanks in advance.

    here's the settings: 640 x 480 ntsc 4:3, pixel aspect ratio: square, anamorphic not checked, field dominance none, editing timebase: 29.97, compressor: motion JPEG A, quality 100%
    video processing: render in 8-bit YUV
    I'm doing everything as i've always done with regard to transistions.. it just won't let me drag them in to the timeline.. this goes for everything under the effects tab: such as video generators: text and things like that. I appreciate your help.

  • Can't drag photos into timeline

    I opened a new project with the widescreen setting and can't load photos onto the timeline. They act like they are loading, show up as a blip on the timeline, then disappear. The same photos work on a standard non widescreen project, but not here. Audio imports fine. Any ideas?

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

  • Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

    Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
    Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
    Can cut and paste within timeline.
    Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
    Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
    Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!

    Thank you so much for asking
    In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
    In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
    I can cut and paste in the timeline.
    A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
    Four different mouses--same problem.

  • Cannot drag video transitions into timeline on FCE

    Just picked up FCE today and have imported an imove '09 project correctly into FCE. Transitions were able to be dragged down into timeline at first but now do not work. Have I done something wrong here?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

  • Can't drag songs into playlists or move in playlists easily

    I have upgraded to Lion and the latest iTunes and now I am finding it VERY hard to move tracks in the program. For example, dragging a track from the library into an existing playlist is **** near impossible. And when I FINALLY get it in there it is ABSOLUTELY near impossible to move it’s position up or down on the playlist. What gives? Any ideas?

    Before anyone suggests the following I have tried this already:
    •restarted itunes
    •restarted mac
    •made sure shuffle is turned off
    •made sure the playlist order is selected
    Also, it is NOT a smart playlist. I know you can’t drag tracks into smart playlists.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can't Drag Photos Into Email

    I have '09 and use Entourage as my email client. For some reason when I updated to '09 I can't drag photos into an open email.
    Not sure if it's an issue with Entourage or iPhoto, but it did work fine prior to my upgrading.
    Any suggestions??
    Also, aside from beginning an email from iPhoto what is the best way to add pictures to an existing (fwd.) or new email not originated from iPhoto??
    Much thanks in advance.

    Any of the Following:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Can't drag ringtone into sidebar

    Hi all,
    Following previous advice on this column I have created a ringtone (.m4r file) but can't drag it into the ringtone sidebar in itunes. As a consequence, can't use it on iphone! Please help!

    Try this: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. From the Preferences folder, drag this file
    com.apple.iTunes.plist to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your iTunes preferences but since you can't select ring tones in the pref pane, it might be the only solution. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.

  • How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

    How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

    Copy and paste works.  But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
    Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image.  But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.
