Cross dissolve problem - only works as fade in with graphics clips

I inserted three graphics clips with transitions (cross dissolve default) at the beginning of a sequence. The transitions only seem to work as fade-ins I have plenty of extra frames beyond the edit section of the clips. I tried to adjust the transitions in the transition editor - it shows the transition aligned to start at the edit, but won't allow mw to choose to center it on the edit or end on the edit.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Thank you - no, there seems to be a handle only on the left side of the edit (to the left of the transition - which sits only to the right of the edit). On the right side,(in the zone of hte transition) the cursor shows the symbol for the roll tool - r. Excuse my limited understanding of the interface and tools - I am just beginning to learn FCE.
I will be away from the workstation until tomorrow morning.

  • FCPX cross-dissolve on only one end of a clip?

    How do you apply an effect (in this case, Cross-Dissolve) to only the beginning or end of a clip?  The program automatically applies the effect to both ends of a clip, and I have to delete the one I don't want (added step, added time, time is money, blah blah blah )
    Here's what I'm trying to do:  I have my main storyline, and in a secondary storyline I want to fade a clip in at a certain point...but I don't want it to fade out. Adding the cross-dissolve at the beginning saves a lot more time than keyframing the opacity.
    Yeah, I'll say the same thing everyone else does:  "Well, that's what I did in legacy FCP.  How do I do it in FCPX?"
    Thanks in advance.

    hit cmd T but why? where has copy/cut/paste/add transition et al gone from the right click? It just seems a backward step having to use a keyboard again. Sadly I can now no longer use a programed 15 button edit shuttle/controller under my left hand and a five button hyper scroll mouse under the right. Hardly ever used the keyboard in previous versions. This has to be a backward step. Forever tippy tap on the keyboard...so so slow, wasted seconds for extra moves just to get something to happen. Are we all forgetting just how fast it was to apply a transition, copy then bang bang bang along the timeline pasting it in the joins?

  • Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Cross dissolve problem again, sorry.

    I spoke too soon. Using the Command T key only rewards with an alert sound. No dissolve. This has to be operator error. I am placing the cursor on the transition point but cannot add a cross dissolve.
    Best.
    Tom

    Are you sure you have enough media to create the dissolve?  If you don't, you will get an audible error and you should see a pop-window with that warning (unless you selected "don't show again").
    Using the "Available Media" preference requires that you have enough head/tails on both the incoming and outgoing clips for the transition.  If you use the Overlap Media preference it will use whatever media is available to create the transition--hence the reason your timeline is shrunk.
    One possible work around is to go back to your preferences and set the default dissolve time to less than 1 second if all you need is a very quick dissolve.  This is just a hunch though, I haven't had a chance to try it.

  • HUGE TRANSITION CROSS DISSOLVE PROBLEMS

    Ok, I copied everything to a new project - same problem (unrelated frames in the background of a transition between 2 other clips). But now on top of that, sometimes it doesn't even create any transition at all! I have no files in Render media. People are telling me to dump preferences - what exactly does that mean? Please tell me step by step. Go into User Preference? which folder (general, editing...etc)? Do I just uncheck everything? Also, the apple8 isn't working as default transition anymore - it's just gone light grey & I have no idea how to get it back.
    Please help...
    Thanks,
    Billy

    Trashing Prefereneces is done by closing FCP, then navigate to this website: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/... nice little utiltiy to do that.
    Not sure it will help, but won't hurt.
    Apple 8 is a keyboard shortcut to open the log and capture window... command (apple) +T is the keyboard command to add the default transition.
    Control click on the cross Dissolve in the Effects tab in the Viewer, and select "make default transition"...
    Most of the time, when a transition isn't added it's because you don't have enough unused media to accomodate it. (you've edited in all the media that's available from a clip or subclip). Take off 15 frames on either side of an edit point that has this prolblem, and you should be able to add a 30 frame centered transition that way.

  • Cross Dissolve problem

    Hi,
    What are the correct settings for a fluent cross-dissolve from one clip to another?
    I am using version 12 of Premiere Elements and the standard length of my is 1 second (50 frames). However the result is that I still can see the faded out video 'stop' (instead of fading completely) and the new video seems to pause before it's fading in.
    Obviously I want it just going smoothly from one clip to another.
    Seems to me like a basic setting to any video editing software, but I cannot seem to fix this.
    Thanx for your responses.
    Best regards,
    Ronald

    Using some freeware, I have also some info about my original video file format. Maybe that helps to determine what settings I should put in Premiere. And looking back now at my video, I guess I described my problem wrongly. Looking closer at the transition, it's not really like previous clip has not fully disappeared, it does fully disappear, but ends with a few frames of still image, like the next clip starts with a few frames of still image....

  • Bizzare cross-dissolve problem

    I just inserted a cross-dissolve between two clips. Just as the dissolve is happening, though, I get a very brief--but very noticeable--image from the next clip in the movie where I'm also cross-dissolving!
    Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

    Another tip James.
    Shorten the incoming clip slightly - say 5 to 10 frames. Click on the tiny fine tuning icon at the bottom left of the incoming clip and drag the orange border inwards. This can be adjusted frame by frame up to 1 second. You can keep repeating this 1 second at a time - very useful for fine tuning clips.
    Doing this may fix that "ghost" image problem at the start of the cross dissolve transition. Of course, apply the transition after shortening the clip.

  • Problem to work on ThinkPad T430 with Autodesk Revit 2013 models on external monitor

    Did anybody from the community experience problem to work with Revit 2013 on external monitor, which hooked up to Lenovo T430 laptop with hybrid (Intel/Nvidia) video card? When I double click on any a model element on external screen this element jumps to unpredictable direction  and I am getting an error message   “can't keep elements joined”. It happened only on external monitor, when I am using the laptop screen nothing happened.
    Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks

    have you spoke to Autodesk about this issue?
    Try to update the Nvidia video driver to the latest version, and see whether that helps.

  • Front Row tiger problem [only works when iTunes already open]

    Ok this has never happened before and don't know why its started to happen;
    When I open up front row and go to movies,playlists or artists etc and click select, the little circling buffer symbol comes up and stays there. Nothing happens so I just have to force quit out of it.
    But, if I already have iTunes open, and then open up front row, and can select and play anything from within front row.
    Before I was always able to open front row without itunes already being open.
    Then only thing that I thought could be contributing was that a few days ago I installed you control: tunes which is an iTunes controller that stays in the menu bar.
    But even if i have this running or not, the problem with front row still persists.
    I've repaired any permissions I had but still no luck.
    Any suggestions??
    running MacBook C2D 2.16GHz with OS 10.4.11
    thanks, b.

    I apologise but there IS a new .plist file in ~/user/library/preferences. Still no fix though.
    I'm assuming its the first link I need because the second one is for leopard.
    When I try and install the .pkg I get an alert that says:
    'This software update requires a Macintosh with a built in IR receiver running Mac OS X 10.4.5'. I am running 10.4.11 and my apple remote is working just fine???
    I had Remote Buddy installed, thinkng that that may be causing the problem, but after uninstalling that, the problem still persists.

  • Cross Dissolve Problems

    Ive already checked some of the posts on here and dont really understand what im doing wrong.
    I have clips that im trying to use the corss dissolve transition effect on but it just wont do what i want it to do. The clips have enough frames in them and there are no gaps between clips, yet when i try to use the corss dissolve it will only let me place it on an incoming clip, i cant place it on an outgoing clip and worst of all it wont let me place it between an outgoing and incoming which is what i want to do. Ive looked up HANDLES but dont understand it.
    Can someone try and explain to me in laymans what im doing wrong?
    Ive added an image if it helps.
    Many many thanks

    The 'insufficient media' that the message is talking about is the "handles".
    So... what it looks like from this shot is that you've started each of the clips in your timeline at frame 1.  If you'd start at least at frame 16 as your IN POINT then you'd have 15 frames left as 'handle' to cover the transition.  Look at the way the transition sits on your timeline.  What that is telling us is that it HAD to start on the edit because your IN COMING clip didn't have any frames PRIOR to that inpoint to us IN THE TRANSITION. 
    Since you set an OUT POINT on the clip... and it still had material you didn't want to use... it HAS handles to the RIGHT of the OUTPOINT and then can be used as a transition.
    Imagine you put the OUTGOING CLIP on Video Track 2 and the INCOMING CLIP on Video Track 1.  You lined them up point to point.  VISUALLY you can see that there is NO WAY you are going to get a transition.
    NOW... grab the left side of the OUTGOING clip and drag it to the right.  Use your PEN TOOL to change the opacitity from 100 - 0 on the part just after where the INCOMING clip starts.
    THAT's what is happening.
    Now, Extend both the TOP RIGHT and the BOTTOM clip LEFT -- Use your opacity pen tool to create a fade in the ENTIRE span of the overlapping clips and you'll see what the transition is looking for.
    Oh, BTW -- if you cannot extend ONE or the OTHER clips in the direction you need... "you've got INSUFFICIENT MEDIA" and need to go back to the original clip and adjust your in/out points accordingly.
    Good luck,
    CaptM

  • Queens Problem: Only Works Up to 5

    Hello there,

  • Hover fade in with movie clips

    I have four vertical sections of text. With four images to
    the right. I want to be able to hover over a text section, and have
    the image to the right fade in.
    I've been placing this code in the first frame of my MC. My
    MC consists of the copy on the left, and the image on the right
    fading in:
    on (rollOver) {
    play();
    on (rollOut) {
    gotoAndStop(1);
    Can anyone help me? THANK YOU.

    Without seeing the rest of the code it is a but difficult to track some aspects down.  Why that array repeats objects is one issue I can't get my head around.  I don't know if the ENTER_FRAME is out of control with the way you have it implemented either.  That the function is using the index value is another since the index value will be changing with your loop, not with each object in it.
    I suggest you try a different approach and look into using the Tween class to fade and move the objects.  You can assign a tween for each and you don't need to have all kinds of ENTER_FRAME listeners getting assigned

Maybe you are looking for
