Cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8

Hi there, seriously struggling with cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8.
The problem is simple: I don't know how to do it, and I can't find the option to do it. Right clicking doesn't give me the option to 'Add Cross Dissolve'. I eventually found it by clicking 'Lift From Storyline'  and then clicking 'Add Cross Dissolve' but I can't navigate it at all...I'm trying to cross dissolve from one clip to another without it fading to black in between. Can someone help me, or point me in the direction of a tutorial? I've been looking for ages now and not found one that I can use!
This is how it looks at the moment...The clip on the left fades to black and then the next clip starts really suddenly, neither of which I want to happen, but this is the closest I've got after hours of trying to make sense of it!

Lift From Storyline is not what you want, as you've found.
Command-T
Highilght the In or the Out point of a clip, the default transition (Cross Desolve) is applied to that edit point.
Hiighlight a whole clip, or series of clips together, the default transition is applied to all In and Out points for all selected clips.
In the Transition Browser, right-click a cilp and select "Make Default Transition" to change which is the default.
In the Transition Browser, select the "All" catagory in the left column, the first one listed is the one currently set at the Default Transition.
You can also drag-and-drop from the Transition Browser, or highilght an In or Out point, or a single or series of clips, and double-click a transition in the browser.

  • Cross Processing in Final Cut Pro...

    Hi everyone, I have been trying to figure out how to cross process in final cut pro without buying a plugin. I searched around and have seen the plugins, but they are not the cross processed look that I am lookin for. If anyone knows how to do this in Final Cut, please let me know.

    Between the "Bleach Bypass" filter available here (Well worth the money for the whole set but there is there is a demo version too).

    and the "Three Way Color Corrector" in FCP you could get very close...

  • Final Cut Pro 10.1.3, My Cross Dissolve icon is black, I have tried many option but I cannot get it to function. Do I need another plug in for it to work? Help please.

    Hi,
    I am trying to do a very basic cross dissolve in final cut pro 10.1.3. One thing I have noticed is that al a lot of my icons in the transitions sections are black. Is this normal? I can' t find much on this. When I drag the transition onto the clip a message comes up saying, 'There is not enough extra media beyond clip egdes', It asks do I want to over lap to create the transition. I say 'Create Transition', but it doesn't. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Curiously, this picture I can see :-)
    The dialog is quite normal. It just means what it says, namely, there is not enough extra media at the edges of the clips (so called "handles") to be used for the transition, so FCP X needs to shorten some of those clips to create the handles - thus the total length of your timeline will decrease.
    But the fact that the transition appears as black in the browser, and that it is not applied, show that there is definitely something wrong.
    Since these default transitions are installed as part of the application itself, I believe the best course of action is to delete FCP X (use FCS Remover to completely remove all traces of the application), and then install afresh from the purchases section of the App Store.

  • Final cut pro x dissolves not working

    Final Cut Pro X,  dissolves not working, When I use Ribbon, Heart ect, they showup on the video flickering, will not allow me to render the video, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cross Grade Final Cut Pro

    I need to order the Final Cut Pro Cross grade for my recent purchase of the mac book pro. In order for me to turn it in I must turn in my original DVD's to get the cross grade version. Will the cross grade work with my older Mac and Mac Book Pro? Here is the specs to my older desktop: Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with OS X 10.3.9? If not then how will I be able to use them on both computers with out having to pay for another verson of Final Cut Studio 5.0?

    The crossgrade works on Intels and older G5s.
    BUT...you only get a license for one tower. The Crossgrade does allow for it to be installed on a tower and a laptop, but you cannot use them at the same time. If you have several towers, you need multiple copies, or you are breaking the license agreement.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 Dissolves

    I mostly use Final Cut Pro 7, but today I was using version 5 and I was having difficulty applying dissolves to
    a group of clips at one time. Is that feature available in version 5?

    The workaround is to duplicate the sequence.  Load it into the browser.  Mark IN and OUT on the parts you want, then drag to the Canvas and choose OVERWRITE WITH TRANSITION.

  • Final Cut Pro 6 - Can't set Dissolve Transition longer than :00;25

    I'm new to FCP and I can't find any information on this issue. Is there a setting that would prevent me from extending the time for this transition?

  • Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

    I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture.  The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
    Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14.  Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
    I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit. 
    Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options.  Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
    I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes.  Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play.  A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
    Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.  
    Below is the first part of the error report dump. 
    Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
    Appreciate the thoughts.
    Cheers -

    objc[1012]: garbage collection is OFF

    Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
    Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
    I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
    I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
    Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

  • IMovie to iDVD or Final Cut Pro to DVD studio pro "Better output"

    I recorded some family videos onto a computer with a WinTV pci board.
    Converted the MPEG2 to DV/DVCPro NTSC on my Mac with MPEG stremeclip.
    Used quicktime to divide the tapes/clips where we had switched recordings.
    Now i was going to use final cut pro but i am starting to like imovie 09.
    I want to take the clips and add simple fades mostly cross dissolve fade to black and just nothing something not noticeable. Then once I have combined the events reasonably. I want to put them onto DVD.
    Say our christmas videos
    One DVD with each year christmas event.
    And one for someone's birthdays through the years.
    If you need me to elaborate ill try harder.
    So should I use Final Cut Pro then have DVD studio make the DVDs Or iMovie 09 and iDVD 09. Which would have the best looking output.
    Oh by the way how can i remove the static feedback from the recordings I don't care which application i need tell me which one.
    If someone needs an example of the main sound i don't want ill post one.
    Note: I will be posting this in the Final Cut Pro forms as well.

    Since you have both, you should run both and see if you see a difference.
    I would expect that a $1,400 product would outperform a $20 product (= 1/4 of iLife).
    But the question is, How much better? and is it worth the extra effort to you? Only you can decide that.
    Another option for you to consider is you can edit in iMovie and export your project to Final Cut Pro in XML. Might be the best of both worlds.

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

    Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

    Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

  • Fade Out to White in Final Cut Pro (FCP)

    Could someone please show me how to do add a fade-to-white transition in Final Cut Pro (FCP)? (Instead of black, which is default.) I want to be able to do both: 1) fade to white; 2) and white to the picture. An example clip:
    http://www.allfilters.com/campingfilters/gravityfed/platypus-gravityworks-filter
    *Click on the "Videos" tab.
    This clip ends with "fade to white." I want to apply the same effect in the beginning (white to movie).
    Thank you in advance.

    Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve> Dip to Color Dissolve ... add it at the start and end
    Double click the transition at the start (the Fade In) to open it in the Viewer and change the Color property to White. For extra credit you can change the Start value to 50%. Then double click the transition at the end (the Fade Out) to open it in the Viewer and again change the Color property to White. For extra credit change the End value to 50%.
    Or another way would be to use Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color Solid to create a "White" clip and then use that to dissolve into and out of your edit using a regular Cross Dissolve transition or by placing the Color Solid on another layer and the keyframing the opacity.
    Hope it helps

  • Openning a Final Cut Pro 5 file in Final Cut Pro 3

    Hi,
    Is there is there a way to save a final cut pro 5 file in a format that final cut pro 3 would be able to open?
    Thanks Adriel

    An EDL is just like a basic spreadsheet document that
    tells the software what to do.
    If you transistion was more than just a standard
    cross-dissolve, then the EDL probably won't be able
    to describe it..
    ...sorry!
    Oh...
    So is there any other way that I can export my work and open it up on FC HD4 with the effects a transitions??
    PLEASE any one.
    Thanks Adriel

  • Can i set a default transition for final cut pro x

    Can I set a default transition for Final Cut Pro X? I'm doing a multicamera edit and would like all edit points to have a cross dissolve transisiton. Can I make this happen by default?
    Thanks!

    Cross dissolve is the default transition. It's applied with Cmd-T.

  • Can't cross dissolve on two cuts

    Hi
    This is probably dumb simple to solve, but I can't figure it out at the moment. I have edited and rendered a number of sequences. I now want to put the sequences together, tagging them together with simple cross-dissolves. So, I made a brand new sequence (let's call it Z), then dragged down two rendered sequences (A & B) to the new Z timeline. When I try to make a cross dissolve between the two sequences (A & B), the cross-dissolve feature will only go forward from the 'In" point of Sequence B. It won't allow me to grab any portion of the end of sequence A. I'm quite certain I've done this before, so I can't figure out what the problem is. By the way, FCP will let me cross dissolve between the end of sequence A and a new unrendered clip -- but not between sequences.
    I've got a ton of sequences to tag together for a project, so I'm looking for some help!

  • Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

    When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
    Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
    Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
    By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

    Hey Ani_,
    I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
    Import your footage into Premiere Pro
    Name your clips (helps find things later on)
    Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
    Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
    Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do.  You will notice you have no errors on the export.
    Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.
