Cross fade problems

Hi there,
I would like to introduce a cross fade between two sequences.
I made sure I had enough cropping -- several tens of frames-- of the two sequences to allow cross fade.
What happens is that I still see briefly deleted frames on the final editing after rendering
What could I do wrong ? How can I avoid this problem ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

Any idea ?
Honestly? And I mean this in the kindest possible way ... my guess is user error.
Revisit what you have done. Have you added pad to your original sequences? Is it padded with black or with audio and video content? Have your trimmed the out point of the first nest far enough back to provide an adequate handle on the outgoing sequence? Have your trimmed the in point of the second nest far enough forward to provide an adequate handle on the incoming sequence? Have you checked that the two sequences are actually properly butted together with no gap so that the transition is happening between the two?

  • Cross fade tool problems

    I am wondering if anyone has had a problem with cross fades in logic pro, I am dealing with about 15 or so audio tracks, I have been mixing them for awhile using fades and cross fades and everything has been sounding and working great. all of a sudden no on some of the projects all the fades dont work, and at the point of the fade it brings in a messed up sound from another instrument, basically they all need to be redone, when I do redraw the fad it works again, but I am not looking forward to redrawing all the fades.
    I have a feeling it may be my disk space getting packed up, but I still have about 17GB, thats the only thing I can think of that changed with my computer in the past few months.
    Has anyone had this issue? any fixes for it?

    It's not uncommon for fade files to become corrupted.
    A couple of quick options when this happens...
    Go to the songs folder, and locate the Fade file folder, and trash it. When you hit "play" again, the files will re-draw.
    Or "Save As" under a slightly different title... like "Song Title 01, Song Title 02", etc... and when you hit play, the fade files will update and re-draw.
    See if either of those options get things back on track, without you having to draw them all over again.

  • 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.

  • Audio Cross Fade

    Newbie with FCE so thanks in advance. I am trying to add an audio Cross Fade. Following Apple Pro Training book: Placed play head before edit point. Clicked on edit point on a1 track and point becomes highlighted on both audio tracks (and video track). Then chose Cross Fade (tried both). Problems: the Cross Fade icon does not appear on tracks. I also tried to drag and drop but if I do that the highlight disappears with no cross fade icon appearing. FYI when marking the highlight point the vid track also highlights unlike the photo in instruction book. Both audio tracks are unlocked as is vid track. I am on a MacBook Pro and have already done some experimental vids that have worked but have not worked with transitions yet.
    Thanks again.
    PS Hoping I won't have same problem with vid transitions

    Open the clips into the viewer and check to see if you have handles to create the overlap for the transition.

  • 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:

  • Adding cross fade reveals bit of footage I thought was razored off !

    Hi,
    Premiere Pro CS3
    If I go frame by frame with cursor at the end of my video I see only the footage I expect. Lets call it clip C.
    If I add black video at end of my footage and play timeline, I still see nothing extra beyond my video of Clip C, my footage ends abruptly and the black shows, but if I cross fade the junction then play, I see a bit of footage which followed on in the original recording on the camcorder (clip D) but was definitely cut off in this project, if frame by frame is anything to go by !
    It certainly doesnt show when scrubbed or played prior to adding the cross fade. If I use Dip to Black instead of Cross fade on that video/blackVideo junction then it fades to black and no unwanted video shows up.
    If I replace the black video with a video clip copy pasted from earlier in my sequence and cross fade the joint, then that bit of unwanted video (clip D)shows up again, fading out as the added clip fades in. As such if this was in the middle of my sequence I would be in trouble, but I can use dip to black at the end and not see it. As such though I need to know why I am seeing something not there until cross fade or similar is added.
    Whats going on ? How can I be showing something that was razored off ? I never knew that was there prior to adding in the cross dissolve.
    I also can see it if I use dither dissolve, and no doubt other transitions.
    I have even dragged the cursor and whilst seeing a frame of Clip C, sliced the end off a bit more incase clip D was lurking in the end of my video, that should do the trick, but annoyingly its still there ! Remove the transition and it doesnt show.
    Why ?

    Hi,
    Bill's explanation is correct , and I recently had similar problem with fading in and out, using cs3 and I found I had to do a couple things...
    1) zoom all the way in on the timeline to see individual frames. Use "eye" icon to turn on and off tracks so you can see the one you want one at a time when necessary.
    2) do the cross dissolve or fades using your own keyframes ...rather than the effect , and move frame by frame using arrow keys and look at program monitor to make sure your keyframes are in the right place NOT to show any footage you dont want.
    You could just adjust the keyframes of the effect cross dissolve but I find it easier just to do it manually... and make the dip angle of the transparency line similar to all your fades if you want that similarity...  In this sample its fades out and fades in, but if you stack the video you can fade one in as you fade the other out...which I find I have more control over than using the effect...but you can adjust the effect too if you want...
    anyway, couple ways you can do it is the bottom line and you need to just scrub thru frame by frame to double check what you really have...and render it first...so its all green....no red in the cross dissolve areas...or you wont see whats really there....  the image shows all manual fades

  • Massive bug by combining Shadow/Highlight and a cross fade

    Hi. I found what appears to be a bug by using a cross fade between two clips with the shadow highlight effect. I cross faded two clips (240fps AVCHD from FS700) each with RGB Curves and Shadow/Highlight and sometimes I get this nasty side effect. The side effect is a random white flashing, or rather an erratic application of the shadow/highlight effect. Maybe it's because it is trying to process the effect on footage which is slowly losing opacity due to the cross fade, and as this happens, the colour data changes as a result. This effect may not happen outright when you try it, I think it applies to specific clips, or clips where the shadow number is higher than the highlights or vice versa. It is now happening again in my new edit and this worries me because I like the effect that it gives, but not the buggy side effect.
    Here is the video where I first experienced it. It only appears to happen at 2:18, but now in my next video, it's happening in my opening shot.
    Rendering with gtx570 & pprocs6.

    The problem occurs when two clips that both have Shadow/Highlight adjusment with different values are crossfaded. You get this light dark bands of flickering in the crossfade. It looks horrible.
    SOMETIMES, disabling GPU acceleration works. Not always.
    Setting the clipping amounts to 0, as opposed to the default of .01 will help with the clip flickering, but NOT the crossfade flikering. It will not help
    Using Opacity keyframes as opposed to the Crossfade Video Transition Effect will not help.
    The only sure  way to solve the problem is to make INTER clips. Render the two clips seperately with all shadow/highlight effects, then replace the clips on your timeline with the rendered clips and THEN crossfade them.
    Also, for those of you that simply notice the "sky" in your scenes flickering when using Shadow/Highlight Adjustment, make sure to set at least the Black Clip from .01 to 0. This will stop that annoying flicker throughout the entire clip.

  • ITunes 7 Skipping Issue Fixed - Cross Fade Playback

    Per the prior post by chiefhabeb, if your DMA settings are correct and your still experiencing skipping, do what mponzi suggested, completely disable the "Cross Fade Playback" feature in iTunes. (iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Playback) After updating my audio driver, making sure my DMA settings were correct, turning off iTune's "Sound Enhancer" feature and updating DirectX, I still had minimal but unacceptable skipping which was driving me crazy. Finally per mponzi's suggestion, disabling the "Cross Fade Playback" feature is what worked for me! SKIP FREE MUSIC THIS MORNING....FINALLY!!!!!!! Hope it works for everyone having the same annoying issue!

    Per my earlier post - this really fixed the stuttering/skipping problem for me. Not one song has skipped all morning since disabling the cross fade playback. (Now if my videos would only playback like they used to.....have made several adjustments per troubleshooting iTunes Video playback and they are still stuttering and out of sync. Burned up enough time on iTunes issues. Will save the video playback problem for another day.

  • Random audio cross fade (dissolve) rendering issue - bug?

    Hi, there -
    I'm having the same issue as this guy, who it looks like never received a reply:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6536079&#6536079
    To quote:
    "I've got a sequence with 18 moderately sparse tracks. When adding cross-fades, often audio from other tracks will randomly play during a transition after rendering. This is audio from other tracks at the same point in the sequence.
    The same thing happens if I cut the audio in fresh from the source, copy the problem area into its own teeny sequence and try again, trash prefs, etc. It also plays back with the mystery tracks soloed or not."
    The cross-fades play through fine as expected until rendered.
    Thanks!

    Maybe I wasn't being entirely fair.
    Most of the time, FCP does fine for what I need.
    But when it chokes on something, I give it a few more tries then move on to something proven to work. (Troubleshooting can only last so long with looming deadlines.)
    My guess is, if Final Cut comes bundled with programs like Motion and Soundtrack, that means there are probably going to be some things that FCP won't do particularly well on it's own.
    Like we've said to the Avid die hards: These are just tools - use what works.
    You can get a screw out with a pair of pliers, but it's a lot easier with a screwdriver. Err, unless the screw is stripped. But that just means there's a problem with your... media?

  • Cross fades pixelate badly . Why?

    Some, not all of the cross fades in my projects are pixelating badly. This only becomes evident after export.
    I am not sure why. I am not sure what other info you might need to help me solve this problem.

    You most likely need to export at a higher quality / bitrate and your pixilation should go away. I have seen this with transitions with certain graphics in my projects when I output at low quality for clients to reivew work. Try re exporting at 5000kbps h264 and see it it helps. Also if you are up converting to a higher resolution than the original footage that could do it as well. Try exporting using 422, look at the video and if all is ok then render it in compressor and play with different settings but 3000 to 5000kbs should not have blocky transitions, if you are exporting low quality then your transitions will not look great.

  • Why will my cross fade not go over the edit point?

    When using the cross fade effect, for some reason I can only get it to go on one of the clips and not over the edit. Not too useful! The duration of the fade seems to be difficult to adjust as well. Any idea what's going on?

    I had a friend who had the same problem... after taking a look we concluded that it had to do with the settings on his original footage.
    If you want a creative solution, you could scatter the clips by placing them on separate timelines with a small overlap, and add a cross fade to the end of the outgoing clip and the beginning of the incoming clip... not sure it that helps...

  • Cross fades not working in flex mode.

    Hey there,
    i have an audio region in Logic Pro X (latest update) that's using the flex pitch mode. When I want to cross fade it with another region, it just doesn't work. Seems to be a bug or am I wrong?
    Greetings,
    R. Philipp

    Me too. Does the fade tool move your region las if you just had the cursor selected?
    Looks like there are quite a few threads on this topic to check out.

  • Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

    Hello,
    I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links.  The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work.  They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect.  And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong.  Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working.  The address to the site is below.
    http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
    I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone.  Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
    Hope someone can help me with this!

    When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine.  This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
    I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page.  Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

  • Cross fade in a folio (CS6)

    My company is 2 years behind the DPS curve (and by extension, so am I) so I apologize if this seems like a dumb question.
    I'm building a folio in CS6 and would like to create a cross fade from one article to another.
    I have a 4-second intro video
    I want it to run automatically when the folio is opened
    When it finishes I want it to cross fade into the cover of the folio
    Is there a way to do this?
    It doesn't have to be separate articles, it could be MSO's if that's a better way, as long as it doesn't reload the video when someone goes back to the cover.
    I just haven't found a description on how I can cross fade from an entire (1024 x 768) layout to another.
    Any help would be appreciated (even a "hey dummy, it's over <here>").

    Moved to DPS forum.
    There is no way to do this without having the video play again when the cover is reloaded.

  • 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.
