Cross-fading

How do I get cross-fading to work on iPod? It works fine in iTunes.
Toshiba Windows XP Pro

The cross fading settings don't transfer to the iPod, cross fading is only applied to your songs in iTunes. If you're interested you can put in a feature request at this link: Apple Product Feedback

Implementing Cross-Fading in Python Gstreamer (pygst)

I'm implementing a custom music player and wanted to know how I might implement cross-fading from one song to another from an arbitrary point in the first song to the start of the second song. Links or even approaches to doing this would be appreciated.

Has this problem come back? I'm using Blas and Lapack 3.3.1 but I'm getting the same error as the original poster meaning FOFIX won't start.

Please Help Me with: CROSS FADING MUSIC ON IPOD QUESTION

I know in itunes playback it's simple to have the songs "cross fade" during playback, but does anyone know how to make this also happen when youre storing them as a playlist in your ipod so they will do the same cross fading upon playback? Or if this is even possible? Thanx so much

Ryan,
Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Hold down the Select (centre) and Menu buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
If that does not work you may need to restore the software on your iPod, follow the instructions here :-

How to i apply cross fading in adobe premiere elements 8?

Hi, i am using adobe premiere elements 8 and i would really like to know how to cross fade video like in windows movie maker. I have tried the cross dissolve and addictive dissolve as well as the fade in and out options and the even the opacity option, but its not getting the same result as windows movie maker. I really like the way the drag and drop option automatically cross fades the audio and video together and then you can drag it out or in, depending on how much you want to cross the 2 sections. Is there a way i can do this in adobe premiere elements 8?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
I had not seen this 2010 thread before. Now when I do (2014), I believe that you are quite right to question what was written and the impression implied
the Cross Dissolve video transition and Cross Fade audio transition function exactly the same way in Premiere Elements as they do in MovieMaker.
Premiere Elements and Windows Movie Maker transitions do not "work" the same, at least in slideshow with photos.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Video Transitions - Part 1 Slideshow Duration
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Video Transitions - Part 2 How They Work
This same decrease in total duration of the Timeline content can also be seen by addition of video clips and application of Crossfade video transition in Movie Maker.
What are you using as your Premiere Elements Cross Dissolve transition alignment? Try "Between Clips" if versions 11 or 12 OR "Center at Cut" for versions earlier than 11.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Cross Fading in flash?

Can anyone tell me how to cross fade images in flash? I am
trying to blend the images on about a 1/4 second cross fade?

yep, pretty speedy, but they do it alot faster than that 'as
seen on TV' ... lol. but how about using the tween class and
running the transitions both in and out at the same time.

Black frame flash when cross-fading still photographs

Hi, thanks for theuseful answers to questions. I have not seen this one, forgive me if it is somewhere. I am in iMovie HD 6.03 with a MacBook Pro.
When I cross-dissolve two still pictures ( with Ken Burns Effect on) I am left with a flash on the incoming picture, near the beginning. It is a black frame I can't remove, because doign so will un-render the dissolve! What a Catch 22, adn what a weird glitch!
I guess the frame comes in where the transition ends, but why would it do that? It is very evident when I play the series of crossfaded stills, it comes out as a big flash on each incoming pic. Does anyone have any workarounds or suggestions for applying the crossdissolve in a different way to avoid this? Or a cosmetic fix? Or maybe I just fade out and back in, what a drag for a whole bunch of pix.
thanks in advance,
maynemoon.
thanks so much.

Hi maneymoon:
Welcome to discussions!
If you delete the transition, you can always put it
back in without any problems.
Sue
Thanks for the welcome, Sue! I am indeed new, but not new to Macs and audio. But this is my first iMovie experience.
As to your answer, yes, I know I can delete the transition and re-apply, but when I reapply it, I still have the extra frame problem no matter what. ( I was trying to manually remove the extra black frame the transition left me with)
I am mainly wanting not get this black flash when I do a crossfade between two still pictures, or why I am getting it at all.
I want to use cross-dissolve transitions between the pictures, but can't get rid of the danged flash! thanks.

Turn off cross-fading?

Some songs work well with the cross-fade, but some songs should never fade out, and some should never fade in. Is there any way to tell iTunes "when shuffling, never fade into this song"?
I tried to submit this as a suggestion, but I see that the iTunes feedback page is now just for requesting music.

Sure (at the risk of stating the obvious)--turn off crossfading when in the shuffle mode. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear.

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.

A really simple cross-fade image for beginners

Hello, I would like to put a cross-fading image into a table that is my website header. I don't need anything complicated at all, no controls etc, just want 8 images that fit my cell to continuosly crossfade after 3 seconds or so. Found many scripts/plugins/jquery etc but they all seem very complicated for beginners. I've used 'easyrotator' which is so easy to use, but it doesn't seem to have a cross fade on the free mode, just a swipe and i'm sure I can find similar for free. Maybe I'm missing something but I would have thought dreamweaver (being the helpful prog that it is) would have something to do this?
Ideally, I would like it to be continuous regardless of the page people are on. I imagine this is above my head so if too tricky, perhaps it could just be random image fade.
Any advice on the best thing to use here is greatly appreciated!

Yes, it's the 'fade' option here: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
There really isn't enough instructions on this website for beginners to understand exactly what and where to put the various code otherwise this would be perfect!
ok, here goes...i'll try to explain the process.
1) Insert a <div> on your page and give it the class of 'slideshow' like below.
<div class="slideshow">
</div>
2) Insert your images into the <div> as below: (example below shows images stored in 'images' folder)
<div class="slideshow">
<img src="images/beach1.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
<img src="images/beach2.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
<img src="images/beach3.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
<img src="images/beach4.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
<img src="images/beach5.jpg" width="200" height="200" />
</div>
3) Style the 'slideshow' <div> with css. Go into code view and paste the below directly before the closing </head> tag near the top of your page.
<style type="text/css">
.slideshow { height: 232px; width: 232px; margin: auto }
.slideshow img { padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; }
</style>
4) Add the jquery scripts to your page. Go into code view and paste the below directly AFTER the css you pasted in above so this code is now directly before the closing </head> tag

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.slideshow').cycle({
fx: 'fade' // choose your transition type, ex: fade, scrollUp, shuffle, etc...
</script>
Thats it!.
Well you would want to make sure the dimensions of the 'slideshow' <div> reflect those of your image.
So for instance if your image is 300px x 300px the dimensions should be 332px x 332px. (see below) Why the extra 32px - because this is allocated for the 15px left/right/top/bottom padding and 1 px border around the image that you see on the example page.
<style type="text/css">
.slideshow { height: 332px; width: 332px; margin: auto }
.slideshow img { padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; }
</style>
Also ideally you want to download the jquery cycle script rather than use the directly linked one just incase in future the script is moved.
So download the script from the link provided on the page and change this link:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js">
To wherever you keep the script in your site folder (below its kept in a folder named 'jquery_scripts':
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery_scripts/jquery.min.js">

Mac 10.6.4 and CS5 - known problems? VERY slow, long freezes

I am on a brand new 12-core (dual 6-core 2.66GHz) Mac Pro with 16GB of RAM (and of course running 10.6.4). I have a new install of CS5 Master Suite (trial version, our box has not arrived yet), and primarily in my explorations with After Effects, it is running PAINFULLY slowly, mostly around simple interface stuff like scrubbing the timeline.
But this was also very apparent during rendering - a project that took about 20 minutes on my old 32-bit Core 2 Duo Dell with 4GB of RAM and CS4 took about 14 minutes on this new one under CS5 (running with 4 cores each using 2GB of RAM, and plenty of cores and RAM left over for other system stuff)... but I could see that a lot of that was due to HUGE delays in processing time as it rendered, long swaths of spinning beach-ball time. Had it not been for those, it likely would have rendered in about 2-3 minutes (as I would expect).
I have installed all available system and Adobe updates as of today (9/28/10), I am now running the updated AE 10.0.1... and I am having the same issues, with AE running very, very slowly. Scrubbing a project is nearly impossible - it regularly sends the system right to the beach-ball for many seconds; opening one project, which took 7-15 seconds on the Windows side (an old 32-bit Core 2 Duo Dell with 4GB Ram and CS4), takes up to 4:30 on the Mac under CS5! Same project, hierarchy, footage, etc.
I tried rendering it several ways: with 2 cores with 3GB each (leaving 6GB and 12 cores for other apps), with 3 multiprocessor cores each with 3GB of RAM (leaving 4GB of RAM and 10 cores for other apps), with 4 cores with 2GB each (6GB and 12 cores allowed for other stuff), with 7 cores each with 1.5 GB (leaving the minimum RAM and cores for other apps) and with NO multiprocessing on at all. Just for the baseline, the old Dell rendered this same file in 23:49, so all of these results are an improvement over that, but not nearly enough! Those long pauses still occurred - while watching the render, I could see it fly through parts, and then choke for many seconds at a time. Here are the timing results:
Multiprocessing Off: 9:57
2 Cores with 3GB each: 14:01
3 Cores with 3GB each: 9:36
4 Cores with 2GB each: 9:12
7 Cores with 1.5GB each: 15:12
This all seems pretty *******' random, though my testing methodology was far from iron-clad, as you can see. But either way, you would think with my system specs more cores would produce better results, not worse. I would have expected the 2 or 3 core configs to produce the best results.
The horrible lags seemed most pronounced on frames that cross faded, even a very simple crossfade - there was only one of significance in my video, where two videos crossfade over the space of about a second; each FRAME of that crossfade appeared to take about 20-30 seconds to render... or more accurately, each frame would render, and then there would be one of the insane processor lags. No lags this bad or pronounced happened on the Dell side - it was slow all around, but consistent.
Now, I did some tests with Activity Monitor open, and discovered some interesting things. When rendering with multiprocessing, each core used for rendering shows up as a process called "aeselflink" (as I'm sure you know), and at least a few of them are always at the top of the list, if you view activity by % CPU.
What was interesting is that while the render was actually processing (I could see motion in the render preview, as opposed to when it was choked), the CPU usage graph looked as you'd expect, going up and down between 5-50% of the CPU use. But when it stalled out and choked on a frame - or whatever it was doing - the CPU usage in the graph would PIN to the top as completely maxed out, with between 98 and 99% of the usage going to % User.
When those lags happened, the aeselflink processes often showed up as EACH using anywhere from 200% to 900% of the % CPU. Sometimes they were all pinned up there; other times only one or two seemed to demand that much time. Sometimes, however, things choked and the CPU usage graph showed NO activity, plain black idle for many seconds at a time. This doesn't seem to reveal much to me, but maybe smarter people can get some info from it.
Also, sometimes when starting a render, the aeselflink processes would show up in the Activity monitor normally, not demanding much time, but for a good long time (1-2 minutes) the main AE application process would show up red, saying it was not responding; during this time, the CPU usage graph showed almost no activity at all, just 0-10% User activity.
Whew. Ok, there's my random smattering of data. I hope this helps give someone in the know a better picture of what's going on here... this is a huge problem if it can't be addressed.
Matt

From the initial description this sounds a lot like the problems I've been having with rendering in After Effects CS5.
I have read a lot online about hyper-threading being the cause and have been adjusting various settings with multiprocessing and turning hyper-threading on and off. So far nothing has been able to give me consistent processor use during renders or reliable render times.
Here are the details of my set up:
Big Bad MF Mac
12 core Mac Pro, 2 x 2.93 GHz 6 core Intel Xeon, 32GB of RAM.
Boot Drive is 1TB
3 additional 2TB Hard drives RAID 0 for a 6TB Media Drive
Mac OS 10.6.4
After Effects 10.0.1
Project details are:
1920x1080, 23.976 FPS
Footage is all uncompressed 4:4:4 AJA Kona 10 bit RGB captured using Final Cut Pro from a Sony F950.
Project Color space is Apple RGB.
Using Keylight 1.2 to Key video and then placing the footage as a 3D layer, with several other 3D layers with 2 spot lights on the footage to generate shadows on the background layer.
Only effects used are Key Light 1.2, Levels, Hue and Saturation.
Output is 1920x1080 Animation codec quicktime at 100%, 48Khz Audio.
Multi processing is enabled. I have experienced the problem with many different settings.
Current settings are:
5GB for other applications
12 CPUs used for other applications
2GB per core.
All source footage is on the RAID. All output files are being written to the RAID.
Renders are amazingly inconsistent. Processor activity and render times are dramatically different when performing render tests with the same composition and identical settings. I regularly get the spinning beach ball and rendering pretty much stops for long periods of time. When watching the processors via activity monitor I have noticed many times that rendering starts out strong, peaking all processors being used regardless of multiprocessing settings. When this is happening the render looks like it is progressing as expected. Then after some period of time, sometimes 2 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes the processor use drops off and rendering slows to a crawl. When this happens the whole computer suffers. I can't even use a web browser.
After extensive testing I have noticed that I have my best luck setting up several items in the render que. Save. Quit. Restart. Turn off hyper-threading after restart via the processor pref pane from Apple. Open After effects and render. The problem will still occur, however if I'm lucky I can get good render performance for 10-20 minutes before the system starts to lag again. This is completely killing my work flow. I don't know what's going to happen from one render to the next.
I know this computer can scream under some situations, but something is terribly wrong here. This computer is not living up the hype on the Apple web site about Apple and Adobe After Effects.
Please help.
I'm going to add some more information just in case some engineer at Adobe gets his hands on this. HINT HINT
I set up a render before I left work last night. It was 7 clips as described above. I forgot to include the scrubbed audio to one of the comps so I went back and re-rendered the clip today. Last night the clip took 33 minutes to render. Today, after a restart and turning off hyper-threading. I opened After Effects, turned off multiprocessing and clicked ok. Then I went back and turned it on with these settings.
5GB for other Apps
12 installed cores (after disabling hyper-threading)
2 cores for other apps and 2GB per CPU.
So yeah, the exact same clip with audio rendered for me today in 5 minutes.
I should have some time today to run some experiments and do some testing. If anybody out there has any suggestions I'm game to try just about anything to help isolate the problem and get it fixed ASAP. I just hope this doesn't turn into one of those bugs where Adobe and Apple just keep kicking it back and forth and nothing ever gets resolved.

Preloader Freezes, then 'Unresponsive Script' Warning

Hi folks-
This is my first Edge Animate project.
I have created a simple cross-fading 'slide show' with moving text overlays using the most recent upgrade of Edge Animate 3.0.0. 8 slides. The stage isn't that huge: 748x334 pixels. There is one .png overlay with a transparent interior to create the framing; the 8 slides revealed underneath are all Q50 'saved for web' jpgs averaging under 40kB each. I have used one of the simple preloaders in the included library and published for web.
My problem presents regardless of which browser I use (tried the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera), and whether I run the published .html solo (hosted on my server), or embedded in the final web page it's destined for. Also, I get the same result when I use Ctrl-Enter from within Edge Animate to preview in my default browser (Firefox).
The problem is that the preloader gif only runs briefly, then freezes, followed by up to a minute of waiting (sometimes even more) before the first slide appears and the animation begins. Solo'd, it's just the frozen animated gif during the wait. Embedded in the final web page, the whole page, including navigation, is unresponsive until after the wait is over.
Depending on the browser, I will get various warnings. In Firefox I get the 'Unresponsive Script' warning and it identifies the unresponsive scripts as:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:4
Or
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:5
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:166
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:45
Sometimes I've selected 'cancel script'; sometimes I've selected 'wait for script to finish'; it doesn't seem to matter which one I select. Sometimes it works immediately after making either selection; In some cases I get the warning message 2-3 times before it finally works.
I've tried both hosting the runtime files myself and on Adobe CDN. I've also tried 'Immediate' and 'Polite' for the preloader. It makes no difference.
I've also disabled all add-ons in Firefox and the result is the same, though it may take less time to recover from the freeze.
I ran a speed test and my current download speed is 13mbps, so I can't believe my paltry image files are taking this long to load...and even if they were, shouldn't the preloader continue to animate during the load?
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I sure am hoping for a solution~!
When I created something similar to this in Flash a couple years ago, it didn't even need a preloader it loaded up and ran so fast...
Quite Puzzled,
bOB

hi bOB,
I know your post has been long time ago, however recently I'm having the same issue you had, except the errors messages you're getting, my preloader stays at the same point unless I hit reload page on the browser and finally loads it. Are you still having the preloader issue even with the most recent Edge Animate version?
Thanks,
Paco

Scanned PDF Images show up black in ScreenSaver Mode

In the past I've scanned random images, converting them to PDF files and adding them to a folder of photos to be used as a screensaver on my Mac, but the latest batch (on a new iMac, operating Mac OS X, v. 10.5.4 w/a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory), scanned using Adobe Reader v. 9, now show up solid black rather than the scanned image. For instance, older PDF files and JPEG photos show up, but the latest images, when cross-faded between the older ones, are displayed as solid black rather than the new image. The image appears when I open each document individually (so I know they were scanned correctly)...just not when accessed by the screensaver. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you!
Regards,
J. R.

Eric
What colour profile are these pics? Greyscale? iPhoto supports RGB, which is what cameras shoot in. Convert the pics to RGB and they will will display correctly.
You can change the Colour Profile of a photo in the Tools menu in Preview.

Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox

We're building webhelp files with RoboHTML 5. These files
only seem to work on Internet Explorer. The links do not work right
in Firefox. Anyone else having this problem and know how to fix?
Also, did I read somewhere that Robohelp is not compatible
with IE 7.0 or did I imagine that?

I produce web help in Robohelp X5.0.2, and have found one or
two minor issues with Firerfox and Opare, but current versions of
Firefox (2.0.0.4) and Opera (9.21) seem to be working much better
than earlier versions. I have no problems with Firefox. In Opera, I
now have just one small problem - that it doesn't handle DHTML
effects such cross-fading images in slideshows (you just get a
simple flick from one image to the next one).
I have had no problems using Robohelp X5.0.2 with IE7.
I have tried Apple Safari on Windows XP, but that really
doesn't like web help at all. The topics appear but the navigation
and search panes are always blank. That's with java suport etc
enabled in the browser.

Optional editable regions in head

I'm trying to create a master template that will enable me to
include or not include cross-fading photographs in pages based on
that template.
I know that with DW8 I can insert an editable region in the
<head> (ie for description, keywords).
I know that with DW8 I can insert an optional region in the
<body> to show/hide content.
But can I insert an optional editable region in the
<head>?
I want to have the option of including a javascript file in a
<script> tag in the <head> of pages created from the
template and if I exercise the option to include it in the
<head>, I also want to be able to edit and change the name of
the javascript file.
All the help I've seen only talks about optional regions in
the <body>.
Do I use optional editable regions for this, or do it some
other way?
Urgent help appreciated - I'm stuck!
DW8 | XHTML | CSS

> But can I insert an optional editable region in the
<head>?
Not by way of the DW user interface, no.
But if you have a parameter called optionJS, with a type of
URL, and a
default value of "" (i.e., null), you could have this in your
template
document's head -
@@(optionJS==""?'':'<script src="'+optionJS+'"
type="text/javascript"></script>')@@
Then in each child page, as long as you leave the parameter
alone, no script
tag is written to the head. But to get the script tag, you
would just use
MODIFY | Template Properties, select the optionJS parameter,
and browse to
and select the desired script file, and it'll be there....
