Cube Spin Video transition behavior

Hi,
I see that the cube spin video transition behaves in an odd way. I was wondering if there was a way to alter it.
Here is the behavior:
(example created for clarity)
Clip A (the 1st clip) is nothing but frames (30fps) of a big letter A.
Clip B (the 2nd clip) is nothing but frames (30fps) of a big letter B.
When a cube spin video transition is inserted between them:
As the cube begins to spin to the right you see the letter A on the face that is leaving you as you would expect.
As you begin to see the coming side, it oddly also has the letter A that then changes to the letter B.
Sometimes the leaving A side also changes to the letter B, but not always.
Is it possible to get a behavior where the leaving side is always A and the coming side is always B?
I have the transition centered on +0.
Frame blend and hold do not seem to affect this.
thanks,
fred

Jim,
You are correct.
Enough footage needs to be left before your in-point and after your out-point that looks like you want.
Then the transitions work fine.
thanks very much,
fred

Cube spin transitions create gaps I can't seem to close

Hi,
I'm using cube spin transitions for the closing credits. I'm stuck with three different clips having gaps between the spin and the next credit, and no amount of control + g in the timeline gaps, no amount of snapping, has been able to push the two clips together with this transition. I am using other transitions in other parts of my movie, and have not had any trouble. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what next to try? I suspect that the trouble is with the type of files I'm using for the credits. I'm connecting .psd files with mov files (from LiveType) and using the cube spin transition between them. I know that these have alpha channels and so need to be on a higher line in the timeline than the rest of the movie. But obviously I'm missing something.
Thanks,
Sheila

I think I am cheating when I say that I put transitions on both the endings of one clip, and on the beginning of the next clip for full cube turning.

Missing video transitions in Premiere CS6

Greeting everyone,
It seems that I am missing some 3D motion transition effects in Premiere CS6. I only have Cube Spin and Flip Over, but I know (and have seen) more transitions on other people's installations. I can't seem to find anywhere to download them either. I assumed they came with base CS6, but I don't have them. Where can I download some more? Or how do I restore the ones that I should have?

Cube Spin Transiton Shows Horizonal Blue and White Lines through out Poss BUG?

Don't know if this is a bug but I am seeing a 2 to 5 pixel Blue Line (the same colour as the CTI, CYAN) on the Cube Spin Transition when in use in Premiere Pro CC.
I am on 8.0.1.
I also notice that it appears on the renders and exported material.
Original Sequences are HDV 50i 1440x1080 and abit of 1980 x 1080 @29.97 MP4 Files taken from a Sanyo XACTI Camera.
It is visable when both playing back and scrubbing or parking the CTI inbetween the 2 clips, I am also seeing a White Line not as think at times on the left side of the Transition.
It looks like the Enable Overscan Transition setting that I used to have in EDIUS, where the default settings where set for 3% Overscan and had to be set to 0% for Transitions.
I am using an ASUS 760GTX 4GB Card with MPE On.
Just wondering if there was a quick fix before I go though and have replace this transition with a similar one, though have used it 30+ times in this project so far, am gonna have alook out see if I can see a free Cube Spin/Advance Type Transition on the internet to use as I purposely chose this on
as it fits in well.
anyway, I noticed this Line Appearing thoughout the editing process and thought that it was like Premiere Pro way of tell me that the transition had begun, like the show end of media indicator and not though that it would actually show in the final exports on the render, even on the downscale it shows when rendered to MPEG-2 DVD.
I saw another post on this on here but that dates back to CS 5.5.
I have attached a few grabs to show you. have to look very closely or download them as on whit background, but on the first there is a very thin white line and on the left of the frame and you will see the cyan line on the right a bit thicker
The First one is the very start of the transition, where the CTI hits the 1st Frame of the Transition
. Not on the left a Thin White Line and as Described on the Right the Cyan Slithly Thicker, Looks to be Same or Simialr Colour to The CTI.
Then as the transitions moves, though, the left white line disappears and you have the right Cyan Line Showing all through the transition, until it is completed.
As say, if there is a simple fix, then it would be appreciated so save having to alter all of the existing ones, as I say, kinda like the Cube Spin.

Appols if the attached images are too big, my fault, not used to posting images, anyways, if you click on each image to show full screen then you can see the lines better.
Anyway, anyone know a free one I can add in that works well?
Thanks alot

Changing cube spin direction for multiple dissolves

Can't seem to figure out how to change multiple cube spins on time line from right to left direction . . in other words save the left as a favorite. I change it to left and then tried to copy, duplicate, save as a favorite but it always defaults to right direction.
I'm sure I'm missing something here that will become obvious when replies come in.
thanks . . this forum is a great learning centre

Once you setup the cube spin, drag that spin to the Browser. It should remain as you've set it to be. Then drag it from there to another transition.

Problem with sound, and problem with video transitions

For some reason my audio isnt locked with my video anymore so when I move a clip the audio doesnt follow does anyone know how to fix that?
Also, when I put in video transitions instead of just switching from the first clip to the second clip it flashes an image from other pieces of footage while transitioning and I need to figure out how to fix that too.
Anyone know how to fix these?
thanks

Thanks i got the audio problem fixed.
When I open up final cut it says some of the media has been disconnected but it then says I can't reconnect it or something like that, I don't know if that effects the transitions. I split up a lot of footage and rearranged it and for one of the places where it flashes a clip it shows one of the pieces of footage that I had deleted because it had a glitch and the other places I noticed it it had random clips from throughout the project, like a flash of an interview that happens way later in the film. So it is random clips that are in the film and even clips that I deleted.

I'm having a problem in FCP7 with all video transitions. Every transition has a rolling flicker throughout the effect. What is causing this?

I recently upgraded to FCP7 from FCP6. I am now having an issue in playback with all video transitions. When I add a transition to my video it does not consistently play smoothly. I now appears to have an old "film" like flicker rolling through the effect. Our video was shot on a dslr and brought into FCP with compressor as a prores 422 file. We use magic bullet for our coloring effects which are in place on this video. When I was working on the project in FCP6 I did not have this problem. When the project was complete we upgraded to FCP7. The client has now come back to us wanting additional footage. So I opened the old project up into FCP7 and checked yes to all format updates to meet with FCP7 guidelines. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
For me it looks like conflict with field order (upper, lower - interlaced).
Please, check Your sequence settings, maybe it should be set to "field order NONE" if Your source is progressive.
Next thing You could check:
in Your timeline with bad transitions look into "Effecs tab" - maybe FCP 7 added "shift field filter +/-1" after opening FCP 6 project.
In general - try to keep sequence settings same as source settings.

Sound with video transitions.

Hey, I'm using DVD Studio Pro 3 and I have a video transition for a button between a menu and a track. Now, the video I am using for the transition has sound, however there is not sound in the transition on the dvd.
Can you not have sound, or is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks.

No probs.
What you need to do is make a video that looks like one menu is transitioning to the next. Let's say Menu 1 is a .psd (photoshop file) and Menu 2 is a different .psd. Take these files into FCP (or another editing program), perform your groovey transition from Menu 1 to Menu 2, lay your audio underneath it, then export as a .mov, or if you're happy using compressor export it as a .m2v and .ac3
Then bring your new video into DVDSP and place it into a new menu, lets call it Menu 1>2 (you could also place into a Track but in menus all the User Operations are already disabled).
Now, with the button that takes you from Menu 1 to Menu 2, remove the transition that you had chosen from the button inspector and simply make the target fro the button the new menu Menu 1>2, when this plays it will look just like your Menu 1 but it will play the transition you have created with the audio, then set the end jump of this menu to Menu 2. You don't put any buttons or anything into Menu 1>2, its just there as a bridge between Menu 1 and Menu 2, and there you have it.
The up side of this is that you won't get long pause that DVDSP often has when using the preset transitions. The downside is you need to create all your menu transitions this way if you're using audio which can be a lot of work if you're moving between a lot of menus and submenus.
I hope that makes sense - if not, let me know which bits are foggy.
Cheers

Can't change default video transition duration in PRE7 project

I couldn't find the solution for the following problem. In one of my Premiere Elements 7 projects, suddenly the video transition default duration changed from 30 frames to 3 frames. After inserting this 3 frames long transition, I can adjust it (expanding or shrinking) in the timeline, change the duration via the "Edit Transition" dialog box, however there is no way I can change the default duration. I can change the duration value in the Edit > Preferences > General dialog box but it has no effect on the actual duration. This is true for all transitions. On the other hand, the other projects (I checked a few), also a new project work properly: In them, the default duration is 30 frames, and I can set it in the Properties dialog box to any other value. So, this problem appears to be project specific. I hope somebody can help me, so I do not have to redo this particular project. Thanks in advance, Laci.

Steve, This is the same camcorder I have been using the last five years. Other projects from footages taken the same time are working fine. Also, I just created a 'new' (test) project from the same clips (many clips, about 25 minutes, several bmp pictures in it) - and it also works fine! It must be some very peculiar feature of that particular project, and I do not think it is worth to spend more time with it. I just thought that it might have happened with somebody else and there is a known solution. I consider this issue closed, thanks for the help. Laci. (PS: I also have an insignificant problem: I uploaded my picture to my preferences page here a couple of months ago, set it to be displayed but it does not appear. Who could help with this? Thanks.)

How can I set a video transition at a default length ?

I want to set the length of a video transition at a 2 second default. How can I do this /

Depending upon the version, Edit > Preferences >....."
Only transitions applied after the change will be affected.

16:9 Video Transition

I created a 16:9 video menu, and I also created a 16:9 video transition. I can set the menu to 16:9 but I can't figure out how to set the video transition to 16:9. When I view the transition it fills the screen from left to right, but it is vertically squashed. How can I get it to fill out the screen from top to bottom?
Thanks
Vince

I had the setings wromg when I exported.
