Default Video Transition

Is it possible to change your default video transition?

You can save a transition you want to use a lot as a "Favorite" and then it is easily accessible for frequent use.

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.

Video transition default

Every now and then, I will insert a video transition like cross fade or fade out and it will automatically default to an extremely short transition (usually 00:00:00;15). I will try to change it manually but it will not allow me. I try to change transition type and it still does it. This happens in virtually every movie I do but it happens randomly (as far as I can tell) about 10% of the time. Otherwise all transitions default to 00:00:01;00.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

It is happening because you don't have enough handles on the one of the video clips where you are adding the transition. If you are adding a 30 framer centered on the cut you need 15 frames of "unseen" video, or handles, on the incoming or outgoing of the clip to give the transition something to work with. Try to slip the clips a bit to get those handles and it'll work.

How to apply audio and video transitions automatically when drop multiple clips to timeline?

If I remember OK, in previos versions of Premiere it was possible to Drag multiple Clips from project area to timeline, and apply automatically audio/video transitions.
It was possible to configure how many video frames will be overlapped to do a default transitions (and for audio, also).
Is it possible in Premiere CS6 to do the same thing ? Leave me a link to documentation, or a hint, how to get this thing done.
I have searched over the documentation, but i have not found.
Thanks for hints.

I believe the feature you're referring to is Automate to Sequence. In CS6, it was in the Project Menu; for those using CC, it is in the Clip Menu.

Adding video transitions

I am using the default 1 second fade in fade out video transition. I was able to successfully do one transition but now it will not repeat the process. I have enough footage"handles" on either end of the clips to support it but it will only add a fade in transition. I have tried the transition in a different location but it still wont work. I don't think I'm not doing anything differently than I did first time around. What's the deal?

Try this...press the 's' key, then click on and hold both of the clips you're trying to add the transition to. You should see a 'ghost image' of any available media before or after the end of the clip.
If one of the clips doesn't show extra media available, then that's the problem.
If this shows both clips with plenty of media (handles), then you should tell us what format your working with and any other details that might help us help you.

IMovie default all transitions off?

Hi everbody!
Is there any way to default all transitions off when adding new clips? Why are the clips I add to the timeline shortened by at least three seconds? For example, a seven second clip shows up as six seconds in the clip selection list. Then when I add the clip the timeline it shortens the clip to four seconds. So then I turn off the transitions because I don't want them in the first place. Then when I try to expand the clip (make longer back to seven seconds)it shortens the clip by another second down to three. I do not want transitions and I want my full clips in the video, is there anything I can do?

Double tap your transition and select "None".
This will preserve the most amount of video.
With most video editing software the beginning & end of every clip are susceptible to loosing a few frames.

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.

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

I use safari 3.0.4
When it accesses sites containing video, it plays it in Flash (eg YouTube)
How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
any solution?
Thank you
Elizabeth

RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
You can get it here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

How do I stop iTunes from being my default video player

I have a slightly older Macbook Pro, on OSX 10.5.8. I have a bunch of video files on a wireless networked hard drive and the directory mapped to my desktop for easy access. I also have VLC installed for video playback. All the files are *.m4v.
Here is the problem. When I click to open one of these files it starts copying the whole file over the network to my iTunes, and insisting on opening from iTunes. If I click on File -> Open With -> it shows iTunes as the default. I can click on File -> Open With -> VLC and this works just fine.
But how do I change the default video player? All I want to do is stream it over my internal home network, I don't want copy the darn file every time I want to play something.
Thanks

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?

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
