DIP to BLACK Transition
I'm using Premiere Pro 5.02 on a new i7 system with 12 GB of RAM and a GTX 470 graphics ard. Generally, everything is working fairly well.
However, when I choose the DIP to BLACK transition, the Mecury Playback Engine comes to a halt and playback across the transition stalls or stops entirely.
Has anyone else had problems with this transition?

Transition (Dip to Black) while using Track Matte
I have used Trace Matte to hide faces in a sequence. In order to do more than one person the sequence includes multiple Matte Tracks.
When I use the dip to black transition I am getting a fade to black and also seeing the mosaic then it goes to the next sequence. making the transition jerky.
If I remove all of the dip to black transitions that sequences all cleanly change.
Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.Using transitions on multiple stacked clips can lead to some unwanted results, since you're changing the opacity of multiple layers at once, instead of en masse. Nesting would work, but then you'd need to extend the footage in your nests to create handles.
The simple way to do it is to create a piece of Black Video (File > New > Black Video), add it on a track above the transition point, and then create opacity animation up and down on it, or just add cross dissolves. The result is a dip to black that will not change the opacity of the underlying layers--it's fading black in and out over the layers. -
Dip to Black Video Transitions
I have a problem with the "VIdeo Transitions/Dissolve/Dip to Black". That is, the sequence after rendering played on Premiere CS3 looks fine, but once built with Encore into a folder, and viewed on the computer and on a TV, the transitions are not smooth, they look "noisy", or rather the passage to or from the black is "blochy" not smooth.
Your input as to how I can remedy this problem will be greatly appreciated.OK everybody,
I have toiled with this problem, bult on disk, on image then on disk via ImgBurn, according to the advise I was given, could not get rid of this problem. Then I went back to Premiere, I created a black slide and used cross-dissolve just in case....I searched the Premiere forum as well the Encore forum, could not locate any similar problems.....I tried different methods, but whenever a "black" is involved I do not get smooth transitions. Can somebody give me a clue please All my clips are DV avi captured in Premiere, all the slides are made via Photoshop NTSC-preset.
I have a problem with the dip to black transition on my computer and on the DVD, although the movie created with Premiere CS3 plays fine on my computer.
The slides are fine, they don`t flicker, cross-dissolve is very smooth, it is only the dip to black in any shape or form that is not smooth. Maybe the word "flicker" is inappropriate, pardon my English, I don`t know how else to say it. It is just that the transition to and from black is not smooth, all else is perfect.
I will appreciate any clues,ideas, comments or whatever else...
Thanks

Dip to White Transition and Shadow / Highlight creates flickering. Workaround?
Here's what my layers look like:
Top
- Adjustment Layer including MANUAL Shadow / Highlight with some static values -
- video clip 1 - dip to white - video clip 2 - dip to white - video clip 3 - etc... -
Bottom
When it renders, there is a discoloration and a flicker on every single transition. This does NOT happen with the dip to black transition.
I believe what's happening is that the Shadow/Highlight is doing its thing on the transition itself. S/H continually tries to bring out detail in the highlights as the frame is being whited out. What there SHOULD be is an option for Shadow/Highlight to only be applied to video clips but ignore any transitions that are applied to the clips.
I do NOT want to drag Shadow/Highlight into each clip separately because the settings for it are way easier to manage in one adjustment layer than in 50+ individual clip settings.
Does anyone have a good, efficient workaround for this?.the Shadow/Highlight is doing its thing on the transition itself.
Adjustment layers work on everything below, so yes, that's precisely what's happening.
there SHOULD be is an option for Shadow/Highlight to only be applied to video clips but ignore any transitions that are applied to the clips.
There is. Apply the effect to the clip, rather than to an Adjustment Layer. It's the only way, regardless of effect, because like I said, adjustment layers work on everything below. (That's kind of their purpose.) -
Can't add dip to black to a clip
I have created 3 different sequences, and placed a clip into each one. I went into #s 1 and 2, and added a dip to black transition to the end of the clip in each. When I went to #3, I was unable to add the dip to the clip in there. Dragging the transition to the clip on the timeline gave me a had with a circle + slash. Double clicking the transition wit hteh clip selected did nothing. The layer is not locked. What could be going on?
Yes. It looks like I may have encountered a bug. I'm running CS5 under Mountain Lion. I had googled to see if there were any known issues, but everything seemed to say they were compatible with no problems. I have also noticed a similarly weird issue on the UI of another application.

TROUBLE WITH DIP TO BLACK IN AFTER EFFECTS CS5
i finished editing a music video in premiere pro c5 then i used after effects & my cross dissolve transitions are in there but my dip 2 black isnt showing up i can see it in the composition but i cant see the effect as i watch my clip is it a bug or sumthen? also i had 2 use cs 5.5 after effects just to see my cross dissolves i read it was a bug but i really need this question about dip to black transition any help thanks.........
Your question isn't clear. Are you using After Effects CS5 or CS5.5?
What exactly are you seeing and what are you doing?
I'm going to guess about how to interpret your post and point you to this thread about a bug in After Effects CS5 and a workaround for it:

That bug is fixed in After Effects CS5.5. -
Dip to Black - start at 50%
I always start my fade ins at 50% and end with 100%. Meaning it gradually transitions from black to the clip throughout the entirety of the transition selection. By default, Premiere sets the fade in at 0% and ends at 100%, hereby making it black for the first half of the clip then transitions into the clip.
The problem is that even though I start the transition at 50%, the clip still remains at total black until halfway through the transition, hereby ignoring my controls. In fact, if I set it to start at 50% and end at 50%...it still plays the default transition.
Is this a glitch I need to live with? Basically I'm having to double my transition sizes to compensate, which is silly. Any advice?Ann,
What you're witnessing is not the glitch; that's actually correct in how Dip to Black should work. The Start and End values are not degrees/percentages of opacity, but are rather the percent of "completeness" of the transition. Since Dip to Black goes from 0% opacity to 100% opacity back to 0% opacity (relative to black, not the outgoing or incoming video), 50% in the transition completion SHOULD be 100% black. Here's a graphic representation (I didn't have time to paint it or build it to scale):
The white represents 0% opacity of the black of the transition, where the black represents 100% opacity. Think of the transition as a black solid that has the duration of the transition. By default, the transition starts with 0% opacity of that black solid, ramps up to 100% opacity halfway through, and then ramps back down to 0%. That's why, typically, if you start the transition at 50% (as the OP is doing) you are effectively creating a fade from black. By it's nature, Dip to Black (or White) is a double-sided transition, and therefore requires this reassignment of the Start or End value to achieve the effect.
Personally, I would never use Dip to Black for this purpose, even if it worked correctly with hardware MPE, as it's just too fiddly. However, regardless of the practicality of the technique, it does reveal an issue with hardware MPE.
To the OP: as Craig (shooternz) suggests, the following creates a fade of multiple layers without altering each individual layers transparency (which is a common issue, since a lot of people just throw dissolves on each layer to fade in/out): -
Any suggestions for 3rd party plugins for Cross Dissolve, Film Dissolve & Dip to Black
I am using Cross Dissolve, Film Dissolve & Dip to Black on a premiere project (CS5.5 on Mac).
The results aren't smooth - between some clips, there's a banding on the clip.

I've imported a video from my MotionPro HD camera which is 720P and set the project up accordingly. My issue is whenever i put a dip to black it jitters, or studders, when going to and from black. I've tried several things to alleviate the problem but no such luck. I have seen posts where the bitrate was too low to accomplish the dip but my source video is 15mbs so that seems to be way above what others had. I have tried to change the dip length as well with no luck.
*Edit*
Dip to black works flawless if i cut a video and insert the transition but if i have 2 different video segments that are in different spots in my timeline and put them together with a dip to black between them it fails and jitters. I hope I'm explaining this properly.Video

"Fade to black" transition without handles ?
Is there any method to do a "fade to black" transition without handles in FCP 6 ?
Like in iMovie for example. Maybe with another Pro App?
Many Thanks.Have the Fade to Black end at the end of the clip, not in the middle. Notice when you drag transitions onto clips how you can make it end on the cut, be in the middle of the cut, or start at the cut.

How do I add a 5 second black transition?
How do I add 5 seconds of black frame to the beginning of my clip without covering up my video? I was wanting the "fade to black" transition, but wanted the black to last longer. I am using Premiere Elements 12. I thought about taking a picture of some black paper, but there has to be a better way. Thanks!
Why not just fade to black and then add a 3 to 5 second black segment betwen it and your fade in from black?
Black video segments can be created by selecting New Item, under the Panel Options in the upper right of the Media Assets panel.
For more information on these kinds of basics, have a look at my free 8 part Basic Training tutorials at Muvipix.com. They're a great way to get up and running with the program!

Problems with fade to black transition and photoalbum themed titles
I keep having trouble with the titles in the photo album theme. When I use a fade to black transition and then try to use one of the top 4 titles available under the photos theme it seem like I have to move the title part of the way into the new clip or the fade to black transition just does not happen. It looks OK but the title come up after the new clip has been playing for several seconds and doesn't look as smooth. Any ideas?
One option is to create a "freeze frame" on the first frame of the new clip. Add your Photo Album title to the beginning of the new clip. Insert a fade to black transition between the preceding clip and the freeze frame. You may need to fiddle with the duration of both the freeze frame and the transition in order to get the timing right. Now, as the fade to black finishes you will see a short still segment just prior to the title commencing, as if the freeze frame is coming to life, so to speak. It looks quite effective, depending of course on the video content.
To add a freeze frame, right-click (or Control-click) on the appropriate frame, then select "Add Freeze Frame" from the pop-up menu. It's easier if you first move the thumbnail slider (lower right corner of the Projects window) to the half second mark, giving you a close-up view of your clips.

hi
i make a movie with "PiP" and i would like to apply a " Dip to White" transition which will affect only on the "PiP".
i really cant find a way to apply it to the "PiP".
thanks for helpingHere is an example of what can be done.
The two images are on their own sequence so that I could dip to white between them. Also, it made it easier to use the corner pin effect to put the image on the iPhone. I did have to rotate the image sequence 90 degrees before I used the corner pin.
For the titles, I chose to go a different way. Since the background I was putting the text on is white, it was easier to just set the titles where I wanted them using the Motion effect's position and scale parameters and then dissolve to nothing and dissolve from nothing. That nothing being white, of course. Otherwise, a different sequence could have been used for the titles too.
Edit: This is what the timeline looks like.
If this is what you had in mind, and you have any additional questions, please let me know. I can put little tutorial together if necessary. -
Video playback in Keynote has random dip to black at start of videos
I've assembled a string of Quicktime videos in Keynote, which was composed on my desktop and imported into the iPad through iTunes. Usually the first or second video begins with a quick dip to black before it starts. These are 768 x 1024 videos I compressed with Quicktime through lots of experimentation to work with iPad. Thinking that might be the problem, I put together a file using videos that were compressed using iTunes with the Apple TV setting recommended for iPad. The flashes of black still occurred.

GTX 680: Screen dips to black
Does anyone have a similar exsperience with the GTX 680, 4Gb card:
1. When scrubbing, the image in the composition windows will frequently dip to black momentarily - leaving only the layer wireframe placeholders - as though it's having difficulty keeping up with the demands made upon it.
2. When adding/removing nodes to a mask using the pen tool, the image dips to black for a second or so after each node is added/deleted - leaving visible only the mask path.
This was not a feature of the recently removed Quadro FX3800, 1GB card.
I have tried various preview modes - but to no avail.
It's irritating to say the lease!
Thanks.Yes I am, Dave, thanks, and no it's not that.
Preview mode is set to adaptive resolution and the timeline updates as I scrub, but intermittently the content across all layers will cut out visually for a second or so - showing only the coloured inverted "V" image place markers. The image returns the moment I stop scrubbing.
I would expect the image to pixellate to a lower resolution whilst scrubbing - if it can't update fast enough - but it doesn't appear to do so.
Also, this doesn't explain the behaviour when using the pen tool (oultined above)....
As I said, this was not a Quadro FX3800 issue.
As an aside, In Adobe Forums, the text entry panel on my PC has started to display in Times Roman all of a sudden, but changes to the correct display font when posted. It's fine on my Laptop and iPad.
