Dip to color in and EDL

Has anyone found a solution for the dip to color error when an edl is created? Instead of creating two edits, a dissolve to color (i.e AX or GEN) and then a second edit going from color back to footage, it creates one edit dissolving between the two footage sources. The dissolve rate is usually correct, but you still have to rebuild the edit from scratch. Any help here would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunately talking the FCP editor into doing this is not an option. Avid used to have the same problem, and they fixed it. I'm hping FCP will do the same.

Dip to color dissolve question

Hi,
I am using a dip to color dissolve between clips, dipping to white. My problem is that the pillarbox lines are also dipping. Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks.

The good thing about nesting though is that you can adjust the clips in the original sequence and then they'll update in the nest.

Dip to color effect in 16:9

Can anyone help? I am editing in widescreen, but when I add the dip to color (I'm using white as the color), the black areas above and below the video dip to white also. (Perhaps the problem is that I need to change the "canvas size" to 16:9??? I don't know much about this). Is there a way to have the effects apply only to the actual video portion, and not to the black areas above and below the video?
Note: When I'm editing, I generally see the video as widescreen, with black bars at top and bottom. Maybe I need to change something in the settings???
Thanks!

Okay, Tom. I'm learning as I go here. I've never even thought about any "properties" of either items or sequences before. I just manage to get it into the computer and edit. Thanks for enlightening me! I just checked:
The sequence properties are:
Vid rate: 29.97 fps
Frame size: 720 x 480
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
Field Dominance: lower (even)
Audio Rate: 48.0 KHz
Audio Format: 32-bit Floating Point
The item properties are:
HDD:AVCHD
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Frame size: 1920 x 1080
Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec
Data Rate: 15.5 MB/sec
Pixel Aspect: square
Field Dominance: upper (odd)
Audio Rate: 48.0 KHz
Audio Format: 16-bit integer
My options for "Preset Sequence Settings" (as you likely already know) are:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30
DV NTSC 32 kHz
DV NTSC 32 kHz Anamorphic
DV NTSC 48 kHz
DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic
(the rest are PAL, which I know aren't what I want/need)
Is there a best setting for me (from the list above)? Or, do I need to make several changes to my system settings? Any advice you can offer will be reeeeeally appreciated!
Thanks Tom!

Dip to Color transition with graphic

I'm using a Dip to Color Dissolve transition between a black screen and a graphic that has colored text with a black background. When using the transition, I get the flash of white color, as intended, but the outline of the graphic is visibile. Dragging along the timeline, I found that this was because the graphic, centered in the screen, changes color more slowly than the rest of the empty space around, making it so that you can see the square outline of the image during the transition.
Is there a way to fix it so that the graphic and the background change color throughout the transition at the same time, making it clean and unable to see the outline of the graphic?
My apologies if the explanation is somewhat confusing, I'd be happy to clarify if necessary! Thanks!

One way is to insert a Slug.
Click the little A button in the Viewer and select.
Transitions in FCE require Media Handles to be associated with clips to work like Dip to Colour. Search this forum for more info on Media Handles.

Saving custom 'Dip to Color Dissolve'... how?

Hello all,
I'm stumped here. It seems I can customize several dissolves and video transitions/filters, but can never get to save my 'Dip to Color Dissolve' to white (instead of the default black).
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Matt

Once you've changed the default settings for the transition in the Viewer window, you should be able to drag it into your Favorites folder in the Browser. Once that's done, it may help to give the "favorite" version a new name (like 'Dip to White") so you can easily identify it from the original.

Dip to Color Dissolve + Widescreen Matte

Forum,
When my Dip to Color Dissolve comes in my black bars (wide screen matte) are trumped by the dissolve.
I'm looking for a way to keep the bars all the way through the end of the Dip to Color Dissolve.
No such luck yet.
Thanks to anyone that can help,
Trey

Cross Dissolve, Dip to Color not working

Hello. I am having trouble applying Cross Dissolve and Dip to Color to the transition between to separate clips. It works fine when I am transitioning between two clips originating from the same raw captured file (e.g. between two pieces I cut out of Raw 1), but I am unable to apply the transition to two clips from separate raw files (e.g. between a piece of Raw 1 and a piece of Raw 2).
The timeline only allows me to place the transition just AFTER the cut between the two clips, rather than straddling the two for a smooth fade. Any idea why this might be? Thanks in advance for your help.

Enough handles?
#1 Transitions "Insufficient Content"
Shane's Stock Answer #1:
You need to make sure that your clips have enough media (called 'handles') at the beginning of the incoming clip and at the end of the outgoing clip for the transition. For example, if you have a 1 second (30 frame) dissolve, your in and out point need to be at least 15 frames from the edge of the clip.
What you are running into is that you are marking an out point at the end of a clip then adding a cross dissolve, say 20 frames in duration. Since the dissolve is centered on the cut, it will start 10 frames before the cut, and try to go 10 frames AFTER the cut...which it can't do.
What you need to do is plan how long your dissolve will be and back-time your cut so that it works.
a full 1 second crossfade reaches 15 frames into each clip. So, if you want to change a cut to a crossfade, there has to be at least 15 additional frames of each clip.
Say you're trying to crossfade from one clip into the very first frame of a second clip. FCP cannot 'create' 15 more frames of the second clip to do a crossfade. If they're not there, you're out of luck.
FCP has to extend the end of your first clip by 1/2 of your transition length, and the beginning of your second clip by 1/2 of your transition length, so those frames need to be in your system. The nature of a crossfade is mixing two clips together.

Bug in FCP 5's dip to color dissolve with text?

Dear all, I'd likle to know if this is a genuine bug or some problem with our setting/system that we haven't yet figured out.
The problem appears when a dip to color dissolve is applied a text clip.
The symptom is what looks like compression artifacts appearing around the text as it dissolves. It is noticeable with normal text but looks really bad with drop shadow applied. It renders this transition unusable and it's a problem as it's part of our show's regular style. It can be worked around but this is not good enough for a pro broadcast application...
We are running FCP 5.0.1 on a dual 2.7ghz G5 with OS X 10.3.9 and working in DV PAL.
Any help appreciated

Welcome to the discussions, Robert. Do you have your rendering set to Fast (linear)? There was/is a bug that causes problems if it is set to medium or high.

Masking a Transition (dip to color)

I want to have several images "pop" onto the screen with a dip to white transition. I have four different images scaled down each making up 1/4 of the screen. Now I want to change images with the "flash" transition (I set the dip to color transition to white with a duration of 5 frames) and the images will change in a rotating fashion. However, I only want the image to pop with white rather than all four pictures. Is there a way to restrict the white pop to the scaled down image only rather than covering the entire screen?
Thanks beforehand.

you could create a white color matte, set it for your duration of 5 frames, scale it to the size of the clip you want to change, and simply put it above that clip on the timeline. use the rubber bands to change the opacity rather than the stock transition.

Problems with using the 'Dip to Color' dissolve

On a short project we decided to use the dip to color dissolve. We wanted the scene to desolve to white and selected the color without problems, however, on applying the dissolve it goes to white as intended but then dissoleves to black halfway through the transition. We should like this to stay white and then fade to the the next scene from white.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Regards,
Tom

Well too me it looked ok, but I have now adopted a work around - by using opoacity over a white background on a lower track which produced the desired result.
Thanks for getting back to me - I shall explore this transition/dissolve further some other time.
Regards,
Tom

Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
please help!

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.

Where are the scanner mode (color, black and white) saved on a windows 7 machine?

We have 30+ Canon 2580c scanners and the users are constantly changing to color scanning and forgetting to change it back to black and white.
I'm trying to figure out where these settings are saved. I have compared full registry dumps before and after changing the mode but do not see any differences that look scanner related. There is a file setscan.ini the appdata/roaming/isis drivers folder that gets the date modified updated each time but nothing is changed in the file.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mswalter2012.
I will be glad to assist you. When using the CapturePerfect program, I recommend using the [Scan Job] setting. There are two jobs already registered in the program.. You can select [Color Document], which is 24-bit color as Simplex 300 dpi, or [Binary Document], which is black and white as Simplex 200 dpi. To create a new job, please follow the instructions below:
1. Select [Create/Delete Job] in the scan menu.
2. Select a number to register a job, and then click [Create/Edit].
3. Enter a title for the job.
4. Click the drop-down for [Function] and select where you want the scan to be sent.
5. Click [Detail Settings].
6. Click the [OK] or [Save] button to close the settings.
7. Click [OK] to close the [Create/Edit] window.
To scan using the saved scanned job, select [Scan Job] from the CapturePerfect file menu.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask?

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask in the layer panel when creating shape layers with a shape tool? I'm just curious when locking or unlocking the solid color layer and its vector mask can make a difference.

I don't understand what you said and your shape layer looks different then mine using CS5.
When the chain is deselected, I can't do anything with the move tool on the shape layer. This is the only difference I can find. Making the solid color uniform or not doesn't change anything.
Your example shows that you moved the position of the solid color, how did you do that? I can create a solid color layer and change its uniform look by applying an effect like gradient but I can't move the solid color itself around. How is this possible?
