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?.

Adjustment layers work on everything below, so yes, that's precisely what's happening.

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.)

Dip To White Transition

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 helping

Here 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 jerks a bit after dip to white transitions?

I noticed that even before exporting, and viewing in Premiere, that after any dip to white happens, the very next frame of video jerks a bit. Doesnt happen in dissolves.. Happens on either still images or video. Any clues?

White Screen and Shadows

When I have a totally white window on my 30" cinema display and I move it across the desktop, I tend to notice some light shadows that quickly disappear. Do others have this with there monitor? I noticed it happens on my Dell flat screen at work as well. However, some monitors seem worse than others. Is this something that is considered a problem? Or is it normal?

This is the liquid crystal response time. It is normal. There is a molecule that has to twist and untwist in response to appled voltage in order to shutter the backlight to create different perceived levels of color and brightness. The twisting action has a finite speed measured in milliseconds. This is what you are seeing. Your eye is faster than the response time of the LC twist. You are right that some displays are better than others in this regard. Also normal and to be expected.

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.

Can I edit 'Dip to White'

I am using the 'Dip to White' transition.
Can I edit it so that it starts 100% white and the fades out or do I have to live with the fade in then out?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the follow up.
As always, good to give Premiere Elements/computer info with questions.
In Premiere Elements versions earlier than 11, one would double click the transition placed on the Timeline and the Transitions Adjustments area would appear, presenting the opportunity to do that 50% setting for A as I suggested.
But, in Premiere Elements 11, there is a bit of a twist in getting to that A and B set. As you found out (good work), after you place the transition, you get an automatic pop up which appears to target transition alignment, not the A B sets. But, if you click the "More" button seen toward the bottom right of that pop up, you see a fuller Transitions Adjustments area which includes the A B set opportunities.
Automatic Pop Up With Placement of Transition
Expaned Transition Adjustments area after "More" is clicked on in the intitial pop up.
Glad that you are moving forward in your Premiere Elements projects.

Aperture to export photos either TIFF or JPEG files, highlight and shadow transition has obvious faults, this problem solved!?

What problem?
You will have to be _a lot_ more specific if you'd like responsible feedback.
I export thousands of TIFF and JPG files a week with no obvious faults.

Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?

Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?
Because in some cases, let's say, night scene, usually has many black pixels in the sky. Which perform nice contrast against the colorful signs.
Please check the attached image for reference(01.tif).
I know there's nothing in the sky, so I would like to keep all the pixels to be clipped. Is this right?
Some of my students says that other instructors told them to keep all the pixels in the histogram.
But I tell them it depands on how would you like your images to show. Am I correct?
As the attached image, it's impossible to pull the black pixels back to the histogram and I think it's acceptable in this case.
Let's see the 2nd case(02.tif), this image has highlight clipping in the clouds.
I like the way this image looks, which looks like a watercolor painting.
If I pull the white pixels back, the image will change a lot and I will get a very dark overall.
My question is, is it that important to keep your images without having highlight or shadow clipping?
This is not apply to any image, right???
THANK YOU

For a more in depth discussion of clipping, it should be noted that clipping can occur in either the raw file or the rendered white balanced file. In the latter, it can take the form of luminosity clipping or saturation clipping. Saturation clipping occurs when the chosen color space is too small to accommodate saturated colors at a high luminance. In ACR, saturation clipping is indicated by a colored line or shoulder at the right of the histogram. The remedy is to use a larger color space. Luminosity clipping in ACR is indicated by a white line or shoulder at the right of the histogram and the remedy is to adjust exposure or use highlight recovery.
Examination of the OP's histogram shows a yellow line at the right, indicative of saturation clipping of the red and green channels. The OP could try a wider space such as ProPhotoRGB.
Here is an image of a a flower rendered into sRGB using the ACR defaults and the Adobe Standard camera profile. It appears overexposed and the yellows (actually reds and greens) are clipped as indicated by the yellow line at the right of the histogram.
The raw histogram (produced by Rawnalize) shows that the image is well exposed. The red and green channels are just short of clipping. The image appears overexposed with ACR, since ACR uses a baseline exposure offset for the Nikon D3.
However, when white balance is applied for this daylight exposure, the red channel is multiplied by approximately 2.21, and this should result in clipping of the red channel. This did not work exactly as expected with ACR, so I used Iris (a freeware astronomical program which allows extensive control of the conversion process) and examined the histogram of the resulting image in Photoshop. Note that the green channel is just short of clipping, as expected and that the red channel is clipped.
To avoid clipping with the white balance in ACR, it is necessary to use negative exposure to offset the red white balance multiplier. I chose to use a bit of highlight recovery as well to tone down the highlights while maintaining a pleasing value for the midtones. Here is the resulting preview with rendering into ProPhotoRGB.
In this case, I was able to avoid clipping. However, when the image is printed or viewed on a display with a limited gamut, some clipping would undoubtedly occur.

Adjusting highlights, midtones and shadows

1.) When working with the Dodge tool or other similar tools in Photoshop that have options for selecting to work with midtones, does this mean that it will not lighten the light areas or the dark areas?
2.) And if shadows are selected will it only work with a dark area?
3.) And if highlights are selected it will only work with light areas?
Thanks in advance.

That has been my experience. It will have no effect on totally black or totally white areas, but does a good job to a point. The thing is, You must have SOMETHING to work with. I back up my originals to a separate hard drive. I can then do anything I want to the download and as long as I don't "Save" the result of my tinkering, I will always have the original to fall back on. I work on the background to make changes in the shadows. (Usually increasing exposure) Then go to the top copy and erase the parts I want to lighten. Then flatten the image, resize, and save for the web.
Hope this helps.

Highlights and Shadows Adjustment Panel

Hi
Since upgrading to 3.3.1 yesterday, I have lost the Advanced segment of the Highlights and Shadows adjustment panel.
It will show up on photos which had been previously edited using this segment, but not on photos which have not been edited.
Photos are on an external drive.
Any fixes?

See Kirby Krieger's Thread:
How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
Basically you use an image, that still has the Version 3.2 Highlights & Shadows adjustments and create an adjustment preset (effect) from this image. Then you can use the advanced controls again for all images.

Purchasing transitions (and/or creating ones in Motion)

I'm going to be doing a lot of work for a pretty straight-forward interview type TV show that is looking to spice up its transitions and are open to the idea of purchasing some to go beyond what FCP includes. I was looking at the ones from Eiperle and Eureka (both of which look good, are affordable, and can be used on multiple computers) and Sapphire. I'm wondering A) if there are others I should look into and B) which people recommend for what is essentially an Entertainment Tonight style show.
Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to create transitions in Motion that can be dropped into FCP (or better yet, if the templates, such as the 'frames/glass' one, can be saved without elements and dropped into FCP as a transition between clips)
Thanks for your help!

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

Preview highlight and shadow clipping mask in second monitor

Hi, I'm new in the forum and just starting with the new LR3. I have a question about to preview highlight and shadow clipping in the second monitor, becouse I can't check the mask clipping in my second monitor as in the LR2... Is there a possibility to change it to preview the mask in the second monitor?
Thanks and regards
Daniel

Yeah, thanks.... but I mean that when you are in develop mode and you try to see the highlight or black clipping mask, red or blue, now in LR3 only appears in the main monitor, not in the second monitor as well like in LR2... Maybe I'm not explaining very well the difference...

Form that is a map of Ohio. I created layers for each county so I can click and it highlights, but I need to be able to click more than one. How do I do that?

Looks nice!
I understand what you've done now. You used the "Set Layer Visibility" command which sets the on/off state of all the layers at once. What you need is a more subtle approach, one that will only change the state of the specific layer associated with the button, not the rest of them (so that you could have multiple layers enabled at the same time). The way to do that is by using a script.
I wrote the script for you and applied it to the top-left counties (WILLIAMS and FULTON), in the attached file. You can now copy the actions I associated with those buttons to the rest of them, and it should work as you want it to.
