FCP auto add audio transition

This is the second time this has happened. I've upgraded to Final Cut Pro 7. Something is triggering an auto-add transition to every audio sequence on my timeline. The only way to avoid it is to click undo until it goes away. With a huge deadline tomorrow I have already pressed undoe a 100 times but it will still not go away. Auto-save goes back 3 hours ago with this preset still on. This means I am doomed to erase each transition individually on a show with many tracks.
I haven't figured out how to disable this new feature and need help to avoid this mess in the future.
Thanks for listening.

I have not run into the issue and it could be something in the preferences that I have not used, you may want to post over in the [Final Cut Pro Forums|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=939]. When you say this is triggering auto-add, what exactly are you doing? Setting in/out points then these appear or somehow they are just appearing randomly (in time without you touching anything?)
There are various ways to add transitions across a range of clips, so perhaps you are doing that? When you said this is the second time, what did you do o correct the problem the first time, delete the preferences?

    Try deleting the preferences file in the evven it has become corrupted and is causing this to occur...

  • Can you use audio transitions if you forgot to add handles??

    SO i completely forgot to add handles and i was wondering if you can still SOMEHOW add in audio transitions if you can how do you do it!?? SIGGHHH and also what's the best time limit to have for handles or does it depend on what you want?

    As it says in the *FCP User Manual (III-374):*
    Clips must have handles if you want to transition between them.
    In order to get some handles, you will need to trim your clips. Read the manual section on rolling, it is a very helpful tool to understand.

  • How can i add a transition to video when using pinned audio without loosing sync

    Everytime i try to add a transition to my video after adding audio from an external source the audio becomes unsync,( it doesn't matter if i pinn the audio or not) any solutions or worked around?
    I'm using Imovie 11.

    Try this...
    Click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/HALF. This will maintain project duration.
    Normal transitions take half the frames they need from each adjacent clip.
    If you choose HALF, it will take the frames needed for the transitions from the unused portion of your event clips. For this to work correctly, you will need to have unused frames available in each clip. If your project clip uses the frames all the way to the beginning or end of the event clip, there would be no frames to borrow. You also need to make sure that there is no embarassing footage in the unused frames that will be now used in the transitions.  If you carefully edited out Aunt Judy picking her nose, these frames of Aunt Judy may show up in the transition, if they are adjacent to a project clip with a transition.
    There are good diagrams explaining this in iMovie/Help.

  • I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

    Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

    Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

    Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

  • How to add multiple audio transitions

    I know how to add multiple video transitions to a whole series of clips, but I want to add a cross fade to every audio clip in the sequence....how can I do this if at all, or is it not possible? Thanks

    I'm suspecting that you don't have the destination tabs set correctly when you drag the audio clips to the canvas overlays.
    Destination & Source tabs are the tabs located at the left side of the timeline. When you want to add audio cross fades to your audio clips, do the following:
    1. Set the played at the beginning of the sequence.
    2. Click the video source tab to disconnect it from the video track.
    3. Verify that the audio source tabs are connected to the audio tracks that you want the audio edited to.
    4. Select your audio clips.
    5. Drag the selected audio clips to the Overwrite with Transition overlay in the canvas.

  • HELP!!!! Imovie is not allowing me to add any transitions, audio, or titles

    HELP!!!! Imovie is not allowing me to add any transitions, audio, or titles. How can I fix this? I have tried to drag them in between my scenes and it bounces back where it came from.

    Hi razmee209 thanks for your advice. However I clicked the link and it takes me to the you tube app which I already have downloaded and I can't see where to click on the get support, any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Can't add a transition in fcp 7

    Hey guys - I have two motion clips in fcp 7 and I know all about having handles and have even clipped away some footage to double check but I cannot add a transition between these clips.  Any ideas?
    ps I checked and have plenty of room for handles

    Thanks for the replies.
    Russ: I moved my inpoints and outpoints further in a but in actuality I already has several seconds of footage before the inpoint and after the outpoint to deal with.
    Meg: I thought about that and zoomed in as far as I could and I didn't have any blank frames that I could see.
    Btw, just for clarity - When I said that the clips are 'motion' clips - they came out of Apple Motion 4.

  • How can i add an audio transition?

    Adding an audio transition, basic for an editor, is impossible with fcpx??
    Or video, or video and audio or nothing???
    I've an interview and i need a 2 frames audio transition to eliminate the distorsion on the cut, the famous "click"...the only way is to do a split cut and to move the audio handles?...i think it's crazy, when on FCP7 was only a right click!!!!
    thanks to all!!!

    "Shift-F" i dont know i'll try to use it! But if work i think Apple have to put a interface command, not all can be only keyboard usable!
    We wont to talk about the trim? The famous beautifull New trim interface??
    No play around the cut to review the trim, and no possibility to trim going in play!
    Match Frame (if it is what you think it is -- try it and let me know) is now called "Reveal in Event Browser" and is available in the "Clip Menu."
    I think the shortcut for play-around the edit point is now shift-? (question mark). There are preferences to control the length but they are broken -- it's a known bug.
    yeah, the precision editor while pretty seems a bit lacking in practical usage at this point.

  • Audio Transitions not working properly in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

    I am noticing that I can't change the audio transitions on the timeline as I used to be able to do. Now I get a prompt to go to the Browser and select the audio transitions there which is not how I've done it previously. Before, I just clicked on the timeline audio clip, made a transition and then typed the duration of the transition in the Viewer. So, I'm wondering if I should trash the plist for FCP or do something else? The video transitions seem to work fine as they always have.
    Thanks for any help!

    Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
    No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
    I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

  • Audio Transitions.. I'm experiencing "jump cuts" in audio

    I am new to FCP.
    How come my audio is not transitioning along with my video. I have no prob in iMovie and other consumer apps.
    The video transitions smoothly but my audio JUMPS abruptly.
    Thanks for your time. It's appreciated!

    Well, did you apply a transition to the audio? This has to be done separately...transitions don't happen to audio AND video at the same time. Unlike iMovie, you need to add an AUDIO transition separate from video. Unless you see that transistion icon on your audio cut, it ain't there.

  • Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

    hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
    i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

    Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper.  Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
    Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
    If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
    No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline.  And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
    An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor.  Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right).  Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top.  Drag it left for however much fade you wish.  (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
    A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio.  Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

  • DVD OR BLU RAY DISK INTERFACE ADD AUDIO?

    IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD AUDIO TO A BLU-RAY OR DVD DISK INTERFACE WHEN USING FCP X TO CREATE (SHARE) THE PROJECT TO DISK?

    Thanks for the info. Tom
    A DVD authoring application...
    Do you mean a program such as TOAST,
    Will Toast crreat Blu-ray and DVDs and allow me to add audio to the interface?

  • How to create an audio transition

    It may be my ears to blame, but I cannot hear any difference whatever, with any of the audio transitions.  Further, I don't see any way to make adjustments in the adjustment panel either... or don't understand how to use it possibly.
    To get serious fading I have to resort to the rubberband technique and end up setting 4 keyframs.
    Am I just not understanding how to use the supplied audio transitions... should I hear some really noticable change if I use one, or not.
    Maybe I need to make my own, but I could use a little help on that.  I'd like to end up with a serious dip in volume as the cursor crosses from one clip to another.
    Its a real time sync if you have a lot of clips, to have to set and adjust 4 keyframes at each junction.

    Harry,
    It sounds like you want the equivalent of an audio "dip to black"; in other words, you want the outgoing audio to ride from 100% volume down to 0% volume, and then the incoming audio to ride from 0% back to 100% volume. Unfortunately, there is no built-in audio transition that does this--they all function as crossfades with the volume from both audio clips being mixed during the entire duration of the transition.
    Thankfully, there's a pretty easy and versatile solution, though it does involve a little setup legwork on your part. When in doubt, roll yer own
    Drop an audio clip or a video clip with audio into a sequence, and go to the beginning of the clip.
    With the clip selected, create a fade in using two volume keyframes, to the duration you desire. You already mentioned that you know how to rubberband the volume, and that's all you're doing here. You can either set this up in your sequence, or the effects control panel, whichever is easier for you. You can also Control+click the keyframes to turn them into Bezier keyframes, so that you can ease in and out of the keyframes, if you like.
    In the effects control panel, under Audio Effects, right-click on the word "Volume", and select "Save Preset". In the dialog that appears, name your preset (i.e. Volume Fade In 1 second), select Anchor to In Point, and add a description if you like. When you hit OK, the preset will be saved in your effects bin under Presets, where you can categorize them later.
    With this done, select the keyframes you created and delete them, or toggle the stop watch on and off to remove the keyframes. If you do the latter, you'll need to hit the keyframe button to remove the keyframe that is automatically keyframed.
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 above but instead of creating a fade in, create a fade out using the same techniques. Save the preset again using the same procedure, but selected Anchor to Out Point, and change the name to reflect that it's a fade out.
    You'll now have two custom fades in your Presets bin. You can select all of your clips that you want to apply the fades to and drag first one preset and then the other onto all of the selected clips. The reason you need to create two presets instead of one is because you probably want to maintain the duration of your fades, and the only way you can do this is to select the "Anchor to" options. If you created a fade in and fade out on one clip and selected Scale, the duration of the fades would be based on the duration of the clip; not likely what you want.
    Hope that helps a bit...
