FCP can't handle effects or transitions without jittering.

Hey guys, i'm on a FCP7 from Final Cut Studio, I've used this for a good while now, however, just recently, every effect, or transition i place, the video jitters. now i don't know if it will actually export it that way or if it will. My question is, how can i make my fcp not jitter with transitions (as simple as dissolve). Is it possible to uninstall the software without damaging the files?

I am not a super trouble shooter, but try 2 things - try copying the clips in your timeline and pasting them in a new sequence to see if the problem persists.
Also, where are your scratch disks - if they are on your boot drive, I would suggest moving them, including your render scratch, to a separate drive, preferably external. You may have a space issue if your scratch disks are on your boot drive (even if you don't have a space issu) it is still a good idea to keep your scratch disks separate from your boot drive).

Can I apply effects to transitions?

the title really says it all...can I apply a quick blur to a wipe transition to soften the edge of transition from clip a to clip b ?
thanks,
Paul

Check out the Gradient Wipe transition (not the Gradient Wipe effect--though it could be made to do the same thing). You create a grayscale image/gradient to define the wipe, and then depending on the "length" of the gradient, you can create a soft-edged wipe.
Another option would be Linear Wipe, in Video Effects > Transition; that has a built in softness slider, though you need to manually animate the transition and stack your clips on two tracks.

FCP can't handle perfectly good QT-movie

Hi there!
I record screen capture movies with SnapZ Pro and edit them into complete tutorial movies in Final Cut Pro 5. This usually works fine. These days, however, I encountered a problem I couldn't solve.
Here is a screenshot of a clip I recorded as Quicktime Pro plays it:
http://homepage.mac.com/cmeermann/filechute/Screenshot_3.jpg
And this is how FCP plays the exact same scene:
http://homepage.mac.com/cmeermann/filechute/Screenshot_2.jpg
Apart from those flaws, FCP plays the clips without rendering, so that the sequence settings seem to be ok. The nasty part of the problem is that FCP also exports those artifacts to Compressor so that my final movie also has them. My clients, of course, don't like them.
Has anybody here any ideas how to solve those problems?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

I can't do this. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=649057&tstart=0 for further information.
However, I solved the problem using the following workaround.
I dragged the source clips to Compressor and compressed them to H264 without any problems. I then imported those clips to FCP and cut them into the movie. Of course, I had to render them, but since only two clips were affected, this was ok and only took a few minutes. After that I could compress the whole movie via Compressor without any artifacts.
Thanks for all your help, folks!

"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 can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces? - It's making me sick!

How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

Hi,
I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
Good luck.

Can't find zoom effect under effects video transition.

I'm using V6.0.5 for Mac. I wanted to use zoom effect on a movie clip but can't find the zoom effect under Effects > video transition tab. I dunno what's wrong.

This was corrected in I believe CC 2014.
It wasn't really 'corrected' as much as the Windows version was intentionally hobbled. (Blasphemy!)

Ken Burns Effect in iDVD without iPhoto?

I was wondering if I can add the Ken Burns Effect in iDVD without having to make a slideshow in iPhoto and exporting.

This seems very inefficient to me. So in order to get motion slideshows, you have to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a .mov file (or iMovie which is even less easy), which takes quite a long time (at least 10min or so?) even on my MBP 2ghz and chewed up 500mb for 5 minutes. I have 17 slideshows I'd like to put in one iDVD project - processing them one by one in this way is a real pain in the neck.
Hopefully, one day Apple will either:
- allow you to queue slideshow exporting in iPhoto; or preferably
- accept motion slideshows is a core functionality for iDVD in the same way transitioning slideshows are. iDVD could just call on the iPhoto app behind the scenes to process the motion slideshows, if they really didn't want to move all that code into iDVD.

Inserting transitions without using footage

Hi,
I have a transition question, (relating to FCP X 10.0.3), I'm adding transitions between clips, I seem to recall that I used to drag a transition across, and as I got to insert it the clips would automatically part and the transition would drop in.
Now when I drag a transition, FCP X says it needs to use footage from either side to generate the transition, and generate it or cancel it. This is fine with long clips but not so good with the short ones. Does anyone know what I need to change to get this behaviour back?
Thanks in advance

You don't seem to be aware of the importance of having HANDLES. Handles are pieces of your clip before and after the part that is used in the timeline. The handles are what FCP X uses when you create a transition.
When you select part of a clip inside an event (by dragging or setting an In and an Out point), and then insert this selection in a timeline, the outer bits of your clip that didn't get selected - i.e., the Handles - will be used for transitions. If you select ALL your clip, there are no handles. This has nothing to do with the length of the clip.
Having handles is the right way to do it and I hope that you will come to appreciate it.
If you force a transition without having handles, all your content to the right of the transition will be shifted, and the length of your movie will be reduced. This is BAD, as it will mess up things. For example, if you have a sound clip connected to your storyline and some images further down the story were synched to a beat in the music, they will become out of sync.

FCP won't add cross dissolve transition to clips

After putting two Quicktime clips into FCP, I attempted to add a cross dissolve transition in between the two clips. When I dragged the cross dissolve transition to the two clips, nothing happened. That transition had been used before, and as far as I can tell, nothing was different this time than all the previous times. For some odd reason, FCP refuses to add the transition to those clips.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas on what could have happened? More importantly, is there a way to work around this problem?
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This is a problem when you do not edit down your raw clips and drop them into the timeline as they have been captured.
The operative concept is 'handles'.
For transitions to work, you need enough unused footage AFTER the OUT point of first (outgoing) clip and BEFORE the IN point of the second (incoming) clip.
Drop the first clip into the Viewer and set an OUT point 30 frames or so from the end of the clip. Drop the second clip into the Viewer and set the IN point 30 frames or so past the beginning of the clip.
Now try to place your transition.

Can't render effects in FCP7 for ALL-INTRA video shot on GH3

I can't render effects on FCP 7 for footage shot on a Panasonic GH3 camera.
Original files are shot in ALL-INTRA mov files 1920x1080, 25p format. Original files are H-264, and are imported without conversion, edited on Easy Setup HD XDCAM HD 1080p25.
I can render effects on the timeline, but there is massive breakup when I export the edit.
Exporting raw files, without special effects is OK.
Any suggestions?

That camera shoots AVCHD...not AVCIntra. Only P2 cameras shoot AVCIntra.
"Original files are H-264, and are imported without conversion"
That's your problem. FCP doens't work with H.264 well. YOu need to convert the footage to ProRes, and use a ProRes timeline.

Can FDM handle more than one year at a time?

Hi,
I'm trying to load a multi-load file through FDM with the target being an Essbase cube and the source being a text file. The file is for 36 months which crosses 3 years. The problem is Oracle support is saying FDM can only handle one calendar year at a time and we need to load 3 separate files.
The file imports and validates ok. And the export only pushes data to the first year '2010' but it doesn't error out.
Any ideas?

If you use an excel file as the source, you can load all 36 periods.
You can also modify the adaptor to support this action but I would caution you that doing so will cause support to no longer support your application without requiring you to import a non customized adaptor. This also has consequences for when upgrading.
Let me add, FDM support is the best in the business. I have never had a situation where what they told me was incorrect. What you are trying to accomplish would be a custom solution that should be implemented by an experienced FDM resource that understands the impact of the customization.

How can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?

Hi ,
how can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?When we configured security in web.xml , during the first request the container is asking for the authentication credentials once they are provided it go's on. but when the user gives a fresh request from the second window within the same browser that time it is not asking for authentication. How can we overcome this.Is there anything to do with server configurations?
How can we make the container no to keep the things or act like session?

Ya... I am taking a small example need not happen always but a kind of possibility i am thinking off.
once the user sign out and just left without closing the browser and a friend (suppose not a good friend ... just kidding...) of that user may open the same jsp or file .This time the security is breached. If that feature or property exists....
I know what you might say ... the user will log-out before leaving where a programer might invalidate the session at the time of log out.
Consider the case of a bad Programing or just a programer might forget to invalidate,At that time as a application administrator how can he solve that issue.
Thanks.......

Can we handle exceptions for the expressions in select query?

Hi all,
Can we handle exceptions for the expressions in select query.
I created a view, there I am extracting a substring from a character data and expected that as a number.
For example consider the following query.
SQL> select to_number( substr('r01',2,2) ) from dual;
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR('R01',2,2))
1
Here we got the value as "1".
Consider the following query.
SQL> select to_number( substr('rr1',2,2) ) from dual;
select to_number( substr('rr1',2,2) ) from dual
ORA-01722: invalid number
For this I got error. Because the substr returns "r1" which is expected to be as number. So it returns "Invalid number".
So, without using procedures or functions can we handle these type of exceptions?
I am using Oracle 10 G.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

SQL> select decode(ltrim(rtrim(translate(substr('r21', 2, 2), '0123456789', ' ' ), ' '), ' '), null, (substr('r21', 2, 2)), null) from dual;

Sounds like you don't have enough handles.

How can I add the same transition to 200 photos?

I'm making a slide show of over 200 photographs. How can I add the same transition between each photo without inserting it 200 times? There has to be a way to globally' insert transitions. What if I want to modify the length of the transitions or the photos? I don't want to modify each one individually.

Daniel,
Here are some references for you for applying a transition between all photos
1)
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4ddb1/0
will point you to a tutorial at muvipix.com
Basically you do a Create Slideshow command choosing the transition before the photos are placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline. This process also specifies the duration for the "slide" and the transition.
2)I suggest that you also read this FAQ about the resolution of photo files to be used in Premiere Elements. Even though written for an earlier version, it is still relevant (and potentially necessary) depending on the specs and status of your system
