Final Cut Pro 6 dip to colour dissolve

i recently saw a documentary shot on HD which used colour flashes as transitions (similar to dip to colour in FCP). The colours used resembled the rainbow and created the same look as 35mm (the end of film stock)
Can anybody advise me on how to create and authentic white film flash transition.
i have tried using dip to colour dissolve, but could not achive the desired effect.
As as reference: a similar thing can be seen in Coldplay's Viva La Vida (look out for whit flashes)
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Thanks Captain M
my bad, i meant "Violet Hill"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IakDItZ7f7Q
this should give a better demostration.
the effect i wish to achieve is the kind you very often see on 35mm footage (as seen in "violet hill".
i wish to create this kind of effect in a music video i'm editing.
the style of the music video is desaturated colours with high contrast.
by gradients, what do you mean? i'm not that experienced with FCP.
do you perhaps know where one can download FCP effect/transition plug-ins?
Thanks again for your help.

  • Final Cut Pro 6 - Can't set Dissolve Transition longer than :00;25

    I'm new to FCP and I can't find any information on this issue. Is there a setting that would prevent me from extending the time for this transition?

  • Final cut pro x dissolves not working

    Final Cut Pro X,  dissolves not working, When I use Ribbon, Heart ect, they showup on the video flickering, will not allow me to render the video, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry. That should be what's the media? What are the project properties?

  • Final Cut Pro 10.1.3, My Cross Dissolve icon is black, I have tried many option but I cannot get it to function. Do I need another plug in for it to work? Help please.

    Hi,
    I am trying to do a very basic cross dissolve in final cut pro 10.1.3. One thing I have noticed is that al a lot of my icons in the transitions sections are black. Is this normal? I can' t find much on this. When I drag the transition onto the clip a message comes up saying, 'There is not enough extra media beyond clip egdes', It asks do I want to over lap to create the transition. I say 'Create Transition', but it doesn't. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Curiously, this picture I can see :-)
    The dialog is quite normal. It just means what it says, namely, there is not enough extra media at the edges of the clips (so called "handles") to be used for the transition, so FCP X needs to shorten some of those clips to create the handles - thus the total length of your timeline will decrease.
    But the fact that the transition appears as black in the browser, and that it is not applied, show that there is definitely something wrong.
    Since these default transitions are installed as part of the application itself, I believe the best course of action is to delete FCP X (use FCS Remover to completely remove all traces of the application), and then install afresh from the purchases section of the App Store.

  • Cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8

    Hi there, seriously struggling with cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8.
    The problem is simple: I don't know how to do it, and I can't find the option to do it. Right clicking doesn't give me the option to 'Add Cross Dissolve'. I eventually found it by clicking 'Lift From Storyline'  and then clicking 'Add Cross Dissolve' but I can't navigate it at all...I'm trying to cross dissolve from one clip to another without it fading to black in between. Can someone help me, or point me in the direction of a tutorial? I've been looking for ages now and not found one that I can use!
    This is how it looks at the moment...The clip on the left fades to black and then the next clip starts really suddenly, neither of which I want to happen, but this is the closest I've got after hours of trying to make sense of it!

    Lift From Storyline is not what you want, as you've found.
    Command-T
    Highilght the In or the Out point of a clip, the default transition (Cross Desolve) is applied to that edit point.
    Hiighlight a whole clip, or series of clips together, the default transition is applied to all In and Out points for all selected clips.
    In the Transition Browser, right-click a cilp and select "Make Default Transition" to change which is the default.
    In the Transition Browser, select the "All" catagory in the left column, the first one listed is the one currently set at the Default Transition.
    You can also drag-and-drop from the Transition Browser, or highilght an In or Out point, or a single or series of clips, and double-click a transition in the browser.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 Dissolves

    I mostly use Final Cut Pro 7, but today I was using version 5 and I was having difficulty applying dissolves to
    a group of clips at one time. Is that feature available in version 5?

    The workaround is to duplicate the sequence.  Load it into the browser.  Mark IN and OUT on the parts you want, then drag to the Canvas and choose OVERWRITE WITH TRANSITION.

  • Final cut pro millions of colours + bit depth question

    Hello
    I am working in final cut pro 7 and I wanted to know what is the maximum bit depth I can export using the Prores codec? All I see in compression settings for rendering my timeline when wanting to render with Prores 4444 is the option for 'millions of colors' and 'millions of colors +' I was under the impression that millions of colors refered to 8 bit... does the alpha channel mean I can get 10 bit? can the alpha channel hold 2 more bits per channel or something? Or is there no way I can export a 10bit file using the Prores codec within fcp7..? is it all just 8bit. -and when I select 422HQ there is no advanced options for millions of colors..what does this mean? is the only way to get 10bit out of fcp7 to render with the 10bit uncompressed codec? and if so can I render the timeline in prores while im working with it then delete all the renders and change the render codec to 10bit uncompressed, will this now be properly giving me 10bit from the original 4444 12 bit files i imported in the beginning..?
    Any help is much appreciated

    ProRes is 10-bit. Every ProRes codec is 10-bit...LT, 422, HQ.  Not one of them is 8-bit.  Except for ProRes 444...that's 12 bit.

  • Fade Out to White in Final Cut Pro (FCP)

    Could someone please show me how to do add a fade-to-white transition in Final Cut Pro (FCP)? (Instead of black, which is default.) I want to be able to do both: 1) fade to white; 2) and white to the picture. An example clip:
    http://www.allfilters.com/campingfilters/gravityfed/platypus-gravityworks-filter
    *Click on the "Videos" tab.
    This clip ends with "fade to white." I want to apply the same effect in the beginning (white to movie).
    Thank you in advance.

    Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve> Dip to Color Dissolve ... add it at the start and end
    Double click the transition at the start (the Fade In) to open it in the Viewer and change the Color property to White. For extra credit you can change the Start value to 50%. Then double click the transition at the end (the Fade Out) to open it in the Viewer and again change the Color property to White. For extra credit change the End value to 50%.
    Or another way would be to use Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color Solid to create a "White" clip and then use that to dissolve into and out of your edit using a regular Cross Dissolve transition or by placing the Color Solid on another layer and the keyframing the opacity.
    Hope it helps

  • Scene Detection in Final Cut Pro

    It would be really awesome if Apple could develop some sort of scene detection software for Final Cut Pro and Color. A lot of color correction work that we do in the DaVinci comes from edited programs off of tape. It would be nice to speed up the notching process to open up Color to people not using Final Cut Pro.

    yes that would be lovely, but it would require realtime playback to make it worthwhile. No, COLOR isn't a daVinci in that department. And besides, daVinci never detected dissolves or other subtle scene changes --and could generate spurious event boundaries with fast-moving objects or wildly varying contrast.
    I agree that it would be great especially since correcting a "baked" show is really a serious compromise to begin with. In this scenario, you're always going to be faced with keyframing transitions, the colour non-linearities associated with that, and likely a drop/non-drop issue if you use "Import as Cut List". See the release notes. Otherwise, hand-cut french fries-- and ALWAYS a better idea to do that in FCP before sending to COLOR. Trust me.
    Nope, bringing in the layered sequence from FCP, even if it has been translated via AutoDuck from some other edit package, is the method of choice.

  • Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

    I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture.  The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
    Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14.  Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
    I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit. 
    Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options.  Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
    I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes.  Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play.  A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
    Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.  
    Below is the first part of the error report dump. 
    Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
    Appreciate the thoughts.
    Cheers -

    Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
    Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
    I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
    I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
    Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 freezes on output to VHS and other weridness!!!

    Gents and Ladies,
    First time poster...I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside...really I do...
    My Brand New G5 dual 2.7GHz blah blah blah is freezing up on out put to VHS. I am using a JVC SR-VS30 Mini-DV/SVHS dual deck.
    Why VHS? I work for a school district and that's the cheapest stock possible.
    Anyway... the board meeting tape I output last night all the sudden freezes after like 45 minutes of recording. It litterally screwed up right after I left the office last night. I actually stayed with it for 45 minutes and "held its hand" to make sure everything went along alright. Right after it left..."feeeze frame, freeze frame...now freeze..du du du na na na"...did you ever hear that song?
    Anyway...to make a long story short...while watching the tape this morning...it was just stuck for like an hour like that. I turned it off after 30 seconds but after fast fwd'n the tape...it just kept recording like that.
    Totally unbelieveable. I love how Macs need to rest before it starts to work. It grabs a cup of Joe and a bagel...reads the morning paper...returns a few emails...then it MIGHT be ready to work...if your lucky. And then...if your not looking...it'll randomly fail. I love that...so..what I do...is I try to trick it into working for me...yeah...I trick it...:)
    Anyway...so I want to run Disk Warrior. My screen saver is turned off, my hard drives don't go to sleep, all the things you might think would cause it to go off line over the course of 3 hours... I have turned off. It would seem...at least to me...that when it tries to Auto Save the glitch kicks in.
    The other thing is that I record the meetings on an NNovia Quick Capture HD DVR via Firewire. It has worked many times before...flawlessly. The copy is fine...the file in Final Cut is fine. It even previews to a TV monitor nicely...but on output...its choking on the toothpaste when rinsing.
    JB
    G5 Dual 2.7ghz H2o cooled   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Double dipping on RAM

    O.K. cool.
    I did change Auto Save before any of this even happens. I made all these very changes on my previous dual 2.0 G5. That machine...although much slower...always worked...never faultered...very dependable. Quite honestly the best Mac I ever worked on...until new versions of stuff came out and ruined all my fun.
    I have changed all the pertinant settings...at least I thought.
    Do any of you think I should ask for the upgrade to 5.0? Does it have any fixes in it that make it worth it? The new machine is what has made the bugs pop up. For a while it wasn't even recognizing my deck then one day it started working. Any thoughts on that... let me know. I am not a huge fan of the Dual JVC deck but it has worked pretty well. Now I use this DVR and it works really well for long running board meetings. At least VHS does what its told...:) With DV you always got to wonder if you've dropped some frames. Even if I am recording to a Hard Drive.
    Before this gig I worked on the "last run" dual something G4 Quicksilver's and they all ran horrible. FCP3 and bugs everywhere. After that disaster I then jumped ship all together to a Canopus Premiere Pro system on a DVStorm2 Pro + card. That is a nice system. Great Chroma Key stuff. Now at this gig I have been working in Mac again. I was hugely surprised by how well the G5 performed. It did get a little slow for me eventually. Honestly my single P4 in combonation with the Canopus Realtime Preview Board really beat it up quite badly. Even that still had to render in the end but at least I could see everything while I was working. Render time was pretty fast in the end too. I think that has been my favorite DV Editing solution on PC.
    I really like Final Cut Pro. I think it quick and dirty...just the way I like it. I started out learning on Avid and if the company I worked for used it...I would prefer that truthfully but I have been riding FCP for 3 years and counting and every place I work at is Mac so...I am totally on this boat.
    Any opinions on the Intel stuff yet? I would be interested in perf as I would like to get a Mac system at home and sell my Canopus rig...all thought I do love it so.
    BTW...no...no error messages at all...
    ...and I would've styaed with it last night if I didn't have to finally leave after another 10 hour day...tonight I have a 2 hour video after work and then Sat/Sun we have a huge music festival and that will 2 12hr days...so...if I didn't need sleep...I would'e been able to stay some more...
    ;)~
    ...Oh and I have a 250 GB Serial ATA system drive and a 250 GB A/V Storage drive.
    FCP stuff on A/V Drive
    iMovie/iDVD stuff on system
    ...has always seemed to run better like this.
    Many thanks for the ideas and for any future input.

  • IMovie to iDVD or Final Cut Pro to DVD studio pro "Better output"

    I recorded some family videos onto a computer with a WinTV pci board.
    Converted the MPEG2 to DV/DVCPro NTSC on my Mac with MPEG stremeclip.
    Used quicktime to divide the tapes/clips where we had switched recordings.
    Now i was going to use final cut pro but i am starting to like imovie 09.
    I want to take the clips and add simple fades mostly cross dissolve fade to black and just nothing something not noticeable. Then once I have combined the events reasonably. I want to put them onto DVD.
    Say our christmas videos
    One DVD with each year christmas event.
    And one for someone's birthdays through the years.
    If you need me to elaborate ill try harder.
    So should I use Final Cut Pro then have DVD studio make the DVDs Or iMovie 09 and iDVD 09. Which would have the best looking output.
    Oh by the way how can i remove the static feedback from the recordings I don't care which application i need tell me which one.
    If someone needs an example of the main sound i don't want ill post one.
    Note: I will be posting this in the Final Cut Pro forms as well.

    Since you have both, you should run both and see if you see a difference.
    I would expect that a $1,400 product would outperform a $20 product (= 1/4 of iLife).
    But the question is, How much better? and is it worth the extra effort to you? Only you can decide that.
    Another option for you to consider is you can edit in iMovie and export your project to Final Cut Pro in XML. Might be the best of both worlds.

  • Final Cut Pro to Avid for broadcast

    Hi,
    I use Final Cut Pro to produce 30 TV spots.
    I dont own Beta or DVCPro50 decks so i burn QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit files.
    At the broadcast station, they drop the QuickTime movie into Avid media composer v.12.
    We had 3 choices for import setting in Avid:
    1) RGB
    2) RGB Dither
    3) 601
    601 gave us the more accurate image, better contrast that seemed quite the same as i saw in my FCP editing suite.
    What are the best FCP export settings and best Avid import settings to avoid any shift in luma and chroma ?
    QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit is YUV ?
    Is Avid able to read YUV ?
    thanks

    There are currently 3 main television standards used throughout the world:
    NTSC - National Television Standards Committee. The oldest existing standard, developed in the USA. First used in 1954. Consists of 525 horizontal lines of display and 60 vertical lines. Sometimes irreverently referred to as "Never Twice the Same Color." Only one type exists, known as NTSC M.
    SECAM - Système Électronique pour Couleur avec Mémoire. Developed in France. First used in 1967. A 625-line vertical, 50-line horizontal display. Sometimes referred to by wags as "Something Essentially Contrary to the American Method" or SEcond Colour Always Magenta!" Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Types B and D usually used for VHF; types G, H, and K for UHF; types I, N, M, K1 and L for both VHF/UHF. Different types are generally not compatible.
    PAL - Phase Alternating Line. Developed by German engineer Walter Bruch and the German electronic corporation Telefunken. Walter Bruch patented his invention 1963 and the first commercial application of the PAL system was in August 1967. Also a 625/50-line display and variant of NTSC. Proponents call it "Perfection At Last." Due to the cost of the enormous circuit complexity, critics often refer to it as "Pay A Lot". Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Common types are B, G and H; less common types include D, I, K, N and M. The different types are generally not compatible

  • HT4589 Final Cut Pro wont launch anymore

    I updated to the latest version of Final Cut Pro and now it wont launch.  the window comes up and all I get is a spinning colourful wheel as a cursor and no way to operate the software.

    Could be a problem within one or more of your Events or Projects.
    Move your Events and Projects to new (temporary) folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch.
    If it launches OK, then quit the app and move the Projects back one by one (re-launching each time). The media will be offline (red clips) but if it launches OK, quit again, and move the Events back one by one - re-launching each time you move an Event.
    This should isolate the offending Event - you can then use a similar technique to track down the individual file.

  • 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.
