Go to frame with Transition effects

How can I do something like this: (Mask 1, 10, 15 are nice)
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/flash_masking_effects_collection.html
But also make it go to a certain frame? (Like go to frame 5)
The problem is I downloaded it but it's in AS2 and I need AS3.

You're best bet will be to figure out how the AS2 code it making it work and then devise the AS3 equivalent for it. Going to a particular frame should not be at all relatred to the masking. The object you are masking will be what you want to process as far as frame travel goes.

Make freeze frame with filters effects showing?

I'm using the dvMatte Pro plug-ins to strip out the green screen and replace it with a different background.
Even if I render the entire project, if I take a freeze frame (while the canvas and viewer show the subject against the newly added background), the freeze frame shows the green screen.
How can I remedy this?

Copy the clip from which you created the still frame. Right-click on the still frame in the Timeline and select Paste Attributes->Filters.
Or, open the clip in the Viewer and drag the filters onto the still frame.

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider. iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
Does this help. Perhaps you already know this ?

Troubles with transition timeline effect

Hello,
I am trying to get a line of text to fade in over time via
the 'Transition' timeline effect. However, when I do this, editing
any of the settings makes no change, even after updating the
preview. If I click OK, the effect doesn't seem to work at all.
When I open the Transition effect dialog, I get an 'output'
window with the following inside:
quote:
Exception in exportPreviewSWF: TypeError: instance has no
properties
Exception in reverse: TypeError: tmpFrame has no properties
Exception in forward: TypeError: myCurrentFrame has no

Any assistance in remedying the problem would be most

Thanks. I kind of get half of what you are saying. I'm using a old flash mx and half the buttons/menu in it are really different. I'm checking out the motion panel as we speak.

Log Message:
Fixes bug with shader-transition effects (AnimateTransitionShader, Wipe, and CrossFade) when acting on targets that either have filters or are inside a hierarchy with filters. Fix was to capture the bitmap snapshot of the target without any of its own filters applied and to then use the ShaderFilter in conjunction with the target's filters during the animation.
QE notes: Probably need more tests in this area, now that we handle it

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

Problem with keyframe effect - at start and end (crop and scale)

I'm having this odd problem with keyframe effects.
Setup:
I have a gif image that I have on video 1 for say 2 minutes.
I have my real video on video 2. It is a person talking.
First I start with my video full size on top of video 1.
Though the motion and cropping keyframe management I slowly reduce the scale and crop my video image so that it is reduced to the lower left bottom of the screen, on top of the gif, which is now revealed.
My problem is at the start and end of the transition from full video to small box on lower left on top of my gif I often get 1-2 frames where the video goes blank and/or I get a bunch of random red bars on black background appearing on the video - Or I get the gif from video 1 without the video 2 at all (it disappears).
I've tried moving my start of end of the transition to skip the bad spots - but these new transition starts or ends not get their own bad spots in the same way. Its only a couple of frames but it's really unacceptable for the finished video.
Note, when I say transition here I don't mean real transition events, but rather the start of effects that are managed with keyframes. My move from start to end of the effect runs for about 4-6 seconds.
Any ideas?

Bill,
Here is more detail and screen captures.
Concept:
I have 3 minutes of video. It contains a person making a speech. During parts of the speech I want to reveal a graphic image that will be discussed. The speech will begin with the speaker full screen. Half way in, the speaker will shrink down to 45% in the lower left corner of the screen. While the animation occurs (the shrink, move and cropping) it will reveal the graphic below. The graphic will take up the full screen with the speaker at 45%.
Technique:
I put the video in Video 2 and the graphic, a GIF image in Video 1. The scene begins with the speaker talking at full screen. After a minute, I animate the move of the speaker using Motion: Scale and Position and Effect: Crop changing Top, Bottom, Left and Right sides. The animation occurs over approximately 8 seconds.
I am manually adding keyframes at the start and end of the animation. I set the ending state of the video image in the end keyframes. The interpolation between these start and end keyframes should be managing the animation.
Problem:
At the beginning and end of the animation – usually 1-3 frames from the start and 1-3 frames from the end, where the change has barely begun or almost ended, I get these problems. On some frames, the video (in Video 2) completely disappears only showing the Video 1 GIF image below. On other frames, the video image turns black with horizontal red bands half way across.
Troublshooting:
I’ve tried deleting all start and end keyframes and moving the start and end earlier or later to see if I can fix this, but the problem continues to show up in these new locations.
I have added a few screen shots.
1:32:15 is the start of the animation change and 1:40:22 is the end of increasing from the mini video speaker to full size (on top of the GIF).
At 1:40:16 the video image completely disappears only showing the GIF below.
At 1:40:17 its back and slowly increases in size through the interpolation until it is full size at 1:40:22.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

Is there a "Flash or White Wash" transition effect in FCP?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get a transition effect of a "white Wash or like a Flash" in FCP5? It's an effect you see on tv when people get a make over from looking bad to looking really cool with a transition that looks like a flash or white wash.
Anyone please,
Thanks in advance,
Zia

I'm actually a fan of a combination of both Tom's and Andy's method.
Being old enough to remember film and the cool effects you'd get when stopping the camera (a number of frames that went to white as the film slowed in the gate to a stop-- number of frames depended totally on the camera. Asynchronous cameras were usually longer 6 frames or so, and the Arri's were usually 2 at most.)
Anyway, if you warp out a frame or two with the CC and use them in your opacity ramp, you can get some really cool stuff.

Problem with Transition Over Nested Freeze

In a nutshell:
My normally co-operative FCP (5.1.4, OS 10.4.10) can't seem to cope with one particular transition, in which a wipe effect overlaps with the start of a nested freeze frame. I seem to be able to do this with no problem anywhere else (even elsewhere on the same Timeline), but it's feeling like this one spot is jinxed!
The gory details:
I have a short sequence that begins with 3-4 similar shots, each of which end in a freeze frame, followed by a 2-second "Clock Wipe" transition to the next shot.
In one particular case (let's call it going from Shot A to Shot B), the Wipe needs to begin several frames BEFORE the start of the freeze. So in that case I've taken the shot + the freeze and nested them, making sure that the nested clip has ample handles. So far, so good.
But every time I then try to apply the transition, I get the not very informative error message: "Not Found." When I click OK (the only option available), the Canvas suddenly goes red, and displays the message: "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
But if I do close the window, both the Canvas and Timeline disappear and can't be reopened -- they're each greyed out under the "Window" menu, and Cmd-2 and Cmd-3 do nothing. If I close the sequence tab and then try to re-open the sequence, nothing happens.
Meanwhile, if I don't close any windows, and just move the playhead somewhere else on the Timeline, the red Canvas seems to go back to normal. But if I then try to play that Timeline (no matter where the playhead is cued), I keep getting the same "Not Found" error message. If I Undo to before the point where I applied the transition, I STILL get the "Not Found" error!
In fact, once that "Not Found" error message appears, the ONLY way I've found to get access to that particular Timeline again is by doing a Revert Project. (Other sequences continue to work fine; it's just this one which can suddenly no longer be found.)
For anyone still interested, here's the troubleshooting I've tried:
- Doing the same procedure on another transition in the same Timeline -- works fine (even when applied to the very next transition -- the Shot B to Shot C one -- in the Timeline).
- Applying a transition that's shorter, and therefore doesn't overlap with the freeze "embedded" in the nested clip. This seems okay, but as soon as I then try to make the transition longer, so that it begins before the start of the nested freeze, it's the "Not Found" message again, and another Revert Project.
- Tried re-creating the nest: nothing. Tried re-creating the freeze frame, then re-creating the nest: still no change. Tried recreating the freeze on a different frame: no difference.
- Tried applying different wipes to the trouble spot -- but with the same result: if the wipe was short enough not to overlap with the freeze that's inside the nested clip, no problem; if the wipe is long enough that it starts before the nested freeze, it's another "Not Found" message and another Revert Project -- but ONLY for this one transition.
- Tried applying the wipe different ways (straight from the Browser; Option-dragging a copy of the transition from elsewhere on the Timeline; even making it a Favorite and applying it from the Effects menu).
- Tried copying all the clips from the sequence over into the empty Timeline of a fresh new sequence: no difference.
- Tried deleting the master shot altogether, and bringing in a new copy of the clip from the Browser: no difference.
- Tried deleting all the render files associated with this one sequence, the re-importing the clip from the Browser and re-creating the Freeze then the nest yet again: still no difference.
- Tried replacing the shot with a different clip of a different take altogether -- same thing!!!
- Made sure disk permissions were repaired, and even did a complete rebuild of the directory of the disk which has my FCP master project files plus the app itself (using Disk Warrior).
At this stage, ANY suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
John Bertram

Hi John,
How are you making the freeze frame? Shift n? Saving as subclip?
Shift-n.
Does the freeze frame have ample handles, or just the clip?
Handles galore.
Is there a reason that the sequence needs to be nested? How does it work if you put the clips directly into your main timeline?
It's not the sequence itself that's being nested, just a given shot together with its freeze frame. And that was so I could then begin the transition effect to the next shot BEFORE the start of the freeze frame. If the clip plus its freeze remain unnested on the Timeline, FCP treats the freeze as a separate clip, and won't let me stretch the start of the transition (to the next actual shot) past -- i.e. to the left of -- the start of the freeze.
But if the freeze and the shot which leads into it have been nested, then FCP should treat that nest as a single clip, and let me extend the transition effect I apply to it as far back into that nested clip as I want. At least that's the theory -- and it's worked for me at other times. Why it isn't working in this one case is what's driving me bonkers!
Anyway, thanks for the note.
Cheers,

Please Help.Transition effects between scenes.

Hello,
I am simulating an Ipad device in flash CS6, with AS3, and I have made one scene for the desktop (with all the app icons) and another scene for each app.
I'm using buttons to navigate between apps (each app icon is a button), and made another button for the Ipad home button to go back to desktop.
By the way , I'm using this code for the buttons;
          btn_music.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, abrerep);
          function abrerep (event:MouseEvent):void {
          gotoAndStop("1","Reproductor");
It works fine , but I would like to add a transition effect (like a fade out, or something similar to what ipad actually do) when you open an app or go back to desktop (change scene).
Any advice on how to do this?!!
I apreciate your help, thanks in advance.
PD: Also I would like to simulate a web browser app (like safari), that when you open it, it goes to a web site, for example www.apple.com
Any Ideas to this??

Doing trransitions along a timeline using scenes is not very designer-friendly. You are better off avoiding the using of frames and even the timeline. Just have each section as a movieclip in one frame and control the visibility of each. Then you can use Actionscript to fade things in and/or out as needed, while having the benefit of easily retaining the states of sections already visited. You should be able to convert each scene into a movieclip by copying the timeline into a movieclip.

Transition + Effects = Madness!!

I'm just playing around, trying to get my iMovie bearings, and this is what I decided to try:
I've got about a 15 second clip of myself playing guitar and singing a song. I've got the song itself in the second timeline track. (It took awhile to sync them up, there's got to be an easier way!) I've got about five second of blank space converted to clip before me playing. I used a Lightspeed transition between the two which lasts about 2 seconds. About fifteen frames after the transition is OVER I want an electricty effect to hit my guitar, so I set Effect In to about 2 and a half second, or two seconds and 15 frames. I set Effect out at the full 10 seconds, so that the effect would only last about 2 seconds.
Didn't quite work out how I wanted. The effect (Electricity) was going on, granted fading in, as soon as the Lightspeed transition started showing me playing guitar, in fact, as the transition was taking place. And the effect lasted the duration of the clip. . Never mind...what I bet I have to do is slpit the clip immediately after the transition split and then again two seconds later, and apply the effect to only that clip.

Try to make a few more transitional states in between with varying levels of opacity for each picture (and play with the State Delay time). Other than that, i don't think Fireworks has transitional effects for slideshows (i may be wrong).

IMovie 11 cutaway with transitions workaround?

Hi! I'm trying to create a 'cutaway'-like effect, but with transitions. Since iMovie doesn't allow you to apply transitions to cutaways (put that on the wish-list for future releases!) I'm trying to find a workaround. So far I've come up with this:
1. Separate audio from video.
2. Split video and audio at insert point of cutaway.
3. Split video and audio at exit point of cutaway.
4. Drop cutaway on top of the section I just cut out and choose 'Replace from beginning'.
… now I have a nice 'manual' cutaway, and can insert transitions before and after it like I normally would. The problem is, as soon as I do, the soundtrack and video after the cutaway is out of sync. Any tips on how I can avoid this (lock video and audio together?), or at least understand how iMovie handles the video/audio/transitions-combo so I can manage it?
Thank you,
Kim

When you use a transition, by default, your movie will get shorter. iMovie "borrows" frames from your clips to make the transition.
It is possible to keep the movie the same length, but for this to work, the transition must find video frames from somehere. It will look in the Event, and bring in the frames that are before or after the ones you used in your clip. This will usually be OK, but it can be dangerous. If you carefully edited out the frames where Aunt Martha is picking her nose, they can show up in the transition.
To do this, click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/FULL,
The other thought I had was that your method sounds like the workaround that we used in iMovie 08 days before we had CUTAWAY. Here is a link to how we did it then. http://imovie08.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-extract-audio-from-clip.html

Final cut pro dropped frames after transition

Hi, I'm kind of new with FCP 7 and have an issue getting dropped frames after applying a transition effect into my video. Everything else is working right but just after I apply any dissolve or transitions the video hiccups.Even rendering it still jumps.
I'm using a canon rebel t2i which gives me a h.264 codec (I've read that is a hard format for editing) but it is the only one I got, is there a way to solve this issue ? Thanks!!

Solve it by transcoding the h.264 file to pro res using MPEGStreamclip.

Transition Effects / Handles

Im using a Canon XL2 to tape and capture my footage (DV NTSC)..
Once I'm editing and adding transition effect on FCP 5.1.1 i find that it only lets me put 1sec transitions. If i want to make the transition anywhere longer than 1sec i have to have some sort of "handle" on the clip(s) my question is...Is there any way to have the computer automatiaclly add 1second handles to the start and end of each clip (i use the capture now feature and capture the whole tape then use the DV start/stop detect and make subclips)....i shoot weddings so im dealing with 200plus clips on any given project and it is very time consuming to have to munually add 1sec handles to the start/end of each clip just to be able to use a 2sec video and/or audio transition..thanks for anyhelp anybody can provide, it's greatly appreciated

dude ... this is what editing is! surely you don't use every frame of every clip you shoot? you look at the clip, you choose your in-point and out-point, whatever comes before the in-point or after the out-point is the handle you have left to play with ...if theres not enough space for a 2 sec dissolve then choose a new outpoint/inpoint or choose a shorter transition
if you want auto handles then you need to use iMovie, that will do what you want as it is designed for those who dont really "edit".

Key-Frame Video Transitions?

Is there anyway to Key-Frame Video Transitions in Premiere?

With some transitions (not Transitions), one can create them, such as with Opacity for Cross-Dissolves, and then Keyframe those Effects. That is where Colin and I were headed. Most Transitions can only be adjusted via whatever attribute dialog, if any, is presented.
The Nesting is a very good way to make some changes too.
Often several ways to skin that cat...
For more control, you also might want to look into Pixelan's SpiceMaster, or ProDAD's Adorage, as many of their Transitions can be altered in some very interesting ways. Pixelan is kind of a "roll your own," plug-in, and offers some very useful control. Well worth the $, and cannot say too much about how great their support is - should be the paradigm for all software companies, IMHO.
Good luck,
Hunt

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards
Ramon
