How can I do a simple fade transition between clips??

I'm trying to learn my new Premiere Elements 9. I am a simple man, with simple needs. I like to just do a simple fade transition between video clips. There is no "fade" option on the transitions for PE9, I have tried "cross disolve" and "non-additive disolve", and they are freaking wierd. The one that comes the closest is cross-dissolve, It fades out the first clip fine, but the follow on clip starts with an awkward momentary freeze frame, which is not acceptable.
Any thoughts?

A "fade" is a just that. It fades to black.
Fades to black are far from weird.They are very useful for indicating a complete change of subject or chapter in a long video story.
I think you are using the wrong descriptions,
Probably you want a cross dissolve where one scene slowly dissapears while the next one appears, the average picture level being constant.
There are two of them provided in transitions. Cross dissolve (what you call a fade) and non additive dissolve.
They both work perfectly if you apply them correctly and you have set up your project correctly to match your video camera or slides. (see many other posts on this)
You simply drag the 'transition icon' for the dissolve to the cut line between the two clips. Cant be any easier than that can it?
If you are seeing jerky results, it is because your computer is not fast enough to preview unrendered video (or set up right) - so render it!
As I said there should be no red lines at the top of the timeline where the transition is (otherwise render just that red part of the timeline)
More advanced:-
The dissolve period plainly shows in the video track. You can have it before, centered or after the cut depending on where you want the dissolve to start or finish in relation to moving objects in the video. (Right click and select effect properties to adjust)
You can even change the speed of the dissolve by dragging the edges of the effect boix in the timeline

But if I want ONLY fade out (or in) I can't do it...
OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim files ?

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim the two files to size when fading between them? Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. What I meant was that in Pro Tools, you can highlight an area between two tracks and crossfade. Then the files are exactly trimmed automatically so there is no excess overlap of the edges of both files. In Logic it seems to leave the overlap, and this can be a problem when you accidently click the wrong place and the underlying file is bought to the front, changing the crossfade area. I wish it to trim the excess so there is no danger of the lower file edges coming forward.

You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file by going to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks. From that window select Import/Export and then Export HTML...

Once you have that file, open it in Firefox or a text editor and print from there.

How to apply transitions between clips in the same track?

Hey guys,
I'm in Uni on Final Cut Pro 5 and all the videos and discussions tell of how to apply transitions between clips in the same track.
I like to have my clips on different tracks so that I can overlap them at specific points but I don't know how to do this?
If I have track one. . .which ends. . .and have track 2 beginning below that (and have it overlapped for a few seconds) I don't know how to enable the transition at the point where track 2 begins.
Can anyone help?

Yep I understand that.
Let's say I overlap track 2 as I don't like the beginning of it. . .so I want the transition from the end of track one to track two to occur in the middle of track 2 - should I just trim the track to the point I want the transition to occur as opposed to have it overlapping?

How can I copy an audio effect from a clip and paste it to another clip in the same timiline...With FCPro 7 it was all so fast........

The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

How can I sync up the IDOC definitions between PI/XI and R3?

XI/PI gurus,
We just applied SAP enhancement packs 4 to our R3 and some XI patches to our XI/PI and now we did not see the messages in our XI QA box after the IDOC was sent out from R3.
We think one possible cause was the IDOC definition are different between our XI and R3.
How can I sync up the IDOC definitions between PI/XI and R3 and not mess up our existing mappings in XI?
Should I just remove the import objects and reipmort the IDOCS from R3 again?
Thanks in advance!
Fisher Li

Use transaction IDX2. The metadata must be deleted from the cache in IDX2, this can be done by selecting the appropriate system from the list, drilling down the affected IDOC type and chosing delete
The next time an IDOC is sent or received, the cache will be refreshed.

How do I make transitions between clips smooth?

how do I make transitions between clips smooth? Right now, when I play my video in imovie, the clips freeze or jump between clips.

Have you tried sharing the final movie using the Share menu, or, alternatively use FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT?
The final product shouldn't have any lag. iMovie itself should not have any lag, but could depending on your Memory and hard disk configuration.

Try using the following code after each time you write to the TextArea. I am assuming you are using a TextArea component and are trying to control the position of where it is scrolled to when it refreshes with the chat data.
"ta" is the instance name of the TextArea
ta.verticalScrollPosition = ta.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

I can't add transitions between clips, but between generated media?!

I can't add transitions between clips, but between generated media?! Any ideas?

I am assumming you are working with "connected clips" which are either above or below the main storyline "track" (the one you put your first project clip onto when you started the project). You can only add transitions to clips that are on either the primary storyline or on a created storyline. Select the clips you are working with then choose the Clip menu and the Create Storyline selection. Make sure snap is set to assure your clips are really butted up against each other. Then apply the transitions.
