How can I insert transitions between clips?

I finished editing my seperate clips and now want to insert transitions between the clips, but that menu option is grayed out, so is the Movie Properties menu. What do I do?

Clips are in a Project timeline?
just drag the transition btw. them ...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I put transitions btw clips that both use green screen?

    Seems that when I drop the transition between the clips (between the backgrounds -- it won't let me drop the transition between the videos shot with the green screen), it then pushes the green screened video clips together, and the transition doesn't play at all!

    iMovie does all rendering in one pass. This effect would require a nested render, which FCP excels at.
    If you want to do this in iMovie, do the first green screen clip. Share it using Export Using QuickTime in Apple Intermediatae Codec. Do the same with the second green screen clip. Then import both clips into an iMovie event. Now you can drag both these clips into a project and put a transition between them.

  • How can I insert space between a bullet character and text?

    I imported my FrameMaker file and template into RoboHelp 7.
    After the conversion to RoboHelp, the bullet characters are too
    close to the paragraph text that follows. I was able to change the
    span's spacing in the Font dialog box's Spacing tab to expand the
    space. How can I apply this to all bullets in the topic?

    I am so dense... I re-read this thread.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65&catid=680&threadid =1348980&enterthread=y
    AJ Owens suggested that we remove "Pre" from the User Defined
    HTML Tag field box in the Style Settings dialog box. When I
    initially accessed this box, I experimented with checking and
    unchecking the Convert Autonumber to HTML list box, but it never
    occurred to me to clear the User Defined HTML Tag field of "Pre".
    Now that I have cleared it, I am able to make changes in the Style
    Sheet Editor. (I can expand spacing so that I now see more space
    between the bulleted and numbered characters and the text that
    follows.)

    how can i make a transition between clips on cutaway?

    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 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 insert a code to switch between channels?

    I’ve got a HP4263A LCR meter which is being used with an ER-18 device to get multiple channel data acquisition, when I go to getting started to trigger the device, but this VI do not have an icon to change the channel how can I insert a code to switch between channels?

    I am just trying to use the drivers developed by NI for this device, but I don't know how to work on them to obtain data from three points, or three channels which I am using from an ER-16 device. So all what I have is the driver VI for the HP4263A.the only VI I can use is getting started, because whe I try to run any other one, this message appears:

  • In GB, I need to insert an audio track. When I try, it obliterates part of the adjacent bridge (track). How can I insert an audio track in an audio timeline without stepping all over clean material? Is it possible to recover the "clean" track bridge?

    Am doing an audio timeline in GB. Need to insert a corrected section of track. When I try the insert, it knocks out the top part of the adjacent track bridge/element. How can I insert cleanly in a timeline? Is it possible to "recover" the good track that was "stepped on?"

    Undo what?
    Insert in a new track?
    I don't think so. I've started an audio book and I'm doing chapter long segments (assuming I can make simple corrections, such as ones made in iMovie and numerous other video editing programs. Routine edits in GB are simple and intuitive. I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that I'm prevented from doing a simple drag and drop, import or paste a two-sentence audio clip. Nor can I find any reference to straightforward audio elements.
    Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated.

  • How can i insert a song in a keynote presentation?

    How can i insert a song in a keynote presentation?
    Thanks for tour help.

    Hmmm... I made the opening in motion, and have set it as a opening bumer. So what I typically do is drag it in to the project time line from the right side of the screen (where my bumbers are) and then add the audio (from itunes) on top of it. So that audio is being duplicated on every single event. This was the only way I knew to do it so I could easily change the date without having to always set the right keyframes. (If there is an easier way, please let me know.)
    For the ending bumber I just use a small video clip I made and insert it in each timeline. So I'm assuming that is also being duplicated every single time.

  • How can I copy a short clip?

    Hello All,
    When I have a project in the timeline how can I copy a short clip? Sometimes I will make an edit so I will end up with a 5 second shot and I want to put a copy of that shot above it in video track 2 so I can do some matte work. I have tried a few things, but I can't figure out how to copy just that small clip. Is there a duplicate button or something like that so it just makes a clone of that shot?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Hi Michael,
    Select the clip in the timeline, hold down the Option and Shift keys, and drag it to the place in the timeline you'd like to copy it to. Let go of the mouse to perform an Overwrite Edit and place the duplicated clip where your mouse was pointing to. To do the same thing but perform an Insert Edit, only hold down the Option key when dragging.

  • How Can I put A quicktime clip into keynote??

    Two Questions,
    One:
    How Can I put a "get a mac" commercial into keynote. (Like how do i download it and how do i put it in)
    Two:
    If I download a quick time clip (say, pirates of the Caribbean 2 commercial) How can I insert it into keynote??
    Zach

    You can put a QuickTime clip on a Keynote slide just by dragging the movie file onto the slide. If the clip is in your Movies folder in your home directory, you can also use the Media browser to insert it. Finally, you can use the Insert menu, and use the Choose... item to pick the file.
    To grab one of the "Get a Mac" ads, go to the ad page. Hover your cursor over the thumbnail of the ad, hold down the Control key, and click and hold the mouse button to pop up the contextual menu. Choose "Download Linked File", and the file should be saved to your hard drive.

  • How do I insert a video clip into the timeline?

    Do you happen to know how I could insert a video clip into the middle of a movie like you do in FCP? Can you add tracks and insert the clip above the spot i need to change for each movie.
    I don't want to render the whole movie (convert it into a MPeg2) each time.

    No - DVD timelines are a little different to FCP. If you need to add a clip to the stream, you need to split the exisitng clip (you could trim it back to where you want to insert the new piece) and drag the new piece onto the same timeline. If you trimmed the existing piece then add another instance of it to the timeline and trim the new part from the left until you get to what you want as the out point.
    If you have a collection of video clips on your DVDSP timeline, simply dragging a new one on will shuffle the others along appropriately. However, the audio will not shuffle with them, and you'll end up moving it all manually.
    The very best thing is to create the timeline precisely as you want it in FCP and encode it to MPEG2 before bringing it in to DVDSP. Remember that DVDSP is not an editor, it is a place to assemble your work - it won't do anything remotely like FCP in that respect.

  • How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

    hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
    i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
    r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
    function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

    i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
    a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
    this motion tween covers the whole time line (  there is only 50 frames in the time line)
    i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
    and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
    every thing till now working well
    i want to make that MC dragabble
    so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
    and when i drop it i will use play()
    but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
    his motion tween movement when i drop it
    for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
    in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
    but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
    here is the example wich i am worikng on
