How do I get a filter to change its setting as a clip progresses?

(I have a G-5 Mac running 10.5.8 and Final Cut Pro 5).
What I'd like to do is have a ten-second clip begin in black-and-white, and then, as the clip plays, gradually go to full color.
What I tried was to put a keyframe at the beginning of the clip, and use Effects > Video Filters > Image Control > Desaturate, and begin with the clip desaturated, or in black and white.
Then, I moved the playhead about two-thirds of the way down the clip, put in another keyframe, and set the desaturation filter to full color there.
I had hoped that this would result in the clip starting out in black and white, then gradually turning to color.
But, nothing happens. After I set the filter to color at the second keyframe, the whole clip goes back to color, and there is no desaturation at all, anywhere.
Obviously my understanding of applying filters differentially, using keyframes, is incorrect.
Is there a way, then, to apply a filter gradually to a clip?
Any advice most appreciated!

Hmm ... Just tried it on my FCP7 on OS 10.5.8 and it works.  May be time to trash preferences.  Double (triple) check that you don't have keyframes unnecessarily selected, its easily done.
If you're really stuck what about splitting your clip with blade tool at the point you want the change to happen, desaturate one side of the clip and then use a dissolve to control the speed of change.  OR, you could copy the clip, place on top of original, fully desaturate that and use keyframes to control opacity of top clip.  Bet that works ...........

  • How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

    How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

    When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"?  If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
    I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad.  I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors.  Those appear on my iPad.  I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad.  Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?

    Hi NancyS,
    If you're on Windows, you can try using the PDF Desktop printer to "print" your document to PDF format. Here are the instructions for installing and setting up the PDF Desktop printer: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.

  • History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

    History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

    If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:<br />
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
    You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
    Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />

  • The CONTENT tab has NOTHING in it, how can I get it back to change settings?

    Under Tools - Options - Content: The screen has no options, the screen is blank. How can I get it back so I can change the settings for pop-up blockers and such? This is driving me CRAZY!!!!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How can I get my display to change orientation vertical to horizontal

    How can I get orientation of display (vertical to horizontal) to change with phone position

    It should change automatically when you turn the phone but note that there are some screens such as the home screen that do not rotate and some apps that don't support rotation. Also the orientation can be locked. You can turn the lock on or off by opening Control Center (while on the home screen swipe up with one finger starting from below the bottom of the screen). The orientation lock control is on the right end of the top row in Control Center and looks like a lock inside a partially circular arrow. When on, the same icon displays in the menu bar.
