I am trying to put a transition between two clips and it's not going.

I am working in FInal Cut Pro X and until now have had no problem putting trasitions into my timeline. Now I'm trying to put it between two video clips and it's not even moving there. Is there something I might have turned off that's not allowing me to do this

You mean red like this
That's the end of the media. No handles for an overlap. You can still do a full overlap transition, but it will shorten the project and shift the content.

Transitions between split clips don't work properly

If I split a clip in the project area, then put a transition between the two new clips, the transition doesn't work properly. It is most obvious with the Cross Dissolve, which doesn't work at all. Some of the others sort of look like they are working, but if you look closely, they are not working correctly- i.e. not in the same way that transitions between two clips dragged separately to the project area from the events area work.
Any one else notice this, or better yet, have a fix?

OK- I discovered a work-around.
In the project area if you select the split part following the transition, Cut it (Command x) then Paste it (Command v) back in the proper place, the transition works properly. Usually cutting and pasting the following half of a split clip fixes the transition, but sometimes I have to cut and paste both the part before the transition and the part after it to get things to work right.

Is there a way to apply the same transition between all clips?

Or is there a way to apply random transitions? Either way I'm too lazy to drag a transition between every clip and hope there's a bulk way I haven't found yet. I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.2 (267).
Thanks!
--Daniel

Daniel,
To apply the same transition between all clips, select all the clips, select the transition (and timing) then click ADD (at the bottom right of the transitions screen). The transitions will be rendered, one at a time between all the clips. If you wish to change the transition, again select the required clips, select the new transition, then click UPDATE.
I'm not aware of any way to apply random transitions.

Inserting a clip between two clips

I'm trying to insert a clip between two clips yet still having everything from all V/A 1,2,3,4,etc. layers to move along with whatever clip is moved down the line. Everyone keep saying: Use the ctrl key! but all that does is indeed move some of it down but it cuts bits of the video in the process. I'm not sure how to solve this. I simply want to drag and drop an item between two clips and not cut or mess up any additional V layers.

You can load a title into the Source Monitor by dragging it there from the Project Panel. But you can also use the insert command directly from the Project panel, via either the context menu or the same shortcut.
Be aware that if the sequence has In/Out points set, then the Insert & Overwrite commands will insert the selected source into that range. This is known as 3-point or 4-point editing (depending on whether you have both in & out points set in both the source and the sequence). If In/Out points are not set in the sequence, then the source is inserted at the playhead's position in the Timeline.
Also, source patching controls which tracks the clip is placed on. If you're not familiar with source patching, this tutorial video is worth watching.

Inserting video between two clips

Hi does anyone know how to insert video between two clips without erasing some of the two clips. I want to insert and have the other clips just make room for the new clip, extending the timeline the necessary amount. I thought you could just drag it in but it keeps erasing the existing footage in the timeline. Any advise would be awesome

Make sure the playhead is parked between two clips, and drag the clip from the browser/viewer to the canvas, dropping it on the "insert" box in the edit overlay. Or you could drag the clip from the viewer/browser to the timeline but make sure the arrow that appears is facing to the right, not down.

IDVD is producing DVDs which chop the edges off my video. I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 but it hasn't helped. My TV is definitely on the correct settings. How can I solve this?

One way to to put the videos into an iDVD slideshow
and set iDVD's Slideshow preferences to always scale slides to TV Safe Area.
However, some users have reported that the audio quality using this method is lessened. I've not noticed it but then I don't have a good ear when it comes to that sort of thing. If you add more than one video in the same slideshow do not select any transition.

How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

Greetings -
Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have. I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means. I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip. If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip? I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Andy

Basic transition between two pictures (MCs)

I'm trying to implement a typical gallery fade transition
between two pictures when a thumbnail is clicked, but the tweens
aren't showing. The individual pic information is loaded from an
XML file, not the library. The correct picture is displayed, but it
just flickers as if I was doing a straight assignment and the
tweens weren't even there.
I've got one MC on the top layer to hold the old image, and
one on the bottom layer to load the new image. When it's loaded I
want to fade out the top and fade in the bottom. At one point while
playing around I did get one of the tweens to work but at the wrong
time, so is this a timing issue?
A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated!
David

Not really, it was more for organizational purposes when I
was starting out. At this point it's all down in just one layer.
As I understand it, the screen does not update during the
event, only after. Which would explain why things aren't doing what
I expect. But if that's the case, where should the transitions be
implemented? Every example I've found so far has all the images
added to the library at design time, or does a workaround like
having the image slide in and out of the screen so you don't need a
transition.
I tried putting the tweens in the photoLoader complete event
and that didn't work either.

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

Sig. T.T. Romano,

I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

IMovie HD 6 - Cannot insert transitions between short clips

I am attempting to assemble a movie using several short (8-15 second) clips. When I attempt to insert transitions, I get the following message:
"You cannot apply a transition between very short clips. They must each be at least 3:49:16 long."
I assume they mean 3 min, 48 sec, 16 frames. I don't remember having this issue before.
Is this something wrong with my installation, or do you really need 4 minute clips?

No, your iMovie program is acting strangely. For some reason iMovie believes that you are trying to insert a transition of almost 4 minutes duration between two clips of 15 seconds duration. (I can't recall any transitions longer than 10 seconds.) So it is giving you a message that your clips need to be longer.
When iMovie starts acting strangely, a commonly done procedure is this: Shut down iMovie and trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new file on relaunch. Also, do a simple permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk utility application on your Mac. Then launch iMovie and see if your transitions work.
If your transitions still don't work, make sure that your Quicktime is updated to current version, and do a permissions repair like above after updating.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.

Transition between two movies

Let us know.
There are bluray menu limitations; they don't come up often, and I do not understand some of them. For example, there is a limit in Encore of 32 buttons per menu. (That does not appear to be a problem for you.) There is a limit to the size of all interactive graphics in each title (which includes a menu as a title). I don't understand that one.
I would do a test project, starting over, and building a less complex project that still has the essential features.
I have found Total Media Theater 5 to perform very much like a bluray player. But, yes, ultimately you've got to burn to a disk and test it on a bluray player.

Can I have a movie as a transition between two submenus? (iDVD)

I was wondering if it's possible to have a movie file as a transition between two menus on iDVD? All I can see is the preset ones (dissolve, droplet, fade through black etc.). What I'd like is to use a very short QT file with a few quick sweeping shots of the content that is going to be showcased on the next menu. I've seen it in quite a few Hollywood film DVDs and wondered if it was possible to do on simple ole' iDVD. Apologies if this question has already been asked. This is my first post so new to this forum lark- I did do a search though but nothing relevant came up...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy.

Although that's an idea, I still don't think there's any physical way to have a movie end and redirect to any menu except the original one on which it was clicked. In other words, playing a movie on an iDVD-made DVD is always a dead end and will come up with the same menu when it ends. I probably need to learn DVD studio pro I'm sure I'd be able to produce more polished stuff too.

To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

I am trying to put a transition between two clips and it's not going.
