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.

Can't Add Transitions/All Clips Stacked in one Box in Sceneline

Help-
I'm a total newbie with Premier Elements 7, but I'm about ready to throw a brick through my monitor.
I'm in Sceneline, and when I drag clips, they all get stacked on top of one another in the left box. I can't add transitions (I can find them, but when i drag them onto the transition arrows nothing happens).
What is the trick to dragging clips into new entries on the Sceneline?
Thanks in advance!
Dean

The audio format (stereo or 5.1 surround sound) of your video does not match the audio format of the project preset you selected. In Timeline mode the first three tracks are reserved for the audio format determined by the project preset. If you use another audio format it will be placed on track 4. When this happens you can not see the clips in Sceneline mode... they are stacked as you are seeing.
Solution is to either use Timeline mode or if you wish to use Sceneline mode you have to use the correct project preset. HOWEVER... PE7 only supports 5.1 audio in AVCHD high definition projects... so if you have standard definition with 5.1 audio you have no choice other than to use Timeline mode. If you want to do any serious editing you will really need to use this mode anyway.

Can't add Transitions b/w LiveType clips in FCE

I'm making small promo movie in FCE, with a lot of LiveType clips interspersed with some movie clips (Apple Interm. Codec--but I've also tried using DV-NTSC). My problem: when I've strung together several LT clips (.ipr--but also .mov after rendering) I can't add transitions b/w them in FCE (and can't add trans. b/w a LT and movie clip). I get msg: "insufficient content for edit."
I don't understand well the whole codec process. I've read here that the properties need to be the same b/w LT and FCE, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. The property options in both programs have slightly different presets and I've tried to match the codec & aspect ratios etc. as best I can. Since I don't know what I'm doing in this area, I've tried to match things up as best as possible, yet no luck.
BUT, even when I've opened a brand new project in FCE, brought in several .ipr clips (w/out bringing in any movie clips), I still can't add transitions b/w .ipr clips (or LT .mov files).
Help! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

OKay, but how do i do it..
I have 2 movies...I want a transition of 2 seconds..do i Mark in from the point of the first movie where i want to have the transition to start ? And out in the 2nd movie where i want it to finished (maximum) ?
Or do i mark out on the first movie and mark in on the 2nd movie ?
The whole day i am trying things but nothing works for me.
I even did see a video tut that says it's because the videos are not NTSC...But they are HD so that wouldn make a problem ? Or does it ?
Sorry for these simple questions but there is no tut in my language and i can't find a forum that explains it in dutch..
Thanks in advance

Can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, rather than single actions only?

can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, or only a single transition between two individual clips, which then must be repeated throughout the entire timeline? It would save time to do entire timeline with one transition action.

As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

Can't add transitions, titles

Hi,
I have iMovie 4 and I am trying to add transitions and titles to color clips that I have placed in my imovie. I know you are supposed to be able to "drag" titles on to the clip that you want, but there is nothing for me to drag. I am at a loss. I can't add transitions either. Please help! My first experience using iMovie has been completely awful. I thought this was supposed to be user-friendly...

You are supposed to drag the name of the title/transition from the list.

Can you add transitions in iMovie11 between two freeze frames?

I am trying to add a transition between two freeze frames but when I do, my entire movie goes black and appears to freeze. My freeze frames are over 30 seconds long so timing shouldn't be an issue. Any suggestions?

As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

Can't drag transitions or clips in FCPx 10.0.6

Hi,
After working in FCPx for a while, at some point, either after deleting a transition or something, I lose my ability to drag transitions or clips to the time line. I don;t get the hand pointer or anything. I just can't 'pick them up' to drag them.
I am using FCPX 10.0.6 and OSX 10.7.5 on a dual CPU, Gen 2, 8 Core Mac Pro with Raid drives and a 5770 HD Apple ATI, 12GB Ram.
Workarounds
- If I restart FCPX I can go to the same cut and easly drag and drop the transition.
- If I right click the transition and set it as default, I can add it using command-T.
- When I can't drag clips from the even viewer, command-E works and then I can re-arrage them in the project timeline.
What I am hoping here is for someone to say "Oh you are inadvertently putting FCPX into 'non-drag and drop mode', just press command-something to get your drag and drop back."
It is an annoyance, but due to the fact that it works after FCPX restart with exactly the same project and process I think it may be a bug or I am getting into some mode.
Thanks, Greg

Try trashing your Preferences.
This is commonly used as a remedial procedure in Applications like FCP X where preference files occasionally get corrupted and can cause unusual problems.
The simplest way to do it is by using Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion. (Free App).
With Preference Manager, you can back-up your existing preferences before trashing them, so that if the Preferences were not the cause of the problem, you can restore them with a mouse click.
This is the link for the latest version - there are links to older versions on the right of the page.

Trying to add transition between two videos?

I have to clips of video both around 5 secs each. They were both .mov files but when I try to add a transition between them it doesn't work.

Your clips need "Handles".

Can't add transitions to either LT files or .mov

Hi,
I'm trying to and some transitions for a title sequence, I've created the titles in LiveType, when I either use the LiveTYpe files or rendered out files.
I can a transition into the first title but no more.
Any ideas?

Do you have enough Media Handles to create
transitions?
Open a clip into the Viewer and see where the in/out
points are, if they are at the very start or end of
the clip there is no Media Handles available for FCE
to use for transitions.

~bangs head on desk~ thanks, that's fixed it, some days I can be really thick...
I guess it's just going to be one of those days today.
I could have sworn that I'd dropped titles/video clips in and used transitions before without havign set in and out...
It's working that's what matters.
Thanks again

just think about the voice setting when you go to the record you should find mono and stereo. I have only mic volume -cd volume and line volume i should have mono mixer and stereo mixer also.
So can i add them to the list ?? For example when you use paltalk program you can play music from your computer in the room so all in this room can hear it eaven if you adjust your volume to mute,this is using mixer mono or stereo.
I hope i explane it for you. Thanx

Can't add transitions in FCE 4?

Just upgraded to FCE 4 from 3HD. I can't seem to be able to insert any transitions between video clips anymore. What am I missing?

Idk, its extremely simple. In the left window pane go to effects and select video transitions to trigger the drop down. Choose the desired transition and drag to the timeline.

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.

Can't add mailboxes to gmail but when I try the same procedure with Bell mail I don't get an edit button so can't add any mailboxes.

I have 2 email accounts Gmail and Bell mail. I can add mailboxes to gmail but when I try the same procedure with Bell mail I don't get an edit button so can't add any mailboxes.

Mailboxes can be added only to IMAP accounts. Is Bell setup as IMPAP or POP?

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