I want to add smooth transitions without freeze frames?

I usually edit wedding videos with various short clips. I want to be able to add default transitions to all of the clips at once. When I do add transitions to all most clips have freeze frames. I've heard about handles, and having enough frames for the transitions but my clips are already as
short as they need to be. I do not want to have to crop each clip. I want to have transitions run between clips not at the start of the 2nd clip. I've used pinnacle before and the transitions are always in between clips. So i am wondering if there is an easier way to set up transitions.

I would also suggest change your shooting style if you intend to use transitions or have flexibiltiy for your edits.
They are full clips. As shot. I only shoot what I need and I can't afford to crop from what I already have.
In my opinion its impossible to shoot exactly the duration required with the exception of animation / stop motion... and be able to pace and structure an edit.
Especially a Wedding video which is basically a documentary on the wing!

I want to add disolve transition across multiple images?

In FCP7 I just select all the images in the bin and drag them over the Canvas window and select insert with transition. Is there a way to do this same thing in FCPX? Thanks.

Just select all the clips you want the transition applied to and then either double click the transition or drag it to the project and drop it on one of the selected clips.

Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

Add Freeze Frame not an available option

Using iMovie 10.0.5 I have imported video from my camera and want to take a number of freeze frames. With the bar over the frame I want to freeze, I Control/click and it gives me the menu, but Add Freeze Frame is greyed out and not available. Any ideas

I have just struggled needlessly with this. Add Freeze Frame still appears in the menu if you ctrl-click a clip in the library, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. It now also appears in the modify menu though. Drag the clip to the timeline, step the video to the frame you want, and then choose Modify > Add Freeze Frame, or option-F.

Freeze Frame Jittery in DVD

I did a freeze-frame on the last frame of a video segment. I saved the frame as the default .bmp format. I then made it 7 seconds in length with a fade-out.
My problem is that when burned to a DVD, instead of being solid, the freeze frame jitters badly.
It seems smooth in PRE (v7). It seems smooth when I play the exported .AVI in Windows Media Player (although it looks all interlace-y). I was going to try "Frame Blend", which fixes some jitters on time-stretched video, but that option is grayed out for stills.
Is there something I can do to prevent the jitter? It really ruins the effect I was going for!

Well, good news! I got it working. My freeze frame is now rock-solid!!
I did the Flicker Removal - that's a good tip to know. It's now on my "cheat sheet".
One odd thing I noticed was when I opened the "freeze frame" .BMP that PRE had generated, the .BMP itself had interlace lines in it! Obviously I didn't want that, so I did the freeze frame again. But this time, the exported .BMP was fine (no interlace lines).
I don't think I did anything differently. About the only thing I can think of is that currently the clip is Time Stretched and Frame > Blended. Maybe when I did the original freeze frame (that gave me an interlaced .BMP) it was either not Time Stretched and/or not Frame > Blended?

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

I have over 5000 songs on my ipod and can not see a way of keeping them if I want to set up a new itunes libary. I want to add my tunes from my ipod to a new itunes libary without it saying it will wipe what I already have. please help

Hi everyone.
I had an itunes account for my classic and a few months ago wanted to add my daughters ipod to it. it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account and asked me if i wanted it to link her ipod and delete the current libary. like a fool i said yes. now i have a party comming up and cant plug my classic in without it saying if i sync it will wipe my 6000 songs and leave me with the new blank itunes that i have just set up.
what i want to do is add my 6000 songs to a new apple id libary/itunes without it wiping all my songs. does anyone know how to do this.
help thanks

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

3)How we add admin privilages for activex in firefox.
. please help me

I got solution for this problem,
1) I have added User.js file in default profile folder of mozilla i.e
C:\Users\xpointers\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xb2fxdxi.default, I have added in user.js
user_pref("extensions.ietab2.filterlist", "/^file:\\/\\/\\/.*\\.(mht|mhtml)$/ http://*update.microsoft.com/* http://www.windowsupdate.com/* http://www.UrWebsiteUrl.com/* ");
You can add n number of url for running In IETAb or IEtab2.
User.js file overwrites prefs.js file .
2) for adding extensions automatically need to add addon, using code and need to change extensions.json file for new version of firefox ,for older version of firefox need to change in sqlite database.

I have Office 2012 for Mac. I want to add Outlook without restarting a trial of Office 2012. How can I do it?

I have Office 2012 for Mac. I want to add Outlook without restarting a trial of Office 2012. How can I do it?

To help with nomenclature: iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones and iPods. OS-X is the operating system for Macs (versions are 10.xxx with the latest being Mountain Lion (10.8.5 is the current patch level)).
Now, to answer your question: MS Office for the Mac does not give you the ability to individually install, or remove, components like the Windows version. It is an all or nothing proposition. So, Outlook should already be there. If not, you will need to reinstall the entire package.

Best way for add thousans items to listbox without freezing ui in wpf

Hello guys.
What is the best way for add thousands items (or even more) to Listbox without freezing UI.
I search many post in the web but I don't understand how this posts writer wrote that code.
I realized that ObservableCollection can contain 1000 items or even more and show that items to listbox just for few second without freezing UI but I don't Know how can I use that!
Can you guys give me an example.
thanks.

If you bind an observablecollection you can add items to that from a background thread. Then bind that to the itemssource. I usually new up an observablecollection, add the items then set the bound property to that.
But I avoid thousands of items.
You should provide some sort of filter mechanism the user chooses a category or whatever and then fill with a maximum of 300 items.
Users simply can't work with thousands of items.
It is usually reading the data out a database which takes the time rather than creating objects to bind.
Hence this:
protected async override void GetData()
ThrobberVisible = Visibility.Visible;
ObservableCollection<CustomerVM> _customers = new ObservableCollection<CustomerVM>();
var customers = await (from c in db.Customers
orderby c.CustomerName
select c).ToListAsync();
foreach (Customer cust in customers)
_customers.Add(new CustomerVM { IsNew = false, TheEntity = cust });
Customers = _customers;
RaisePropertyChanged("Customers");
ThrobberVisible = Visibility.Collapsed;
That's making an asynchronous entity framework call.
A list of customers is obtained.
These are then wrapped in a customer viewmodel each.
Finally the observablecollection Customers is set to this new collection and propertychanged raised to notify the view.
The itemssource of a datagrid is bound to Customers.
Hope that helps.

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.

I want to add an album to iWeb from a folder on my desktop but I do not want to first add it to iPhoto, is there a way I can add a photo to iWeb without it being from iPhoto?

Yes. You want to add photos from a folder on the desktop to an existing iWeb album page? Just bring up the page in iWeb and drag the photo into the group of thumbnails that are displayed on the page and move it to where you want it locate
