Longer Transitions? Must you use the roll tool every time?

Hello. I'm new to FCE, and while I'm blown away at the possibilities with this editing software, I'm also reaching a point of slight discouragement... simply because of the daunting task of learning it all.
Anyways, here's my question this time around.
I've added several 10 second clips of stills to my timeline. When I add a dissolve transition between them, it automatically inserts the transition in a duration of only 00:00:01. This is obviously annoying. I've learned of the Roll tool, with allows me to drag the desired clips together, and therefore allowing for more room to enter a dissolve of say 1 second.
Isn't there an easier way to do this? Must I use the Roll tool for every point that I'd like to add a 1-second transition? This seem quite excessive, and quite unbelievable. I must be missing something. Is there a way to insert a cross-dissolve and have it automatically roll the clips together? My transition alignment is set to Center, so I don't see why it can't automatically bring :15 frames of the first clip and second clip together.
Please help! Thanks...

Yes, pretty much right at the beginning of the clip. Through experimentation, I believe I've found out that I need to have sufficient frames prefacing the IN point and following the OUT point in order to input a longer transition. Is that correct?
Again I question this though... Is there not a more automatic way to simply add for say, a 2-second transition, or is it essential to manually check the In and Out points of every single clip?
Thanks.

  • Do you get the Installation indicator every time you Restart or Start Up your computer?

    Do you get the Installation indicator every time you Restart or Start Up your computer? On all my computers upgraded to 10.10, I get the Installation "thermometer" indicator every time I Restart or Start Up my computers. In Verbose mode, I see a bash command that is looking for the Installation image to finish its clean up. Does anyone else have this problem? Is the Installation indicator the new "normal" start up and restart screen for 10.10?

    If you are referring to the progress indicator that appears every startup, that is normal. It has replaced the old spinning gear. There's nothing wrong.

  • How do you use the MASK tool with 4K footage?

    Hi everyone!
    Normally when I use the mask tool, I drag it onto the footage and four nodes appear on the clip, one in each corner - and then I can move each corner to where I want it...
    I've just shot some 4k footage using a Canon 1d-c and for some reason, when I drag the Mask onto the footage, the four nodes still appear but I can't move them around!
    Does that make sense?
    Any help would be massively appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    There shouldn't be any difference in being able to adjust them just because you're using 4K. I can't reproduce the problem and can't think of a reason why it would happen. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

  • In mountain lion must you use the cloud?

    I am reading different things about mountian lion and the cloud.
    Do oyu have to use the cloud for things?
    Can you opt out of using the cloud?

    It's your choice to use iCloud or not. If you have more than one Apple device, why wouldn't you use the features that benefit you. You can choose the features you want turned on. You can keep you address book synced between devices, calendars, bookmarks, messages, or PhotoStream. You can use .me email either with or without iCloud, but it's a very simple setup using iCloud by simply turning it on.
    What you want to use is your choice. Take advantage of the features that you can use.

  • I am asked to select an app each time I attempt to open a linked file via a website. How do I tell firefox to use the same app every time?

    I have a website; www.designed4submariners.com. On several pages, I have created links to images which are located in a upload file folder. Each time I click on one of those links on the active website (using Firefox as browser), a dialog box appears asking me: What should Firefox do with this file? Beneath the question is a pull down menu which has "TextEdit (defualt)" selected next to a radio button. The image file will open in a browser window when I select Firefox from that pull down menu. I can not tell Firefox to open all similar files using Firefox. How can I resolve this issue as I must go through the same process each time I attempt to open one of those links.

    Your response identifies the issue exactly! My website is hosted by GoDaddy. I have forwarded your linked information to their tech department. The URL below my signature is the site having the problem I've outlined when attempting to access linked images.

  • How do you use the wdeploy tool in iPlanet Web Server with Windows 2000 Server?

    I found this on the knowledge base, but only described how to use this with Unix. Does this work with Windows? How do you set the IWS_SERVER_HOME environment variable as well? I don't see it in the file.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This is pretty common scenario. The best way to achieve this is to split your servers using a collection and deploy a different client settings. You could target your collection using the OS or an OU in AD. There are many option there.
    You could also limit the access to the Server collection using Role Based Access to avoid any human "errors" on these collections. Users without rights to these collection just won't see them.

  • Is there a hotkey to break the handles of points while you're using the pen tool?

    When you use the pen tool, it smooths the points as you add them, but sometimes I don't want that, So far, the only way I've been able to combat this is by using the pen tool, pressing V to switch to the selection tool, clicking elsewhere to deselect the path, then pressing P to use the pen tool again, and then selecting the end point again.
    This process is becoming very annoying over the course of long projects, and I'm hoping that someone will be able to solve it for my.
    (I specifically want the hotkey for Mac, but it would be good if you could give the PC hotkey too for other people looking at this.)

    Use the Alt-key to switch to the anchor-point-conversion tool temporarily. Use the command key to switch to the last used selection tool temporarily

    How do you use the alignment tools for placing and inserting images in pages 5.2?

    Hi Ivy Janelle,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    In Pages 5, you can insert images using the Media browser at the top of the document window. Once you insert them, you can edit and arrange images using the Format inspector--the paintbrush icon in the top right. You can find detailed information about inserting and using images at these links:

  • Image rotates when using the crop tool

    New to Aperture  my question is when I use the crop tool the image appears to rotate in one direction or the other.  Then of course in limited to the size i can drag out the crop window by the edges of the photo itself.  Any ideas

    If you use the straighten tool first and then select the crop tool, Aperture will show the entire image including the parts that were cropped off during the straighten operation. Other than that, can't think of what you are seeing.

  • When I use the outine tool to cut out a portion of a picture it locks up, is this a program problem

    Working in photo shop 10, when I use the outline tool as I am outlining the picture to cut and paste
    the screen drops down about one inch and locks up. Is this a Photo shop problem or a HP computer problem?

    Sorry, but I don't know what the outline tool is. Are you using the lasso tool? There is a bug in the lasso tool in PSE 10 windows, explained here:

    See post 7. I would just use another tool--try the quick selection tool, for instance.

  • How do you start the Brush tool from a last anchor point?

    Hi there,
    I'm somewhat almost a complete newb to Illustrator, and would really appreciate some help!
    Is there any possible way to continue a brush stroke from your last brush stroke's end point (the anchor point)? For instance, if I drew half of a circle with one brush stroke, and wanted to cleanly complete the circle by having the next brush stroke start from the point where I last finished, how would I do that?
    Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

    What tool did you use to draw? Since you said brushstroke will assume you used the paintbrush tool.
    Double click on paintbrush tool for the options. Change your settings to mine, especially the bottom 2 checkmarks.

  • Using the warp tool I'm stabilizing  my video and getting rid of the edge artifacts. Analyizing is clear on how long the process will take, but when it stabilizes I only get three moving dots. I there a way to know when the process will stop? Thanks.

    I am using the warp tool to stabilize my video and get rid of the edge artifacts.  The program is very clear about how long it will take to analyze, but there is nothing about how long the stabilization will take nor when I know when it is complete.   Thanks ahead of time.

    Warp Stabilising is a two part process.
    Analysis and Stabilising.
    Both have a banner across the Program Monitor during the process ( unless you have turned that off.
    Analysis start automatically on forst application...but you can rock in there and start adjusting the parameters.
    You may need to hit "Analyse" Button again.
    You should see the number of frames and the estimated duration during this process.

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.
