Newbie-help with transitions--ripple dissolve not acting right

I'm a FCP newbie and having a problem with ripple dissolve.
This is what I did: in the TL put clip 1 followed by clip 2. Took the video of clip two and dragged it above clip 1 at the point I want the transition to start. Click on the in point (where the transition is supposed to start.) Select "Ripple Dissolve." Render. And voila, the ripple dissolve looks like a cross dissolve. I experimented with selecting the transition and trading it for a number of other transitions and all of the other transitions work but every time I try Ripple, I get a cross vs the look of a ripple dissolve.
What am I doing wrong?

1) in one instance while the transition works fine, I'd like it to start earlier in the clip and the video to ripple while listening to the audio under. How do I do this?
When you hold the option Key you can select the audio seperate from the video and then put it on two other audio tracks. Then you can OPTION drag the beginning or ending of the audio to the position you want.
2) in another instance, the ripple dissolve works fine, but near the beginning of clip 2, the video fades almost to black, then comes back up again to full color (this is underneath the ripple dissolve)--almost as if there's a crossfade mixed into the ripple dissolve. When I take the transition off altogether, there is no crossfade whatsoever. Any suggestions on how to eliminate this crossfade?
I guess what's happening is that you still don't get the idea of handles completely. Clip 1 needs extra length after the cut (handle). Clip 2 needs extra length BEFORE the cut. (handle)
Do some googling on this topic...

  • Newbie help with SAX, jclark package not found

    I'm trying do a simple SAX exercise. My work files are on my d:\workspace\xml directory and I'm running win2k pro. I have extracted saxjava-1.0.zip to e:\XML\sax, the jdk to e:\j2sdk1.4.0, and james clark xp parser to e:\XML\xp

    Create a procedure to insert a record into the Bill_Items table. All the fields in the Bill_Items table will be specified as para with the exception of the Selling_Price, which will be the Current_Price, retrieved from the Menu_Items table. Do not allow the insert to finish unless there are enough of all ingredients on hand. If the insert is successfull, the quantity field in the Ingredient table will need to be updated accordingly.

  • Help with Sub-catalog CSS not rendering properly

    I am having a issue with  deep Sub-catalogs not displaying an external style sheet, possibly being overwritten by modulestylesheet?
    Sorry if it looks a little sloppy, the site is still a work in progress...
    If you look here at this main catalog : http://www.4plotters.com/shop/   --------- >the css is being applied properly,
    the next level down here : http://www.4plotters.com/shop/Toner-Ink  --------------> css also applied properly.
    but... when you go one more level deep   here : http://www.4plotters.com/shop/Toner-Ink/ink-wide-format  -----> css is not being applied from my external css (much of its functionality is to overwrite the modulestyle sheet) Notice the link colors change to blue, and the catalog images and headers don't match the catalogs before it.
    I have some other external twitter bootstrap css files that are still being applied, so I am a little confused. I am fairly new to css and html (and self taught) so I might be just missing some fundamental precedence rules.
    Thanks in advance!
    *Edit* When I change the parent catalog to the top level "Shop" catalog, the css is once again applied properly. It is something about being 2 or 3 levels deep that breaks the css link.

    Hi,
    Go into your template and remove the ".." prior to the CSS reference to help correct this issue.

  • Newbie: help with join in a select query

    Hi: I need some help with creating a select statement.
    I have two tables t1 (fields: id, time, cost, t2id) and t2 (fields: id, time, cost). t2id from t1 is the primary key in t2. I want a single select statement to list all time and cost from both t1 and t2. I think I need to use join but can't seem to figure it out even after going through some tutorials.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ray

    t1 has following records
    pkid, time, cost,product
    1,123456,34,801
    2,123457,20,802
    3,345678,40,801
    t2 has the following records
    id,productid,time,cost
    1,801,4356789,12
    2,801,4356790,1
    3,802,9845679,100
    4,801,9345614,12
    I want a query that will print following from t1 (time and cost for records that have product=801)
    123456,34

  • Help with transitions.

    I have used imovie for dozens of projects and decided to step up to FCE 3.5. After several hours, reading through several threads on this topic, and the instruction book, I still cant figure out how to put a cross disolve between to separate clips. I got it to work with clips I split with the razor tool, and get get transitions such as fade in/out to work, but I cant seem to do a simple cross disolve between 2 separate clips.
    I prefer the drag-n-drop method for transitions like iMovie. I have two clips side by side and when I try to apply the effect it will only show up on one of the clips. It wont place the effect on both clips. I guess specifically I am having trouble placing a transition centered on an edit point. Is there a simple method to adding transitions like iMovie?
    Please be patient with me I may need step by step instruction

    First off thanks for being patient with me. My current project I am working with is editing wakeboarding video. the reason that half second may be important is because the clips are only 2-3 second long to begin with. But maybe I am not fully clear on how this works.
    It is my understanding that in iMovie when drag a 1 second cross dissolve between 2 adjacent clips, it automatically pulls 15 frames from each clip and puts them into the transition.
    When I click on a clip in the tl to bring it up in to the viewer and mark the out point on one and then the in point on the next, looking at the TL it appears the the content between the two has been removed. Are those frames now gone from the project? If I then put the two remaining clips side by side the cross dissolve works.

  • Newbie Help with videocameras and editing software

    I am a third grade teacher who can whip around in imovie pretty well, but I want to expand and post training videos to the web. I also want to vodcast. I need a relatively easy videocamera, and of course, reasonably priced. I don't understand all the mumbo jumbo about the dvd, tape, flash videocameras except to know that some are not compatible with osx.
    Also would I be better off with Final Cut Pro Express?

    OK now I am looking and I want this camera to be compatible with imovie also. On the Apple support page along side the Canon's I am looking at I see:
    Video stabilization limitations more...
    Filming in Cinema or 24p mode more...
    What? Goodness could this be anymore complicated?
    It's very intimidating at first. The short answer is that all this is compatible with iMovie.
    The longer one is:
    The number refers to frames per second (frame rate, in the jargon). Cine cameras run at 24 frames per second, so 24 fps is considered to give a look to moving objects similar to what you'd see in a filmed movie (think wagon wheels appearing to go backwards in old westerns).
    p refers to progressive, and means that you're getting 24 complete frames each second - again like film (this idea of mimicking film is the holy grail to some video makers - I say video is video, and should be treated like video). The opposite of progressive is i, for interlaced. Interlacing is a technique used in television since the early days as a way of giving you a better looking TV picture; in interlacing, instead of looking at each frame as a whole, you split it into very narrow lines, then scan al the odd ones, followed by all the even ones. In the old days, the scanning had to be linked to the way in which the electricity supply worked, so scanning was based on a frequency of 60 cycles per second (in the USA).
    So in video, you will see camcorders offering a frame rate of 60i as standard - i.e. 60 interlaced frames in one second.. They usually also offer 30p (which combines the results of 2 60i scans to give you 30 complete frames. And then as you've seen, 24p so you can make it look like film.
    You can shoot good movies in any of those frame rates; which ones you choose are up to you, but they're all used by many people for many different purposes. Some people will tell you you must use frame rate x for subject y. Listen, but don't follow blindly - try it out and see what works for you.
    The issue you will sometimes here debated about iMovie is how to take video you have shot interlaced, and get iMovie to export it as progressive, but still in high quality. Don't worry about that right now.
    Just get a camcorder you like, and make some movies. First feel really proud of them, then learn some more, and feel embarrassed by them (this is what we all do!).
    Hope that helps.

  • Itunes  please help with functions (possible or not???)

    Hello
    I´m sorry that my questions are a little long - but please please i´m new with IPod and ITunes - and well at the moment i feel like if i had known how unorganized ITunes is and that i can´t acces the data on my IPod directly i would perhaps not have bought the IPod at all... (but perhaps - i really really hope so - i just cant find out HOW to do all i want and it IS possible after all...) so please take the time and if you know the ansers tell me how to do that...
    Since yesterday i have an IPod classic but unfortunately my own computer has only Windows 2000 - so i have to sync/transfer the Data from my Mom´s PC and so i have to delete the data on her PC after i got them on the IPOD once (and the should stay there untill i´m ready to delete them...)
    1)
    a) what happens if i sync my ITunes/Ipod and i allready deletet most of the music on my moms PC - will the music on the IPod be deleted too? - If yes can i prevent that? (how?)
    b) can i manually choose which titles i want to add/remove to/from my Ipod? i can´t see any way at the moment !!!
    I can see a kind of inventory list of my IPod but i can´t find out how to move Data on/in the folders of the IPod - only by synchronisation - now i know i HAVE allready Data on the IPod but every folder in Itunes of my Ipod is Empty... so how can i acces these data please???
    2)
    My second Problem ist that i can´t find out how to "sort" my chaotic 10.0000 (ok ok not so many right now but getting there some time) different Music-Data into different folders - ok i could add them to diffrent playlists - but one of the main Problems is the fact that many of my data are not properly classified so i need to organize the music so that i "see" only the Music from one particulary folder of my harddisk (then uppdate those information like adding all data from that Folder to a personal "album" or similar...) and every time i add a folder to the mediathek all the songs (different artist, different albums, different everything or missing information) are then spread out all through the music folder and i have to manually search for every single on and then manually add it to a playlist which is more timeconsuming than it is worth it...
    So please help me - HOW DO i make new Folders (NOT PLAYLISTS!!!) in which to sort the music??? so i do not have only ONE Music-Folder but perhaps 2, oder 3 or later more subfolders under the music-Folder?
    If that is really not possible - can i then at least sort my music after path-name (haven´t found out how to do that either yet...)
    3) I have a folder audibooks (which is really really great since i´m an audible customer and have moren then 40 audiobooks allready...) and my audible audiobooks are all added to that folder...
    But i have a few Other Audiobooks in MP3-Format (from MP3 DVD/ and a few CD´s formated as MP3) and even after i uppdated the information so it say´s now audibook in Type - i just can´t find out how to transfer those audibooks to the audiobooks folder (they stay in music-folder and are not found by Ipod as audibooks - only accessible under music with type audibooks which really ***** because that is unnecessary complicated... )
    so how do i get thos books in the audiobooks folder please?
    I hope anyone can help me...
    best regards

    Thanks very much that takes care o my Question 1:
    It really is a great relief so now i know can sync the IPod manually - basically i tried the right things but in the wrong order - lol so i accidently deletet everthing on the IPod again and then i was staring on the blank inventory of my Ipod and wondering why i could not access the music that should be there...
    Still anyone knows an answer to question 2 and 3
    2) is it possible to "sort" Itunes in subfolders - so i can acces only one folder at a time
    3) Is ist possible to somehow classify any type of MP3/similar Data as "audibook" so that Data will show up as audibook on the Ipod? (not as music with type audiobook)

  • Newbie help with editing files in DW CS3

    I am new to using Dreamweaver, and I am having trouble with
    trying to edit existing files using DW CS3. When I open an existing
    file on my local site, DW converts some of the code using &.
    This is a problem because I need to edit the file just as it was
    originally written, so I can save it after editing and upload to my
    website.
    In my Preferences, I have Code Rewriting set to:
    -Rewrite Code: Fix invalidly nexted and unclosed tags
    [Unchecked]
    -Rewrite Code: Rename form items when posting [Checked]
    -Rewrite Code: Remove extra closing tags [Unchecked]
    -Never rewrite code: In files with extensions .as .asr .asc
    .asp .ascx .asmx .aspx .cfc .cfm .cfml .config .cs .ihtml .js .jsp
    .php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul
    -Special characters: Encode <, >, &, and " in
    attribute values using & [Unchecked]
    -URL encoding: Do not encode special characters
    -Active Content: Insert using browser-safe scripts [Checked
    by default]
    -Active Content: Convert tags to scripts on file open
    [Unchecked]
    Today, I opened a file with an .xml extension, and DW rewrote
    the special characters > and '. Since I have in my preferences
    to Never rewrite code in .xml, I don't understand why DW is
    rewriting the code. Also, in my preferences I have unchecked the
    Special Characters, so why is DW still rewriting the code?
    Do I have some of the Code Rewriting preferences set wrong?
    Is there another place I need to tell DW not to rewrite
    existing code?
    Thanks for your help!

    It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
    There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

  • Help with Time Machine Backups not working..

    Let me preface this by saying I have spent the last day scouring the internet for solutions to my problem. I have tried every option that I have run across and have had no luck in resolving my problem. As a last resort, I'm turning here in hopes that you can be of help.
    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Moutain Lion.  I use an external HD for my time machine backups.  I am having an issue with Time Machine not functioning.  The initial error message I receive when I attempt to use TM to backup is:  "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    I searched the forums and net and found several things to do to try and resolve this issue.  My computer will freeze out and not let me erase, or re-partition the the hard drive, so I switched it over to an older macbook of my girlfriends and am successfully able to erase, and re-partition the drive (using disk utility) as suggested by several forum postings I have read.  I am able to run disk verify and disk repair and both say the disk is "ok" with no issues.  The moment the erase and partition is done, her computer prompts a message : "Would you like to use this disk for Time Machine Backups" which tells me it is working properly.  When I move it back to my macbook pro and attempt to run TM backup, it will now work and copy about 10g of my 120g before shutting down with this error message:
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk".  An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
    If i attempt to re-run TM at that point, I get the original error message:
    "Time machine couldn't coplete the backup to Rick's backup disk". "Unable to complete backup. an error occurred while creating the backup folder".
    If I move the TM back to my Girlfriends computer and attempt to run TM, it will function properly and backup her entire harddrive.  When I erase and try again on mine, I always end up back with the same issues.  It's clearly something in my macbook that is screwing it up.  Can anyone please offer some help! I'd be much appreciative.

    See #C10 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Rick's Backup Disk".  An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk."
    Not one of Apple's more informative messages. 
    There's a problem with a file on your system.  See #C3 in the above link. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, what you've done, and the results.

  • AS 2.0 help with transitions

    i'm wondering what the best method is to apply the same
    transtion to multiple images in a photo based site.
    i've created a fade in as my transition (see attached code)
    and would like to apply the same effect to all images in the site.
    thanks in advance for the help.

    thanks for the help. things are working more or less....
    just wondering how to apply it across several frames. i've
    placed the code on the first frame of each image section, but it
    seems to only work for that one frame. perhaps i'm not placing the
    code in the proper section.
    any advice?
