Page Peel Transition

Hi, all.
I'm trying to use a page peel transition between two clips, but it's not working what I would consider correctly. These two clips ARE SNAPPED END-TO-END, so there's no gap between them and no blank frame in either one.
However, when I add the page peel to the end of the first clip, the clip peels off revealing a BLACK background. Once the transition is finished, the first frame of the 2nd clip appears.
What I WANT to happen is for the page peel of the first clip to reveal the beginning of the 2nd clip below instead of just a black/empty frame.
Is there some setting to make this work right? Putting the transition at the beginning of the 2nd clip didn't do it either. That just makes the black frame appear before the 2nd clip starts. It looks even weirder actually.
Anyhow, I'd appreciate your help. Transitions overall in FCE just aren't working intuitively for me. It's rare that I want to transition between a clip and, essentially, nothing (or a matte or whatever). I almost always want to transition BETWEEN TWO CLIPS, but FCE doesn't appear to do that.
Cheers,
ALF

With your added explanation it makes sense. As I suspected, this is a paradigm issue. I didn't realize one had to move the in & out points in order to "make" handles. One does not need to change in & out points when adding transitions to the beginning or end of a single clip, so this inconsistency threw me for a loop.
I'm not sure why the rules are different for one clip versus two, but based on how much this confuses people Apple should really make a HUGE point of explaining this in the online help or something. Especially since manually moving in & out points to allow transitions is done differently in most other software, including iMovie. Just my $0.02.
Given how this works, it would make a lot of sense to be able to arbitrarily extend a clip within FCE by holding the last frame. But I don't see how to do that off-hand. The page you reference mentions a "Ripple" tool, but is that what a ripple tool does? That part of the web page didn't make sense to me, but probably because I'm unfamiliar with that paradigm as well.
Definitely thanks for the clarification and education, though!
Cheers,
ALF

How to de-interlace Page Peel transition?

I've used the FCE 4 Page Peel transition a number of times in a sequence I've been working on. When I was ready to export to a self-contained QuickTime Movie, I selected the entire NTSC anamorphic sequence and applied the De-interlace filter (the original video came from an SD camcorder recording in 16:9 format). After exporting the QuickTime movie and play it in the QuickTime Player, each Page Peel transition exhibits pretty severe interlacing artifacts (i.e., the edge of the peel has an obvious “comb” appearance instead of a sharp edge.
Is there any simple way to fix that? I tried going back and applying the De-interlace filter to each Page Peel transition, but all the Video Effects->Video filters where usually disabled (I did figure out how to make them enabled by a series of actions), but that didn't seem to affect the transitions.
Thanks.

No, I haven't displayed it on a TV CRT. This project will be burned on a DVD, and some will watch it on a computer, while others will watch on DVD players attached to TVs.
I've seen the interlacing artifacts on my Mac when I play back QuickTime movies from FCE that weren't de-interlaced before exporting: comb-like fringes along edges of moving objects. De-interlacing removes that in the moving images. I'm just trying to figure out how to get it out of the Page-Peel transitions, if possible.
I guess it brings up an interesting question. For video that will be played on both computers and TVs, is it better to leave interlacing alone, or to de-interlace. What looks worse: interlaced video on a computer display, or de-interlaced video on a standard (non-progressive) TV? I don't have much experience with the finer points of interlacing yet, so I'd be interested in what others on this forum think about this.

"Page peel" transition not working...

I have overlaid a graphic onto my timeline (oops, I mean storyline) and I want it, and only it, "lay" onto the image in a Page peel manner. The trouble is though that the entire screen image is being overlaid as opposed to just the graphic. Anyone have any idea how I can get the transition to just affect the graphic and not the entire screen?
Thanks.

Perhaps you need to clarifywhat your problem is. Maybe post some screenshots because it works perfectly for me.
Make sure you have the Direction popup set correctly.
This is the image curling onto the screen.
That's the image curling off.

Page Peel Transition Problem

I can't seem to manipulate this transition to work properly - Although I set it to 'peel' from one still image clip (A) to another still image clip (B), it is only revealing the very same clip (A) underneath until about a quarter of the way through the transition when it jumps to image (B) - not at all like turning the page of a book.
I am a new user, but I've tried changing every variable in the transition settings with no success. Is there something I'm missing?
iMac with intel Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Sounds as though you don't have enough Media Handles to allow the transition to work.
Search this forum for Handles or media Handles, there's plenty of info. The manual will explain it as well.

Page Peel

I want to use the Page Peel transition between two Text generated clips.
I would like to set the background color for the Text Generator to something other than black to achieve the right Page Peel effect.
How is this done?
Thanks

Create a color matte or other image that you want to use as the backing. Drag it into the Well in Page Peel filter controls. That's the little depressed icon with sprocket holes on the sides.

Page peel problem

Hi All,
I'm trying to use page peel to transition between 2 scenes in fcp. The problem I have is that when the upper page peels away, it's still displaying its' contents on the lower page. Then, when the peak of the transition is reached , the upper page then displays the contents of the lower page.
Is there a way to do the peel, where the upper page displays the contents of the out-going clip and the lower page displays the contents of the in-coming clip?
Thanks in advance,
John.

I can't duplicate your problem. You are adding the page peel to the end of the outgoing clip, correct?
What you could try as a work around is to move the outgoing clip to a higher track (hold shift while dragging to lock movement to vertical) add the transition and drag the incoming clip's starting point underneath the transition.
Edit: Just like Megs illustration below in fact....

How do I create a "page peel" effect?

is there an effect or 3rd party filter that allows me to lift just the corner of video to reveal something beneath, and then to bring the corner back down. I've seen this in Johnson Wax spots. Corner lifts to reveal their logo. Don't need a full transition like "page peel" . Thanks for all help

You could use the 'Curl' filter...Effects/Video Filters/Perspective/Curl.
Tweak the settings and keyframe the movement to taste.

Is there a page curl transition for iBooks Author?

Does anyone know why there isn't a page curl transition for books created in iBooks Author? There should also be a flipboard transition available as well.

It seems the Apple Pages app exports to the ePub format. This is what some may be looking for.
If one wishes to proof on Touch or iPhone, or if one wants the page curl effect, look into Pages and iTunes. Here is the link I found.

To be clear, this is a step back from what iBooks Author provides overall. But, in my case, it's what the kids wanted.

Bug in Page Turn transition?

I copied and burned a photo slideshow with music from iPhoto. There were 237 pics. I used random transitions. Ken Burns Effects were off. Everything looks great except that just prior to the page turn transition, the picture fades for a half second or so just before the transition starts. It only happens on this particular transition. Is this normal?

Can you automate 'page turn' transition when exporting a document to Flash?

I have created a multi-page document with a page turn transition which I have exported to Flash to upload to a website. The page turning works fine manually but I want to automate the effect, remaining on each page for 30 seconds before automatically turning. Is there a way of doing this? Any advice gratefully recieved!

Only if you export using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Not if you're using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print),

Page Peel Help Needed.

Cheers, been struggling with this and would like to know if anyone can shed some light. I have a Page Peel here that works fine in a plain index.html with nothing except the peel on it:
Here are the source and picture:
The problem is when I try to apply the Page Peel to my existing high_res.html, it doesn´t work, it only shows my flash movie background but no peel!
Here are the source and picture:
Here is the code used on my high_res.html
// Forneça um conteúdo alternativo para navegadores que não oferecem suporte // para scripts, ou para aqueles em que os scripts estejam desativados. O conteúdo HTML alternativo deve ser inserido aqui. Este conteúdo requer o Adobe Flash Player. Obter o Flash
I have no idea what can be wrong here, been doing some research and read something about pagel peel being under flash file due to lack of transparancy, but I gave up, headache is getting stronger.
Hope someone can help me out here.
Thanks

Problem solved!
Great thing about receiving no help is having to somehow figure it all out by yourself.
Mission accomplished.

Page turn transitions

I know this isn't the most important function of captivate,
but my work is currently looking to buy captivate, and this is
something t hat will make people make their mind's up whether to
buy flash or captivate.. Does captivate have the ability to have a
page turn transition between slides - i.e. like a book, so we could
create e-books where you can turn the page by clicking. (see link
for example
http://www.sades-world.com/)

Hi again
You might take a look at
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk
or maybe post a query in the Flash forums. You may visit the Flash
forums by
clicking
here.
Oh, and I looked the Exchange over again. The stuff is still
there. Just a bit hidden. You have to click the link labeled "Most
Recent" to find it.

"Page Flip" transition for slideshow widget

Anyone know if there will be a "page flip" transition for slideshow widget in a future release of Adobe Muse? I'm trying to build a small magazine in Muse and a page flip transition would really help.

Will something like http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/flip-cards work for your needs?

Help with Pages, Word transition, and EndNote - please.

In trying to transition to Pages from Word, I have encountered several problems. I would be ever so appreciative if people could advise on solutions:
1. The autocorrect function does not support formatted text. Is this correct?
2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function. The suffix box can be used for page numbers but it means inserting a space before the numeric entry. These would then need to be removed at a later date. Is there a work around on this?
6. There doesn't seem to be anyway to import Word documents with embedded Endnote citations - ie. keeping the citations 'live'. This causes two problems.
a) It would mean redoing entire documents, which is concerning.
b) It would also imply that there would be problems if the document was exported from Pages to Word for another user and then reimported in Pages.
7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
If anyone can offer advice or solutions to any of the above problems, I would very grateful.

Are you saying the formatting is lost or that it won't correct formatted text? Because neither is true to my knowledge.
2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
The font is whatever was set in the template you start with. So create a template to your liking.
3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
Pages does not have auto-save, nor needed it in my experience. Use the freeware EverSave, which will do the job for *all applications*.
4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function.

I don't use Endnote so can't comment.
7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
There is a personal dictionary to which you can add your own spellcheck words, but nothing beyond that to my knowledge.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and see what you can find for further information. Best of luck.
