Problem with Cross Dissolve: The video cuts out during the transistion

I'm encountering a problem with the Cross Dissolve transistion wherein during the period in which the transition should be happening the video instead drops out. There's plenty of heads and tails available on both clips, but as soon as the timeline hits the start of the transition "from' clip cuts out, revealing the background or black if there's no background underneath and then the "go-to" clip cuts in at the end of the transition.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this issue and it's driving me crazy. It's random, that some cross dissolves work, and others don't. Seems to affect AVCHD footage. Adobe seems to be aware of the issue.
The work around that I've seen posted by a forum user "Mitch W" is to apply a GPU accelerated effect to one of the clips in the pair. The effect can be turned to "0" so as not to alter the video. The act of doing this, makes premiere see the clip differently, and render the cross dissolve correctly.
Fast Blur, set to "zero", seems to do the trick, and allows it to work with CUDA acceleration turned on. I did notice that the work around was broken by changing the playback resolution in the viewer window. In that situation, I had to apply the GPU effect to the other clip in the pair to make it work again.
I don't know what will happen if I change my playback resolution again...

What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4 The left and right audio works ok

Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

Intermittent problem with cross dissolve and chroma key

It seems that in 1 out of 10 videos I produce in Final Cut Pro there is a problem with the cross dissolve effect and chroma key. What happens is that during the cross dissolve, clip A fades out with a green tint and clip B fades in with a green tint.
Today I am working with two videos that I captured using the same work flow on the same day. One project exhibits the tint while the second project does not. If I import the problematic footage into the good project the tint problem follows the footage. In the good footage, the cross dissolve produces a result that does not have a green tint. If I re-capture the "bad" footage the results are the same.
Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have an idea how to resolve this problem?
Thank you.

In my project, both clips are source clips with Chroma, Color Smoothing and Matte Choker applied. A dissolve from non-chroma clip to chroma clip works fine. Only problem is with two chroma clips. In my dissolve, the error appears as red fringing in the area between the two masks.< </div>
You're using creative shorthand that doesn't help. "Chroma clip" means the clip to which you have applied all of these effects? What masks? Where are you getting the masks?
To understand what's going on with all them itty bitty pixels in a stack of interactive effects, do me a favor: render out a short piece, say 10 seconds of each of your chromaclips as separate movies over transparency using the Animation codec. Reimport them and put them over a solid colored Dissolve between them using different types of dissolves. Post back and tell us (me) what's going on.
I still consider this to be a bug -- nesting adds more steps to the workflow than if this bug did not exist. < </div>
It's not a bug. Your pixels are running down a pathway. It's a question of building the correct pathway and having the correct pixel wranglers with the right kinds of cattle prods.

Problem with Cross Dissolve and Opacity

I've been noticing that Cross Dissolve has been acting goofey for awhile but have overcome any problems by manually adjusting opacity settings. However, this time I can't get either to cooperate. Notice the line appearing below the phrase "the nutrient recommendation map" in the image below. This line or a similar line will appear as title either cross dissolve into one another or if they are stand alone and the opacity settings fade them in and out. The blinking of the lines is sporadic and changes as I make adjustments. I'll "fix" one spot but they will start to blink at other points in the time line and in different areas.
Any ideas?

I ask because I think I'm having a similar problem. Went home and updated PPro to 5.0.3 and still have the issue.
The screen shot here show the first seconds of an HDV30/60 sequence as the video fades in (bottom layer - lasts about 2 seconds). The top layer is a mask to create the effect of a cinescope camera (no fade). I've cropped the left for demo purposes.
The bottom layer is regular ol' HDV footage. The top layer was created using a Photoshop file with 2 squares using the shape tool and colored black.
For pre-view and render, you can see a light-colored hair line around the top mask. I've applied different effect to remove it, but it won't work. In fact, some effects make it stand out even more. I've also tried using other assets from the PSD (PNG, PPro black video, etc). I also tried the cropping work-around but it did not work.
The screenshot is subtle but it's there. The main thing is that it can be VERY noticable in the BD-R discs I've created played back on set-top players so I'm really hoping there is a fix for it. I did notice that it will appear when I scrub with my finger on the left mouse key. As soon as I let go it appears again.
So PPro is up to date, graphics card is up to date, and I've tried suggested fixes and a few of my own with no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Erik

Problem with Cross Dissolve

I have a couple of clips I want to add the default Cross Dissolve between. The first clip is 04;04 sec., and the other clip is 04;12 sec. When I add the dissolve between them, it only comes in at a duration 00;01; while, when I add the same dissolve to the beginning or end of a clip, it has a duration of 01;00 (which is what I want between the clips.)
Since I have enough footage on each clip (right?), shouldn't the default dissolve be applied at 01;00?
(P.S. This same thing is happening at many places along the timeline.)
Thanks.

Hi(Bonjour)!
That's because both clips must have some "unused" material to "build" the transition itself.
We call this "handles".
To get a 1 second transition, the outcoming (the first one) and incoming (the second one) clips must have at least 15 frames of unused material: 15 frames after the out point of outcoming and 15 frame before the in point of incoming one. This is related to the fact that FCE keep the same sequence's duration with or without transition.(iMovie decrease the duration of your movie when you insert a transition).
Instead of cuting your clips as suggested earlier, use the ripple tool (RR) and adjust the clips.

Problem with cross dissolve transitions

I had several short interview clips that I had made into several short Imovies. I wanted to combine the interviews into one longer movie. Each short clip has an intro clip.
The problem occurs when I copy each short clip and paste into the long version. The beginning and end of each clip is clipped somewhat. I think this might be because it's making a new cross dissolve from an existing cross dissolve?
When I remove everything but the interview clip from the short movies then paste into the longer version this problem doesn't happen. Any idea why this might be happening?

If you made the short clips by export the movie with the intro there is probably no extra media available to make the overlap for the transition. Check the preferences for doing the transition if it's set to all or half. That might help you, but it may just not be possible.

I have had my iPad for six months and it has worked great till last week then the video cuts out and goes green

Question, video cut in and out and goes green?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Problem with cross dissolve...Dropped frames.

when i add cross dissolve it dose't work, it says one or more frames were dropped during playback.

and have you tried rendering it? Figuring out exactly what's gonna render is not particularly intuitive, so post back if things don't make sense.

Video cuts out during games - Black screen

HI,
I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem for the past few months. I've searched these forums and several others without much luck.
System:
MSI P6N SLI
Intel Core 2 6420
Silverstone ST75ZF 750w (quad +12v rail)
EVGA 8800GTS --> PNY Geforce 9800 GT XR8
Mushkin DDR2 800 1gb x2 = 2gb total --> new 1gb x2
Viewsonic VX1940w 19" LED w/ DVI
Onboard sound --> Creative XFI gamer card
x1 HDD SATA, x1 DVD RW
Playing games like Bioshock causes the monitor to go black when I encounter flashing explosions. IE Bioshock, after each death, right after the screen turns to white, the monitor goes black every time while the game continues. Cannot tab out to reset video; I have to have power cycle the monitor in order to have the video come back. Also happens on Combat Arms when I get hit with a flashbang grenade.
I changed the video card from the 8800 to the 9800 because the 8800 was extremely hot. 90C! Changing it out for the 9800 seemed to fix one game, not Bioshock or Combat Arms though. The 9800 runs cool, 50C max.
CPU runs no higher than 35C. Memory - did x86 memtest. 3 passes, no errors. I swapped out the current set of Mushkins for another set, didn't solve it. Nothing's overclocked or manually adjusted. Air-cooled case also swapped for the Antec 900; there's plenty of circulation.
I turned off the onboard sound and put in a Creative XFI card. No help. Swapped out the wifi card also - G --> N.
I've changed everything except for the mobo, CPU, power, and monitor. None of these I look forward to replacing so, MSI peeps, help!~
Thanks for reading.

Hello and welcome,
In bios, what is the frequency of your PCI-E bus, it should be 100.
Did you try new drivers? Sometimes its a driver issue, since its only in a few games.
Remove ALL drivers files, with for instance drivercleaner, reboot and install the latest ones from Nvidia site.
Also, patch the games to the latest version, sometimes its a game problem.
And last, try your computer on a different screen and see if problem persists
Hi DaLoona,
Thank you for your reply.
PCI-E Freq. = 100
Drivers= I have updated before to the newest drivers and wiped the previous with Drivercleaner but no difference noticed. I will try again with the latest drivers to be sure.
Different monitor = yes, I will check that eventually.
Thanks again,
Bastiat

Is anyone else having problems with playback volume fading in and out during a song?

I've noticed that when I play a song now the volume (or probably more correctly the high frequencies) seem to fade in and out. It is a constant "wave" of which ebbs and flows during every song. It has become very annoying. I checked the EQ settings, Playback Enhancer and Crossfade settings. All are normal. Anyone else experiencing this fading in and out of the high frequency sounds?

Try deleting the preferences, and other maintenance measures, like clearing caches.
Also, try running FCP X from another user account. I bet that FCP X will run smoothly in a fresh account, indicating that the cause lies somewhere in your user settings, preferences, or whatnot.
The 10.0.4 is the fastest and most stable version yet for the vast majority of users. I hope you soon see your problems resolved.

Audio cutting out at the end of projects.

I upgraded to iLife 09 (iMovie 09)
I have encountered this problem for the second time and I can't figure it out. I am pretty good at figuring things out so I am confident this is some kind of glitch. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue or possibly a resolution.
After doing a bunch of editing on a new project the original audio from the video cuts out towards the end of the movie. This happens when you preview or export the project however the music files and sound effects work fine. The other odd thing is that if you pause the project and restart it (only in preview mode) using the space bar the original audio works fine.
This issue has been going on for a while and it is preventing me from publishing my self proclaimed masterpieces.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Well I hope that is the not the case half of my project is at 75% (the presets are 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800). Heh... I wonder if they are aware of this issue? I will let you know once I edit the project and see if it plays... It is gonna take a while If I want this to be watchable lol.... Is there an easier way to match up music?

Audio cutting out at the end of my video

So I exported a AVCHD video into an uncompressed AVI and then re imported it. I brought it into the time line and edited it a bunch and also brought in another video and mixed that in. For about half of the video, I used the audio from the video itself... but in different sections, I brought in a separate wav file. I used this wav file towards the end of the video for about 1 minute of the video. After I was done, I exported the entire project into a normal avi file because what I'm going to do for now is upload these to YouTube and so I don't want the file sizes to be too huge.
So I opened up the final avi file in VLC player... and everything is great... except the last 30 seconds or so of the video doesn't have the audio. It plays the audio from the wav about halfway through... and then it stops. The video continues... but there is no sound.
I went back into the project and everything looks fine. The wav file extends to the end and the audio plays fine when I preview the video. So I exported again just to see if it was some sort of error the first time... but no... it did the same thing.
So why is the audio cutting out at the end? How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Ok I figured out how to do a better quality MP4. However I had two problems. 1... the quality isn't near as good as the AVI. 2... now the audio cuts out in even more places instead of just the end. It seems that the .wav file I imported is causing the problems. In the AVI, the wav file cuts out at the end. In the MP4, the wav file cuts out in the middle AND at the end. I don't understand why this is happening. The wav file plays all the way through normaly, and it also sounds find when I preview the video... but when I encode it... it cuts out in places regardless of the format. Is there some step I'm missing in the process to make sure the audio is all in place?

Cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8

Hi there, seriously struggling with cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8.
The problem is simple: I don't know how to do it, and I can't find the option to do it. Right clicking doesn't give me the option to 'Add Cross Dissolve'. I eventually found it by clicking 'Lift From Storyline' and then clicking 'Add Cross Dissolve' but I can't navigate it at all...I'm trying to cross dissolve from one clip to another without it fading to black in between. Can someone help me, or point me in the direction of a tutorial? I've been looking for ages now and not found one that I can use!
This is how it looks at the moment...The clip on the left fades to black and then the next clip starts really suddenly, neither of which I want to happen, but this is the closest I've got after hours of trying to make sense of it!

Lift From Storyline is not what you want, as you've found.
Command-T
Highilght the In or the Out point of a clip, the default transition (Cross Desolve) is applied to that edit point.
Hiighlight a whole clip, or series of clips together, the default transition is applied to all In and Out points for all selected clips.
In the Transition Browser, right-click a cilp and select "Make Default Transition" to change which is the default.
In the Transition Browser, select the "All" catagory in the left column, the first one listed is the one currently set at the Default Transition.
You can also drag-and-drop from the Transition Browser, or highilght an In or Out point, or a single or series of clips, and double-click a transition in the browser.

Video Cuts out After 20 Minutes

With my iPod video coming soon I am preparing movies to put onto my iPod. I convert DVDs into MPEG1s, then MPEG1s into uncompressed AVIs because QT can take audio and video from AVIs. My final uncompressed AVI is perfect, audio and video all the way through. Now, when I convert this AVI to an iPod format movie (320x240), a QT movie (.mov), or a MPEG4 (I have tried all three), it seems to work fine, no errors or anything. Then when I play the result, the audio goes all the way through, but the video cuts out to a white screen after 20 minutes. Is this fixable or do I have to wait for a QT update? By the way, the movie is 90-100 minutes long.

You are converting a DVD (MPEG-2 format) to MPEG-1 format and then to .avi file. This new (now compressed twice) file is compressed again (conversion to .mov).
Too many steps and way too much re-compression.
You should search for some software that will export from MPEG-2 to the iPod settings.
The white screen issue is probably caused by broken time codes (the MPEG-1 file, I suspect).
I've seen new software releases designed for iPod video export (both Mac and Windows versions). Maybe you should try a few of them.
Can the iPod battery hold out long enough to play 100 minutes of video?

Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
You could do the following:
- get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
- if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.
