Text "shifts" through cross dissolves

This is kind of hard to explain...but when I am editing text onto a black background (ie: Blah Blah Blah Productions Presents Blah Blah Blah") the text shifts around, kind of jumps around when I add in cross dissolves. Anyone else experience this? Any way around this?

Deinterlacing will not help, it's not a factor here.
Chances are you have your render controls set to something other than BEST. That is, your text file exists at one quality level but your render files are being processed at a slightly lower quality. When FCP plays the files back in order, you see the change from the text file to the newly rendered video file as a visual hiccup. When you change the render settings, your transitions should all turn red and require re-rendering.

  • Cross Dissolve  / Ken Burns

    I want some text to fade up, and then fade away, as it's growing in size.
    I've applied a Ken Burns zoom to the text, and a cross dissolve to each end.
    But for some reason the Ken burns effect only starts when the text has finished fading up.
    Confusingly though, the zoom then continues through the fade-out - so it's obviously possible to have both effects at the same time.
    HAve tried all sorts of things - Anyone know what's going on?

    It seems as though Ken Burns does not begin until the transition is complete. Try doing the fade in using the opacity control in the video animation window (control- v). That seems to work ok with Ken Burns.

  • I have 5 layers of texts with a white background on the bottom(V1). I want to cross dissolve to black at the same time on all layers. However they all don't disappear at the same time. It seems the top layer fades out last, and so on.

    You can condense multiple clips that are stacked above each other into a nest. The nest appears as a single clip in the Timeline. If you need to modify the individual clips inside after you have created the nest, it can be expanded again by double clicking it.

  • Text shifting on imposed PDF; distill vs export

    Hi experts. Please help me solve a mystery!
    Mac OS 10.7, InDesign CS5 7.0.4
    Here's the problem: I export a PDF (using modified version of the built-in X-1a PDF export preset to include bleed and crop marks)
    Fonts are embedded, no problems when preflighting in Acrobat.
    The printer imposes the file by placing my PDF into spreads in InDesign CS6 on Mac (OS unknown) and exports to PDF using unknown settings (The PDF producer is Adobe PDF Library 10.0.1).
    The imposed PDF I get back from the printer has text shifting (the PDF i send to him looks fine--no gaps).
    It looks like there are random blank spaces in the text and misaligned numbered lists. (left image, image on right shows original ID file)
    Our production person insists that my exporting the PDF is to blame and says we must use distiller for sending files to the printer.
    When I print to postscript then distill, the shifting does not occur in the imposed PDF i get back from the printer.
    Everything I have read on here for years has said the postscript/distill route is bad/old/unnecessary/proof I should get a new printer.
    Production claims fonts are not properly embedded when exporting PDF (patently false as the document info show that fonts are embedded).
    Unless I can explain, and fix the shifting type problem, I will have to stick with postscript/distilling workflow.
    (Although this is also not a guarantee--i have had the text shift/gap happen in PDFs that went through distiller. There the problem seemed to be a bullet glyph that was CID-H encoded.
    When I switched the font from a TT to PS version of the font, it used different encoding and the shifting/gap was fixed in the PDF i got back from the printer.)
    Please share your thoughts!
    Thanks.

    OK. I've gotten the original PDF files that were exported from CS5 and then placed into a new CS6 document and then exported from the OP. By the way, the problem is not limited to exported PDF, but also with PDF created by distillation of PostScript from CS5.
    I cannot replicate the problem by simply creating a new InDesign CS6 document and placing pages into the new document and exporting.
    However, I noted that some crop marks in the original CS5-exported PDF file were not in the CS6-exported file. That leads me to believe that something edited the CS6-exported PDF file. Furthermore, the CS6-exported PDF file was not only labelled as PDF/X-1a, but it also had the Trapped True key on. For exported PDF, InDesign provides no trapping function and absolutely no way of setting that trapping key in the PDF file. But Adobe Illustrator does provide the means of doing trapping and/or labeling a PDF/X file as being trapped with the Trapped True key.
    At this point, I believe that some combination of the following events occurred:
    *     The CS5 exported PDF file(s) were edited, possibly in Illustrator or with object editing in Acrobat Pro either with native tools or third party plug-ins and then resaved with the resultant PDF file(s) placed in the CS6 document. This editing may have messed up spacing of text that used ligatures, alternate characters, old style figures, etc. even though such text was not directly edited.
    *     The CS6 exported imposed spreads were subsequently opened in Illustrator or some other third party trapping engine and resaved with the Trapped True key set. In the process of resaving the file, problems per (1) above occurred.
    Conclusions:
    (1)     Whether PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 was used for export anywhere in this process is irrelevant. The designs in question didn't use any transparency or color management. Furthermore, no CID-encoded fonts were involved and no font name conflicts were involved. However, the fonts used in the original InDesign documents were OpenType CFF fonts with extended character sets which were in fact accessed for ligatures, superscripts, subscripts, etc.
    (2)     Previously non-disclosed steps were used in the workflow between the CS5 export and the resultant files I got to see. Using Illustrator as a PDF editor or as trapping software for PDF files in general is a possible / likely cause of the problems. If not Illustrator, then some very defective PDF workflow software for trapping and/or editing was used.
    (3)     Although InDesign is not designed as an imposition tool, the fact is that it is used for amalgamation of content such as magazines, journals, etc. where ads and other content as PDF (and other formats) is placed within InDesign pages. This appears to be working correctly and is not the source of the problem.
    The OP is dealing with problematic workflow, but not with InDesign problems.

  • Text shift after publishing

    I am having a problem with my text shifting and some colors changing after I publish my website. The problem seems to be on the navigation bar toward the top of the page. It changes color to a darker shade, the text is not centered, and when you navigate through the site, the entire bar shifts up and down between pages. Here is the site:
    http://web.me.com/andrew.heinrich/Food_Congress/Home.html
    Any suggestions as to why this might be occurring? I've tried to re-publish using the "publish all" option and I've also looked at it through various browsers and the problem seems consistent.
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you using the default iWeb nav-bar that is created in Javascript and there for defaults to web-safe colours? I would get rid of it and create my own (it is very easy). Not only will this help with your problem but it will also improve the ability for search engine spiders to crawl your site as the links will be in HTML not javascript.

  • Transitioning effect not working properly (cross dissolve)

    I had a clip and split it in two in FCP. I took the later half and imported to AE to make my effect. The plan was to import it back to FCP and add a cross dissolve between the two half-clips to make it look like the effect fades in. Makes sense, right?
    Weeeell, the darn thing won't let me add an editable transition. I place the two perspective clips side by side (so they continued with each other), right clicked the part where they met and added the cross dissolve. It only added a one frame effect to the later (AE) clip. I've tried even going through the menus and doing the cross dissolve, but it still does the same thing. Is there something that I must have missed or something extra I'm not doing? All I want to do is have my two halves of a clips edited together with a dissolve. Can anyone help me?

    Basically, a handle is media that extends beyond what exists in the timeline. You can use the search feature of this forum for hours of amusing and informative reading.
    When you exported out of fcp to ae, you effective lost any possible handle, because you started at what you wanted to be the middle of the dissolve.

  • G/l balances through cross check to view  adjustment enteries

    hi to all sap fico work force,
    can any one provide theg/l balances through cross check to view  adjustment enteries information,  waiting for respond, thanks in advance.
    regards,
    supriya.thodimela.

    FBL3N is the transaction to view all the G/L line items. In the selection screen, you can restrict to view the line items of a G/L account, based on several selection criteria like posting date, document date, etc.
    Besides the standard selection options there is a three colored (red green blue) icon (Shift F4) to select from dynamic selections. When you click this icon, you can restrict further by document type and more. Here you can enter what was the document type that was applied for the adjustment entries. This way you can check the adjustment entries.

  • Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

    I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
    Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
    Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem?  I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
    I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

  • Weird Cross Dissolve From Video to Image Causes Video to Fade Left!!

    Hello.
    Since the snippet of video was not long enough I had to extend time by creating a still frame. That part worked great. No issues.
    However once I added the cross dissolve going from the video to the image and then again from the image ot the next video  snippet -- it fadically shifts the frame of the video going left as it fades.
    At roughly 2:26 of this flv video. www.lockwoodarc.org/mwhittmore/LARC_Alaska.flv
    Where you see the rear of the jeep and the tag line "Adios Alaska".
    It's my first ever video edit so don't laugh.  It's the best I could do given all the garage I hd to work with.
    Any other suggestions are appreciated too.
    Marc

    What I do is extend my 2nd and 3rd track clips beyond the cut point, then disable the right side of the cut on tracks 2 and 3.
    I then line up the dissolve across the three tracks. This works great, especially if I want to maintain the continuity of the disabled tracks for later use.
    I use different methods depending on how much work I want to do, what I have available in front of me and any other effects at that particular point in time.

  • Cross Dissolve fades to black...I want it to be white.

    Can anyone help me on this? I'm using Final Cut Express 3.5.1. I have my cross dissolve where I want it, but it fades to black, and I want it to fade to white. I have made the background white, but it still fades to black.
    Any help? Thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    If I understand correctly, you want a fade to white after the outgoing clip.
    So put a MATTE generator set to white after the clip (on the same video track) with the cross dissolve.
    The keyboard shortcut is Shift-F9.

  • I cannot edit the Cross Dissolve in the Effects Control Panel in Premiere Pro CC 2014

    If I put a film dissolve between two clips on my timeline, and then click on the film dissolve, I'm able to go to my Effects Window and drag clip A (Top Bar) to the right and trim lets say 3 seconds then go to Clip B (Bottom Bar) and drag to the left to take off lets say 10 seconds off the beginning of clip B.  That very method worked for cross dissolves until this latest update for CC 2014.  It forces me to use ripple edit in the timeline on each endpoint of each clip instead of flying through it in the effects window by clicking each dissolve in the time line.  It's just weird that they would take that out for only the cross dissolve which I prefer using more than anything and not the rest of the dissolves. Does anyone have a clue why? Or is this a bug?

    That is correct. This is the only transition where the workflow has changed.
    You can now make it into a preset.
    BTW I dont use it often but i dont like it either not being able to adjust the cross dissolve in the EC.

  • Mass Add Cross Dissolve

    Hi, I did a multi-clip edit and now have al of the cuts. Is there a way to have Final Cut go through and Add a cross dissolve transition after ever cut. So when it switches from angle to angle it cross dissolves. I am sure there is any easy way to do this (without doing it manually). But I am very very new to FCP so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just collapse the multiclip edit before you add the transitions.

  • Strange image when inserting cross dissolve

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with the cross dissolve. Everytime I insert it, doesn't matter where, mid-way through the transition a frame shows up from an earlier (30 sec back) portion of footage. I tried trimming the clip to see if it would work and no luck. I'm running the latest update of FCP-HD on a Dual 2GHZ G5. Help would be greatly appreciated. I need to get rid of this phantom image. Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,
    This is not a solution but might help you get some work done.
    You are not alone in experiencing this. In addition to what you describe, I've gotten the same effect a few times when I used a slug or color matte on a higher video track to create a transition.
    In my case I found it was only happening when I was "pushing" the system – ie lots of sequences open, very large project, numerous nests, etc.
    I quit and did a restart. Then I created a new project with "shrink" appended to the title. Then I opened the large project and dragged over a subset of what I needed to my shrink project. I closed the large project.
    The problems disappeared. Sorry I don't have anything more definitive, and I hope that helps.

  • How to change cross dissolve alignment in PP CC 2014??

    I've updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014 and now I can't change the alignment on my cross dissolve from the effect controls panel - or anywhere else for that matter. Is that function gone in 2014?? Or did I miss something?
    Screendump from the effect controls panel:

    I dont understand this part ( what am I missing?)
    'm looking to keep the length of the dissolve and skip ahead or rewind with each clip
    but ...
    This method only changes the length of the dissolve one end at a time
    Dragging the Transition Box in the Timeline works like this.
    Drag one end and the total duration extends or contracts.
    Shift Drag either end... affects that end only.
    Drag in the middle of the box ..repositions (off centres) the transition (Assymetrical).
    All adjustments are shown in a Info Box overlay.

  • I can't change the length of an cross dissolve in iMovie

    I can't change the length of a cross dissolve in iMovie 10.0.1

    Who has the solution of this problem?

    »Pass Through« indicates that Adjustment Layers will affect lower Layers outside the Group and that contained Layers with different Blend Modes will affect Blending with underlying Layers outside the Group accordingly.
    If you change it to Normal or any of the other Blend Modes everything contained within the Group will basically act as one flattened Layer and Adjustments only affect the Group’s pixel content.
