Transition (cross dissolve) has random audio

Hi Gang,
Since I have been using I MOVIE HD, I try to do a transition joining two clips (cross dissolve) and reguardless of the lengh of the transition, it pulls in a piece of audio from some other part of my project.
I only get this audio problem when I use cross-dissolve, overlap or fade out. The other transitions are normal. My project is due late this week and hope I can find a FIX in time.
I can silence the transition but it gives me a gap with NO audio.
Any advice will be appreciated. Peace, Joe Ray from the Kenai River in Alaska.

Hi Sue,
Many thanks... It worked. You saved my project timelime and completion day. Peace, Joe Ray

HUGE TRANSITION CROSS DISSOLVE PROBLEMS

Ok, I copied everything to a new project - same problem (unrelated frames in the background of a transition between 2 other clips). But now on top of that, sometimes it doesn't even create any transition at all! I have no files in Render media. People are telling me to dump preferences - what exactly does that mean? Please tell me step by step. Go into User Preference? which folder (general, editing...etc)? Do I just uncheck everything? Also, the apple8 isn't working as default transition anymore - it's just gone light grey & I have no idea how to get it back.
Please help...
Thanks,
Billy

Trashing Prefereneces is done by closing FCP, then navigate to this website: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/... nice little utiltiy to do that.
Not sure it will help, but won't hurt.
Apple 8 is a keyboard shortcut to open the log and capture window... command (apple) +T is the keyboard command to add the default transition.
Control click on the cross Dissolve in the Effects tab in the Viewer, and select "make default transition"...
Most of the time, when a transition isn't added it's because you don't have enough unused media to accomodate it. (you've edited in all the media that's available from a clip or subclip). Take off 15 frames on either side of an edit point that has this prolblem, and you should be able to add a 30 frame centered transition that way.

How does one create a video cross dissolve without an audio cross fade in FCP-X??

Greetings:
This is a no brainer in 'legacy' Final Cut, but I am completely stumped in FCP-X. Situation is thus:
Main story line consists of a speaker. I would like to drop stills onto/into the storyline while the speaker continues uninterrupted. I've tried connecting to the storyline, overwriting to the storyline, creating a secondary storyline, creating transitions with available media, with full overlap -- all for naught. The outgoing bits of the cross dissolve have a weird audio hiccup that I cannot get rid of. I simply want to fade a still in and fade it out (I appreciate I could keyframe opacity with a still connected to the main storyline, but that seems slightly nuts -- this should be a keystroke). I am assuming I'm missing something -- possibly something really simple, so, apologies for being a dolt, but I could really use a hand here.
Many thanks

Detach the audio using Control-Click. The audio will then have its own fade that you can adjust. If you want to cross fade audio clips just overlap another audio clip by placing it below the first audio clip. Overlap can be adjusted for the amount of time you want for a dissolve. You can also pull the fade control in the vertical middle of the end of each audio clip to make an audio fade in/out. Holding that fade control while pressing the Control key gives you the option to select different types of fade curves. Hope this helps.

Transitions -- Cross Dissolve: FLASH FRAME

When I insert a Cross Dissolve, 15-20% of the time there is one frame black at the end, ruining the transition. (Black flash frame).
Tried deleting transition, reapplying - no luck.
How can I be rid of this?

This is a total shot into the blue, so please be patient...
Have you looked at what all those clips that exhibit this problem may have in common? Perhaps all of them have an odd number of frames? If so, you may be onto a way to work around the problem.
If it's just the last frame, you may try to simply 'split at playhead' at the final transition frame, and delete the last frame, not the whole transition.
I know that this is annoying at best, but maybe woth a shot.
Hope this helps,

Transitions - cross dissolve

The cross dissolves in the premiere do not appear as smooth transition - am I missing something? Are there any plugins to achieve a better result?

Thanks Jim. I am using Premiere CS5.5 on Mac. My source footage is 4k R3D. Am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration.
I have used cross dissolve at a few cuts, used default settings for the transition. However, the transition doesn't seem smooth both in previews and after render. When I compare mine with the transitions in films and film trailers, those are much nicer, smoother. Is there some settings I need to change - or are there some third party plugins that would give better result? Thanks.

Transition/Cross Dissolve

OK...new to FCE, but have edited on a PC. I'm trying to put a cross dissolve between 2 pieces of video. I have successfully done it with other bits of video.
The videos are long enough, I have put the videos right next to each other ( even tried overlapping them), put the playhead where the join is, opened Effects in the Browser window, clicked and dragged down the onto the join the Cross Dissolve...but it doesn't appear to be there on the timeline. I've tired lots of different ways of doing this..but still no luck..is there some simple thing I am not doing?

How do I get rid of the purple vertical bar that appears at the end when I use a default transition (cross dissolve) or dip to black?

There is a vertical purple bar that appears only when I fade out at the end. I am trying to remedy this. Please help. Thanks!
Lila

This is Adobe Premieres of telling you that you are at the end of the sequence. If you hate it as much as we all do please send a feature request to get it removed. The bar will not be there on any exported file.

Audio in Clip1 continues across Clip 2 (no sound) during a Cross Dissolve

Hi,
Just got a new Intel Mac Pro with heaps of RAM & HDD's to use for my part time wedding video production business.
I have a problem in iMovie 06, which I just can't find a solution for.
When I place a cross dissolve between say clip 1 & clip 2 the audio from clip 1 continues across the full cross dissolve with NO audio in the cross dissolve from clip 2. It is only when the playhead cross over the cross dissolve to clip 2 that clip 2 sound can be heard!
This is VERY annoying when clip 1 has quite audio & clip 2 is nosiey - I get a instant increase in volume when the playhead goes from the back of the cross dissolve to clip 2!
Can anyone help!
Thanks,
Trav

Try selecting Show Clip Volume Levels in the View menu. Then select the transition and expand your time line as far as it can go to view the transition. You will see that the transition has a volume line running horizontally through it, just like any other clip, that lets you adjust the volume by dragging the line up or down. It sounds to me like your transition has the volume line pulled all the way to the bottom, muting all sound in the transition. Adjust the volume line upward in the transition. If I am correct, the sound from Clip 1 and Clip 2 should be blended into a smooth transition. Worth a try, anyway.

Added automatic transitions - pictures flash during cross-dissolve

Hi
I added automatic transitions (cross-dissolve for .5 seconds) to my project (45 minutes). It's mostly 7-second pictures with a few movies here and there - but after watching it in iMovie, after the 5th or 6th picture, there are short blips/flashes of other previously seen pictures during the cross-dissolve transition...is this only in iMovie or if I export it will it be like this too?
Thanks

I haven't seen this issue, but it should not be a problem when you export.
If you would like to test it without sharing your whole 45 minute movie, you can go into the project list, and DUPLICATE your project by right-clicking on the project name. Then delete all but the first 5-6 minutes from the duplicate project, and share it.

Bladed a clip but is not applying cross dissolve

This is a bit of an odd one? When creating a transition between two separate clips, applying most fades etc is straightforward. Have just created a cut in one individual clip, tried to apply the transition 'Cross Dissolve' and for some reason it won't do it. Anyone experienced this?

Have not run into this.. Assuming cross dissolve is your default, selecting the edit point and Command-T (or double-clicking) should add a transition – continuous clip or not. (Of course, if it's just bladed and no part of the clip has been removed, you wouldn't see any effect in playback – which is why I asked the question about jump cuts.)
Perhaps someone else can add something.

Cross dissolve problem - only works as fade in with graphics clips

I inserted three graphics clips with transitions (cross dissolve default) at the beginning of a sequence. The transitions only seem to work as fade-ins I have plenty of extra frames beyond the edit section of the clips. I tried to adjust the transitions in the transition editor - it shows the transition aligned to start at the edit, but won't allow mw to choose to center it on the edit or end on the edit.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Thank you - no, there seems to be a handle only on the left side of the edit (to the left of the transition - which sits only to the right of the edit). On the right side,(in the zone of hte transition) the cursor shows the symbol for the roll tool - r. Excuse my limited understanding of the interface and tools - I am just beginning to learn FCE.
I will be away from the workstation until tomorrow morning.

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 audio overlap for cross dissolve transition

I am using FCPX v10.8 to edit 1hour long lectures. When I edit out a short mis-speak, for example, the audio will overlap too, along with the video. Not good.
Someone told me to try expanding the audio video and that definately helps. But when I do additional edits, the audio tracks keep changing to different levels (FCP7 tracks which i wish we still had) and I start running into overlap problems again so I have to keep going back and making sure I havent messed up some of the earlier ones. Driving me nuts. Is there any other way to edit or some other transition that will do the same as cross dissolve for the video but not audio. There are not too many transitions that will work for one person speaking as in a lecture. Cant fade in and out, etc. Appreciate any help. Urgent! have deadlines to meet.
thank you
Jac

Expanding audio/video is the first step. The second step in to bring up the trim tool (T). Then you roll the audio and/or the video. The levels should be easily controlled as well with keyframes.
Other than dissolve, the video transition of choice is fade to color.

Premiere Pro CS3 Issue- Cross Dissolve Transition creates random frame insert

Hello,
I have had this issue for a long time, and whenever I render a cross dissolve transition, once in a while, it inserts a random frame from either the prior or latter clips that I apply the transition effect to.
I don't know how to solve this issue and could use help as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Th3On3Fr33man

I agree with Harm.
This happens when one does not have enough Frames (Handles), beyond the Out-Point, or before the In-Point, to accommodate the Duration of the Transition.
For some more info on Handles, these might be useful:
In the days of A-B Roll editing, or with film, Handles were an easy concept to grasp. With current NLE's, it's more abstract.
Good luck, and do not forget to read through the Help files. In the days of manuals, this concept was covered pretty well. Curt Wrigley covers it in his Classroom in a Book PrPro.

No audio cross dissolve in iMovie 10.0.8/Yosemite?

I know iMovie is not a professional editing solution, but I am baffled why I cannot cross-dissolve audio clips but I can do so with picture.
Before the flamers start in on me, I am going to be teaching an editing class in an inner city magnet school and the program was mis-managed, which is why myself and another are coming in. The students, very bright and very passionate about filmmaking, are not up and running on Final Cut X or any other "more professional" editing platform yet, and in order to meet a deadline, a much simpler solution like iMovie is going be the ticket.
So, it has been a while since I used iMovie for anything, but it seems to me Apple has hamstrung it and removed a lot of features I remember.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

"I am baffled why I cannot cross-dissolve audio clips but I can do so with picture"
Well it's done automatically in the case of two video clips with attached audio that have a Cross Dissolve transition between them.
When you have detached or independent audio clips just overlap them and use the fade handles to fade one out and the next in. See below:
