Transitions Troubles

I'm putting three pictures on a timeline each for 30 frames,
so they appear one after the other. I test it and it work just
fine. Then I'm going back and trying to apply a fade in transition
to get each picture to fade in over the 30 frames that it appears.
The first one works perfectly but when I try to do the same for the
second or third it doesn't fade in, it just pops in on the last
frame. What am I doing wrong?

Item 2 of your response. I'm just putting my cursor at the
first frame of each picture and on the menu saying insert timeline
transition. It pops up and shows the transition for the first one
fine. Then I put my cursor on the key frame that starts the second
picture and do the same thing. This time instead of fading in it
pops in on the last frame. When I go back and view the timeline for
the first picture you can see it appearing frame by frame as the
transition opens. However nothing appears on the second or third
until the last frame. The whole thing worked fine before the
transitions and it works fine on the first transition, just not the
second or third.

Transition Trouble

Whenever I add a transition between photos the picture flickers or reappears as the transition finishes. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Trouble with a simple transition

I'm new to actionscript and trying to wrap my head around some simple scripting, but am having trouble.
My goal in this excercise is to have one symbol/movie clip in frame 1 (stopped on that frame) and then, when clicked, the first cube will dissapear and transition to a different symbol/movie clip in frame 2.
Here is my script:
stop();
stationary1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, transition);
function transition(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
evt.currentTarget.mouseEnabled = false;
The movie clips I'm working with are just revolving cubes that are different colors. What happens when I run this script is the initial cube is there spinning as intended in frame 1, then when I click it the initial cube freezes and the other cube doesn't show up.

you probably don't want the evt.currentTarget to advance to frame 2. that would be the 2nd frame on stationary1's timeline.
try:
stop();
stationary1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, transition);
function transition(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);

Trouble with photos rendering after transitions inserted

I'm having trouble in general with the program running slow and stuttering. But my biggest problem is that after I insert a transition, the photo (with ken burns effect) doesn't re render itself. so after the transition, the movement of the photo skips back to it's original start position. When I try to view the photo settings, all I see is black.

Welcome to discussions, Cheryl;
Updating Ken Burns stills works only until you empty the trash in iMovie HD 6.0.2:

Trouble adding a video transition

I am trying to place a simple cross dissolve transition from a text slide I created in Final Cut Express and an imported video clip. The text slide is 3 seconds long while the video clip is 4.5 seconds long.
The dissolve will only place on the video clip and not extend to the text clip.
Any help?

Hi T. Diamond
welcome to this forum,
you can achieve that by either using a dissolve transition (if you are not familiar to how handles work or what that means check out [this simple tutorial|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html] ) or by putting your text clip on V2 (leaving the other clip in V1) and place/overlap the portion of clip you want to Xdissolve over the clip parked in V1 and ramp the opacity of the text clip (in V2) from 100 gradually down to 0 in the *motion tab* (Viewer).
You will keyframe the opacity from 100 to 0.
Should you not be familiar with keyframing just check out the manual (main menu> help> Final Cut Pro user manual)everything you need to know is there.
Good luck.

I am having trouble with my video clips not transitioning correctly

I am making a video in imovie 11. as I added clips and transitions it was changing my clips and some were not changing to the next clip. How do I fix this?

There is also a setting in restrictions - Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and one for Facebook, did you restrict anything in there?

Troubles with transition timeline effect

Hello,
I am trying to get a line of text to fade in over time via
the 'Transition' timeline effect. However, when I do this, editing
any of the settings makes no change, even after updating the
preview. If I click OK, the effect doesn't seem to work at all.
When I open the Transition effect dialog, I get an 'output'
window with the following inside:
quote:
Exception in exportPreviewSWF: TypeError: instance has no
properties
Exception in reverse: TypeError: tmpFrame has no properties
Exception in forward: TypeError: myCurrentFrame has no

Any assistance in remedying the problem would be most

Thanks. I kind of get half of what you are saying. I'm using a old flash mx and half the buttons/menu in it are really different. I'm checking out the motion panel as we speak.

Trouble with transitions

I have a client that ftp'ed a file to me and when I opened it up in Final cut the sequence opened asMpeg 4. When I started editing I found that every transition or manual fade I applied introduces a shift or glitch.
Any suggestions would be great. I am on a deadline.
Thanks
Jeff

mpeg 4 is not an editing format, but a heavily compressed delivery format
You need to receive the footage in an editing format such as those used in the easy set ups.

Trouble adding simple transition between clips

Hi, for the life of me I can't solve this simple problem. I'm used to using Premiere and this was easy but FCP is giving me grief. I'm assembling a simple sequence of video clips in the timeline. Each clip is at least 3 seconds long and they are snapped together in the timeline. I want to add a 1 second cross dissolve centered over where each clip joins the other. Everytime I drag the cross dissolve over the area it makes a tiny sliver of a transition. I can't make it bigger. I should be able to grab each side and drag it out to make it bigger but nothing happens. I've tried other transitions also but I keep getting this tiny sliver of a grey transition. The timeline is stretched out far so the default 1 second transition should appear large, but it's not.
A friend has said he's had this happen before as well but he can't remember how he got around it.
This is driving me crazy, any help is appreciated.

#1 Transitions "Insufficient Content"
Shane's Stock Answer #1:
You need to make sure that your clips have enough media (called 'handles') at the beginning of the incoming clip and at the end of the outgoing clip for the transition. For example, if you have a 1 second (30 frame) dissolve, your in and out point need to be at least 15 frames from the edge of the clip.
What you are running into is that you are marking an out point at the end of a clip then adding a cross dissolve, say 20 frames in duration. Since the dissolve is centered on the cut, it will start 10 frames before the cut, and try to go 10 frames AFTER the cut...which it can't do.
What you need to do is plan how long your dissolve will be and back-time your cut so that it works.

Shane Ross, "Stock Answers", 03:58pm Jan 13, 2005 CDT
a full 1 second crossfade reaches 15 frames into each clip. So, if you want to change a cut to a crossfade, there has to be at least 15 additional frames of each clip.
Say you're trying to crossfade from one clip into the very first frame of a second clip. FCP cannot 'create' 15 more frames of the second clip to do a crossfade. If they're not there, you're out of luck.
FCP has to extend the end of your first clip by 1/2 of your transition length, and the beginning of your second clip by 1/2 of your transition length, so those frames need to be in your system. The nature of a crossfade is mixing two clips together.

Trouble adding a transition

I added to clips to a sequence without a transition, but now I want to add one. I have been trying to follow the instructions in the electronic manual, but it is not working. I have been trying two different ways:
Putting the play head between the two clips and trying to select that point (I also tried adding a marker at that point) and using Command-T, but nothing happens.
I put a Mark In near the end of the first clip and a Mark Out near the beginning of the second clip, but Command-T results in a message "Insufficient Content for Edit." The same thing happens even if I move those in and out points farther apart.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ben

If the OUT and IN marks are just at the end of the first clip and at the beginning of the second clip, respectively, there is not enough media for the transition to work. Each of the 2 clips must have a "handle", that is additional media both on the right of the OUT point of the first clip and before the IN point of the second clip.
To add handles, simply move the OUT point left by 15 frames (for example) and the IN point right by the same amount, to allow a 1 sec transition to work. If the 2 clips were already in the timeline close the new 1 sec gap (drag the second clip to its left) and apply the transition.
Piero
Note: shortening the clips by moving their IN and OUT points always discards some media you captured, but this cannot be avoided; on the other hand you should always make sure additional footage is shot before and after the main clips, if you want to make room for transitions.

Having trouble with transitions between photos for project...

I tried doing what it said under Troubleshooting but it won't work. Is there a way to have a transition automatically between photos instead of manually putting them there? (kind of like iDVD). I did it individually but then it wouldn't work or the transition time between is too short.

If you don't have a mouse with a right click, just use the drop down menu. File/Project Properties.
If you have a laptop, I am sure there is a key sequence that simulates a right click. I don't have a laptop, so I don't know what it is. If you have an apple mighty mouse, you can set up right-clicking in the system preferences / keyboard and mouse menu.
Open project space is the gray space behind the clips. It may be a different color if you have added music.

Trouble with Music Clips and Transitions

Working with photos and music. Is there a way to start a second music clip in the middle of a transition? It seems that the end of a first clip will slide to whatever position I choose, but the second clip will only start at the end of or at the beginning of a photo, but never during a transition.
Can this be done?

Hi Scottis!
In the timeline, click on the audio clip and use the usual volume adjustment, i.e. pull down the end of the 'volume line' until it slopes downwards.

Trouble exporting movies and transitions to quicktime help please!!!

man i have lost to much sleep trying to figure this out...lol. Everything plays correctly when i view in play mode, but when i got to export to movie the problems begin. I have video on most pages about 7 pages in total. the video should play automatically, it wont even begin to play on the first page. The hyperlinks don't even want to read properly the first hyperlink i have on the first page works, but it's pretty much a rap after that. Can anyone be of assistance, they made keynote seem like it was a piece of cake...lol i beg to differ...

Hi Cozah, just a quick note: In the past I used Power Point all the time for presentations and conferences. One day, out of curiosity, I tried creating a presentation in Keynote version 1 (a while back, previous to '08).
It was tough at first, I did a lot of trial and error, and reading the help section, but in the end I found Keynote to be more versatile and efficient in creating attractive and nice presentations. Pretty much each time I do a presentation (I usually present to many hard-to-please investors and business owners) using Keynote the two questions people ask me are: (1) who did that presentation, and (2) was the presentation done on Power Point? My answer to both is always, "it's all Keynote" I love using Keynote and Pages (Numbers I am still having a harder time getting used to, I still use Excel all the time), and now I would never return to Power Point and Word, it feels so clunky and coarse. Anyway, that's why I joined the Keynote forum, because I appreciate the application so much... anyway, that's just my opinion and two-pennies worth
