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.

Dropped frame warning after adding 3d video transition between 2 clips....

Hi all,
I have the MBP in signature and after making a very short sequence with 2 small clips (obtained by the same master clip, from/on my SSD, that is 640x480 / 10fps with AppleOPEN DML codec) between which I insert a 3D video transition (cross zoom), if I press the space bar for preview (with unlimited RT setting + dynamic setting for playback and frame quality) I get the dropped frame warning as soon as the playhead reaches the 3D transition in the playtime....Is this normal even with my very new MBP specs???
Note that I am currently on battery and not on charger (--> the GT330M is gently underclocked).
May you please advise?
Thanks
Emanuele

Hey there,
First of all, FCE doesn't support your media. You should really use something like the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert it to DV-NTSC with a frame size of 720x480, a frame rate of 29.97, and audio set to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. Edit the media in a DV-NTSC sequence within FCE.
After applying almost any effect you'll need to render it out to view it in real time. The shortcut is Option-R.

Trouble adding flash video

I am following the directions in Dreamweaver CS3 The Missing Manual for adding a flash video to my webpage. I did the following:
Insert>Media>Flash Video
Selected Progressive Download from the Video Type box,
Browsed and selected my video ("newsmakers.flv)
Used the default skin
Clicked the detect size button and checked the auto play and auto rewind boxes.
Clicked ok.
Then an error message comes up......(see attached screen print)
"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or translator. The change will be discarded."
The only choice I have is to say ok. I am not sure what to do. I don't know what this will do. The book does not address this error.
The entire site is built on a template if that is any help.

The problem has to do with your editable regions in your template source code. If you go to the source code of your template look at the code between <head> and </head> If you do not have an editable region there then you will need to add one in the code view. This is because when you edit a page based on that template DW will fail to add the code because it needs to add header code in addition to the code it inserts at the point of where you want the video to appear on the page. So if both editable regions do not exist DW cannot continue.

Trouble adding new video card to p6-2310

I have the Pavilion P6-2310 (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) and I would like to add a new video card to the empty PCI-E slot in the machine. I would also like the keep the onboard video capability, as I'm looking to drive 3 monitors. I have an older GeForce 7300LE that I tried putting in last night and was able to get the card working by turning off Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Mode in the BIOS, but the machine would then not recognize the onboard video.
There were no settings in the BIOS to enable/disable onboard video (BIOS is AMI 8.04), so I'm wondering if there was a trick to keep the onboard video while using a PCI-E graphics card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This question was solved.

Hi:
When you install a discrete video card, the onboard graphics is automatically disabled.
Please see the video specs for the motherboard in your PC at the link below.

Adding video transitions using Multicam in Premiere CC not working

Just tried to a video transition to a Multicam timeline between a camera switch and it does add the transition in the timeline but only plays back as a cut as if no transition was applied. Also, using the shortcut CTRL D doesn't add the transition but does it show up in the history that it applied a transition.
I used a Dissolve transition and it shows the video dissolving between the 2 video source in the transition Effects Control window, just doesn't work in the timeline when playing it back. Rendering the timeline doesn't work either, still a cut transition.
Actually, just tried the CTRL D shortcut and it is now working.
Now the transition shows up when going to the Export menu and looking at the video in the Preview window and when exported the dissolve is there so the only problem is that the video transitions can't be seen when playing from the timeline.
Decided to close down Premiere, restart it and reload the project and now the transition works in the timeline.
Actually, here what happens. You can't see transitions when the Program monitor is in Multicam mode, you need to switch is back to Composite mode then the transition will preview when playing from the timeline. Now I just checked and you can scrub through the transition and see it when the Program monitor is in the Multicam mode.

Adding video transitions

I am using the default 1 second fade in fade out video transition. I was able to successfully do one transition but now it will not repeat the process. I have enough footage"handles" on either end of the clips to support it but it will only add a fade in transition. I have tried the transition in a different location but it still wont work. I don't think I'm not doing anything differently than I did first time around. What's the deal?

Try this...press the 's' key, then click on and hold both of the clips you're trying to add the transition to. You should see a 'ghost image' of any available media before or after the end of the clip.
If one of the clips doesn't show extra media available, then that's the problem.
If this shows both clips with plenty of media (handles), then you should tell us what format your working with and any other details that might help us help you.

I'm having a problem in FCP7 with all video transitions. Every transition has a rolling flicker throughout the effect. What is causing this?

I recently upgraded to FCP7 from FCP6. I am now having an issue in playback with all video transitions. When I add a transition to my video it does not consistently play smoothly. I now appears to have an old "film" like flicker rolling through the effect. Our video was shot on a dslr and brought into FCP with compressor as a prores 422 file. We use magic bullet for our coloring effects which are in place on this video. When I was working on the project in FCP6 I did not have this problem. When the project was complete we upgraded to FCP7. The client has now come back to us wanting additional footage. So I opened the old project up into FCP7 and checked yes to all format updates to meet with FCP7 guidelines. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
For me it looks like conflict with field order (upper, lower - interlaced).
Please, check Your sequence settings, maybe it should be set to "field order NONE" if Your source is progressive.
Next thing You could check:
in Your timeline with bad transitions look into "Effecs tab" - maybe FCP 7 added "shift field filter +/-1" after opening FCP 6 project.
In general - try to keep sequence settings same as source settings.

When importing Abode premiere footage with video transitions they get wipped out :-(

Afternoon from York UK, (USING LATEST VERSIONS OF ALL SOFTWARE)
Ok here's today's stress.... I build i video clip with Video transitions, dissolve dip to white to be specific. When i imported the project into After effects all transitions are lost :-( I'm so very confused.
To help here is a screen shot showing the transitions effects exist in the layers but on ram preview and export to mpeg no video transitions show. It is as if i added no transition effects between the clips!

Thanks Rick,
But I'm such a noob at Ae i've little idea on how to go about "Dynamically linked AE..." I appreciate now Ae is a technical tool which is going to take time to master which is difficult when I had yesterday to send the completed video to the client. Big problems for me are getting generated when I try to import Pr with Ae. Case in point is my Ae created animation being so much bigger than my imported video clip creating this effect: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/misfit-video-clip-langleys-glitch_z pseec728d8.jpg

Trouble capturing analog video using Quicktime 7 in Yosemite

I am attempting to use Quicktime 7 Pro under Yosemite to convert old 8 mm or Hi8 analog videotapes to digital .mov files. The tapes are being played through a Sony TRV350 camcorder, which digitizes the analog video, and outputs digital video via the iLink (Firewire) output, which then goes to the Thunderbolt input on my MacBook Pro using an adapter. I start the camcorder and then start QT7 Pro.
This DOES WORK - for a short while. After taking in 32MB of data or a minute (of a 90 minute video), QT7 stops capturing data with a message:
"Recording stopped because the format of the source media changed. Media of different formats cannot be recorded to the same file"
What does this mean and how do I get around it?
PS: There are not many ways to convert these old tapes. Under Yosemite iMovie will no longer accept video from a Hi8 camcorder. There is some discussion of older iMovie HD but this does not work properly under Yosemite at all.
Need to digitize these old family tapes - any help will be appreciated

One tiny wrinkle is that "Save" from Vidi gives an error message but "Save as" works fine. I suspect Vidi may also stop working with the next OS X release.
Since you did not indicate the specific nature of the error message, I don't know if this is a "fixable" problem or not. The difference between the "Save/Record" and "Save As.../Record As..." options is that the former automatically stored the captured files in a designated location using a default filename. You may wish to check or reset the preference settings here to see they are causing your issue.
Yes, the conversion of a 90 min tape does give a 21 GB file but I don't care - these family videos are irreplaceable and storage is cheap.
This sounds about right—i.e, the normal average DV-25/DVCPRO-25 total data rate is on the order of 28.5 Mbps (or about 13 GB/hour) with DV-50/DVCPRO-50 about 57 Mbps and DV-100/HDV about 114 Mbps.
One more question. Now that I have a DV file, what can I use to convert to a more compressed format that preserves quality? QT7 to save as H.264 is best? Or something else? Toast?
This normally depends on your goals and personal workflow preferences.
For instance, if you are editing content (i.e., trimming; merging; adding titles, fades, transitions, effects, etc.), I would normally use the export/share options that are available from within the editing app itself. On the other hand, for simple trims and export/share of files, I would normally use QT X or QT 7 Pro depending on the specific project needs and/or level of manual control desired. For totally edit-free conversions, I would normally use the encoder options now built into Yosemite (or Mavericks) operating system at the Finder level or the free HandBrake app. (The former basically employs a non-anamorphic approach with high/low quality or target device controlled quality options while the latter has a better graphic user interface for anamorphic strategies with more manual control for truly customized exports as needed.)
EXAMPLE 1: The family normal has Thanksgiving at my brother-in-laws home in PA so my son hosts a second "pseudo-Thanksgiving" dinner on January 1st for the relatives here in NJ. This year I wore a GoPro and within minutes of returning home created the following "trailer" of the gathering (with a total absence of any real planning or forethought) using iMovie to shared the file directly to Mail for posting to others. In this case, I used the video editor to both edit and share a "quickie" video with the rest of our relatives from the East to West Coast. I.e., it seemed the most efficient workflow for the mini-project... SAMPLE VIDEO
EXAMPLE 2: On the other hand, several yeas ago I was asked to post a "quickie" tutorial showing how to layer audio and video content. As this was a relatively simple project, I used QT 7 Pro for this project. Here is the resulting SAMPLE FILE created while making the tutorial.
EXAMPLE 3: In cases where the quality of the source file varies drastically—one video being an 80 year old cinema classic and the next a just released blockbuster loaded with special effects—and/or the source files are not "natively" compatible with QT, I prefer HandBrake for its ability to "tweak" settings over a wide range to create "universal" playback files for all mobile devices, local network streaming, and sharing via internet... SAMPLE 1959 TRAILER
EXAMPLE 4: Lastly, when I simply want to just transcode one or more QT compatible files (for any number of reasons) at the Finder level without having to open a dedicated converter utility, I simply select/highlight the files in the Finder and pass them to the Yosemite/Mavericks operating system for conversion... POCKET RECORDER SAMPLE FILE
As you can see, you have a myriad of options to choose from depending on your personal preferences, needs, goals, etc. As to H.24/X.264/MPEG-4 AVC, yes I would recommend sticking with any encoder that adheres to the JVT standard since it has become a default Mac system standard and, with different settings, is extremely scaleable with regard to use—i.e., it can handle anything from cellular streaming to Blu-ray or multi-K Hi-Def resolutions. However, for all-purpose use, I stick to High Profile (current mobile, TV, High-Speed Internet compatible) or Main Profile (older mobile device, original TV, lower-speed platform compatible) anamorphic encodes at level 3.1 which nicely covers data rates from less then 100 Kbps up to 14 Mbps or anything most users will ever need.

Why wont my audio/video transitions render in media encoder

when im rendering a project from PP in media encoder the audio/video transitions i added to my project dont show up in the rendered version of the video (the affter affects compositions i added show up though) but when i open the project back up in PP there they are. am i just not applying them correctly, or is there an extra step to link them to the clips or something. im still new to the software so you'll probably have to explain this to me in very basic terms. thanks

I don't use Photoshop for video so am having to guess here, but you say H.264 but not what preset you are using. In PremPro there are something like a 100 prest options for H.264 Try something like Vimeo HD 1080p 29.97, but instead of exporting the entire video, drag the markers under the video preview window, to contain just enough to see if it is working. That will save you a heap of time. Can you select VBR 2 pass from the Citrate settings in media encoder? The Vimeo setting of 5Mbs for the target bitrate should easily give you nice transitions, but you can up that if you like, at the expense of file size.

Error occurs when dragging and dropping a Video Transition

Hi there.
This is my first post here, as I have only recently upgraded to Premiere Pro CS5 from a very old version. I am running into a big problem with video transitions. Whenever I try to drag and drop a transition onto my timeline, Premiere crashes and says "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere to shut down..." Then the screen just hangs there and I need to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to close the program. Please note that crossfades work with no issues whatsoever, and I have not encountered any other errors. Any ideas?
Here are some of the specs of my system:
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
RAM: 12 GB
I have 4 drives with the programs and files allocated per the suggestions in this forum.
Thanks,
Dave

Here would be my shotgun approach to your issue: Try adding effects on different footage. If no crash, the footage may be corrupt.
Try a new project with the same footage. If no crash, the project may be corrupt.
If above actions still produce a crash, trash prefs. Prefs may be corrupt.
You also may have bad RAM. Run a RAM-test app.
Still crashing? Re-install the application. The app may be damaged.
Sorry I don't have a firm answer, but you may need to seek and destroy, using process of elimination.

Video Transition Effect

I'm trying to add video transition effect at an edit point but not able to add to both edit points, just the end of the first clip and not overlapping two clips. What is keeping me from adding the effect to both points? I've done so in the past. Thanks.
