Video transition default

Every now and then, I will insert a video transition like cross fade or fade out and it will automatically default to an extremely short transition (usually 00:00:00;15). I will try to change it manually but it will not allow me. I try to change transition type and it still does it. This happens in virtually every movie I do but it happens randomly (as far as I can tell) about 10% of the time. Otherwise all transitions default to 00:00:01;00.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

It is happening because you don't have enough handles on the one of the video clips where you are adding the transition. If you are adding a 30 framer centered on the cut you need 15 frames of "unseen" video, or handles, on the incoming or outgoing of the clip to give the transition something to work with. Try to slip the clips a bit to get those handles and it'll work.

  • Can't change default video transition duration in PRE7 project

    I couldn't find the solution  for the following problem. In one of my Premiere Elements 7 projects, suddenly the video transition default duration changed from 30 frames to 3 frames. After inserting this 3 frames long transition, I can adjust it (expanding or shrinking) in the timeline, change the duration via the "Edit Transition" dialog box, however there is no way I can change the default duration. I can change the duration value in the Edit > Preferences > General dialog box but it has no effect on the actual duration. This is true for all transitions. On the other hand, the other projects (I checked a few), also  a new project work properly: In them, the default duration is 30 frames, and I can set it in the Properties dialog box to any other value. So, this problem appears to be project specific. I hope somebody can help me, so I do not have to redo this particular project. Thanks in advance, Laci.

    Steve, This is the same camcorder I have been using the last five years. Other projects from footages taken the same time are working fine. Also, I just created a 'new' (test) project from the same clips (many clips, about 25 minutes, several bmp pictures in it) - and it also works fine! It must be some very peculiar feature of that particular project, and I do not think it is worth to spend more time with it. I just thought that it might have happened with somebody else and there is a known solution. I consider this issue closed, thanks for the help. Laci. (PS: I also have an insignificant problem: I uploaded my picture to my preferences page here a couple of months ago, set it to be displayed but it does not appear. Who could help with this? Thanks.)

    Only transitions applied after the change will be affected.

  • Default Video Transition

    Is it possible to change your default video transition?

    You can save a transition you want to use a lot as a "Favorite" and then it is easily accessible for frequent use.

  • How to apply audio and video transitions automatically when drop multiple clips to timeline?

    If I remember OK, in previos versions of Premiere it was possible to Drag multiple Clips from project area to timeline, and apply automatically audio/video transitions.
    It was possible to configure how many video frames will be overlapped to do a default transitions (and for audio, also).
    Is it possible in Premiere CS6 to do the same thing ?  Leave me a link to documentation, or a hint, how to get this thing done.
    I have searched over the documentation, but i have not found.
    Thanks for hints.

    I believe the feature you're referring to is Automate to Sequence. In CS6, it was in the Project Menu; for those using CC, it is in the Clip Menu.

  • 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.

  • Problem with sound, and problem with video transitions

    For some reason my audio isnt locked with my video anymore so when I move a clip the audio doesnt follow does anyone know how to fix that?
    Also, when I put in video transitions instead of just switching from the first clip to the second clip it flashes an image from other pieces of footage while transitioning and I need to figure out how to fix that too.
    Anyone know how to fix these?
    thanks

    Thanks i got the audio problem fixed.
    When I open up final cut it says some of the media has been disconnected but it then says I can't reconnect it or something like that, I don't know if that effects the transitions. I split up a lot of footage and rearranged it and for one of the places where it flashes a clip it shows one of the pieces of footage that I had deleted because it had a glitch and the other places I noticed it it had random clips from throughout the project, like a flash of an interview that happens way later in the film. So it is random clips that are in the film and even clips that I deleted.

  • 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.

  • Missing video transitions in Premiere CS6

    Greeting everyone,
    It seems that I am missing some 3D motion transition effects in Premiere CS6. I only have Cube Spin and Flip Over, but I know (and have seen) more transitions on other people's installations. I can't seem to find anywhere to download them either. I assumed they came with base CS6, but I don't have them. Where can I download some more? Or how do I restore the ones that I should have?

  • Sound with video transitions.

    Hey, I'm using DVD Studio Pro 3 and I have a video transition for a button between a menu and a track. Now, the video I am using for the transition has sound, however there is not sound in the transition on the dvd.
    Can you not have sound, or is there something I can do to fix this?
    Thanks.

    No probs.
    What you need to do is make a video that looks like one menu is transitioning to the next. Let's say Menu 1 is a .psd (photoshop file) and Menu 2 is a different .psd. Take these files into FCP (or another editing program), perform your groovey transition from Menu 1 to Menu 2, lay your audio underneath it, then export as a .mov, or if you're happy using compressor export it as a .m2v and .ac3
    Then bring your new video into DVDSP and place it into a new menu, lets call it Menu 1>2 (you could also place into a Track but in menus all the User Operations are already disabled).
    Now, with the button that takes you from Menu 1 to Menu 2, remove the transition that you had chosen from the button inspector and simply make the target fro the button the new menu Menu 1>2, when this plays it will look just like your Menu 1 but it will play the transition you have created with the audio, then set the end jump of this menu to Menu 2. You don't put any buttons or anything into Menu 1>2, its just there as a bridge between Menu 1 and Menu 2, and there you have it.
    The up side of this is that you won't get long pause that DVDSP often has when using the preset transitions. The downside is you need to create all your menu transitions this way if you're using audio which can be a lot of work if you're moving between a lot of menus and submenus.
    I hope that makes sense - if not, let me know which bits are foggy.
    Cheers

  • 16:9 Video Transition

    I created a 16:9 video menu, and I also created a 16:9 video transition. I can set the menu to 16:9 but I can't figure out how to set the video transition to 16:9. When I view the transition it fills the screen from left to right, but it is vertically squashed. How can I get it to fill out the screen from top to bottom?
    Thanks

    I had the setings wromg when I exported.
