Video Transitions Menu Changes

When I first go the the Video Transtions Effects menu I see a list of all the types of transitions, including those from third party plugins. I go to one of my supplies group of transions, e.g. "New Blue 3D Explosions" (see picture one below). Once I finish with the effect I want to go back to the same menu. However when I use the back arrow to return to the menu instead of the effects folders I get details of the individual effects rather than the overall envelope of the third party effects group (see picture two).
How do I return to the menu in picture one?
Note: The menu shown in picture two is not the same as the catagory shown in picture one. I photographed the wrong catagory in the second picture.The point is the same however.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How embarassing. I meant to say that I toggled the drop down arrows to  try and return. I found out what the issue was. I had toggled the YUV  button. Once I toggled it back, everything was fine.
Thanks for the response just the same. It caused me to look at the screen shot and try to figure out what I meant. Grin.

  • 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.)

  • Photoshop menu changes when video is applied.

    This is encore CS6
    I have been trying to figure this out for a while and can't seem to. I have a photoshop menu consisting of a white background with text and a couple images. I created a video to apply to the menu.
    On its own, the menu is fine, but when I link it to the video, the menu gets thin black bars on the edges and the video seems to show through a sliver at the bottom. This totally boggles me because I noticed the video peaking through behind the menu, so I cropped the video in PP, re-exported it and it re-appears in Encore as no-cropped and showing thru at the bottom again. Anyways, the main issue probably has something to do with the Photoshop menu not being as big as the video file in dimension or having a different pixel aspect ratio. Though I played around with the PARs in Photoshop to no avail.
    I'd appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Stan,
    That information may very well help me. I don't believe I ever used a layer other than the one called "background". But thats good to know.
    I created a solution to the black edges and sliver of video at the bottom. I created a menu from within Encore (the "Rose Menu HD" menu), clicked on the "edit menu in photoshop" and simply modified that rose menu in photoshop to look like it needed to (like my other menus). This way I was gauranteed that the basics of the menu would be right when it came to size and par.
    The jittering issue is still there. But I did narrow it down to being a problem with the video background. I know this because I created two of the same menus on a test DVD, one with a video background (which ended up jittering) and one without a video background. The one without a video did not jitter at all.
    Thanks.
    Neil,
    what do I do after saving a TIFF image from the video?
    Open Photoshop & from the "File/New" dialogue create a DVD menu (there is a section for this called - from memory - "film & TV" although this may vary depending on version) in the style you want (NTSC Widescreen - not Square Pixel version) and this gets you a base with guides.
    NOw get the paint bucket out & make the background black.
    Open your TIFF file, and drag the image from the "layers" tab into the DVD menu template.
    If it is too large, move it until you can see a corner & poress CTRL/T and turn the imported still into a smart object.
    Hold down the SHIFT key & drag the top left corner down to the bottom right, and when you run out of space stop dragging & slide the image back up to the top left again.
    Repeat until it fits onto your background & then select the usual pointer tool & select "apply transformation".
    That is now your background sorted.
    When you say "jitter", I suspect you mean flicker, as Jitter is caused by bad clocking & is a very different thing.
    Check field orders - are you using HD to DVD? If so be very careful with field order issues. If the video is Progressive you should be okay but if it is compressed MPEG-2 Transport Streams or similar it will almost certainly be Upper Field First whereas the transcode for DVD will probably be Lower Field First.

  • Audio with video transitions?

    Is it possible to include audio when using selfmade video transitions on buttons?

    Welcome to the boards
    No real way to add audio if you are using transitions in buttons (i.e., meaning you are using inspector to set a transition for a button in the inspector, including a transition you add there). Buttons over video can sort of do it, but there will be a gap in the audio. If there is silence in the menu (using BOV) and you jump to a section of the track for the transition, audio can be there. (In the transition section) and you will not hear a change, since going from silence to sound, but when moving around the DVD goes to different sections and there will be a pause.

  • 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

  • Video transitions with audio

    Hello all,
    Is there any way of doing a seamless transition from a menu to track with audio as well as video.
    I'm trying to create an interactive DVD for Children where you click on a rabbit, it then moves in the video transition and then becomes a track where ther is a close up of the movement.
    I have audio on the close up as it is a track but it would make it much better if there was audio on the transition movie.
    thanks for any help

    What sort of programmes do the high end blockbuster DVD producers use?
    Some very high end expensive ones like Scenarist and others. Though between DVD SP, DVD AE and some good encoders (such as bitVice, digigami, or CC running on a MacIntel Windows set-up) you can do some real good things and accomplish many things that need to get done. The real kicker for those DVDs (IMO) is the source footage - cameras, lighting and post work. Dealing with real good source is a plus.
    And of course you have very talented graphics people for the menus and so on. But once those elements are made and encoded to m2v, DVD SP for the most part, with DVD AE, can do alot of the same things. The vast majority of what is on a DVD for many DVDs really is not different. You get your cutsey things and so forth, and things that make you go "coool" especially when you author your own DVDs.
    Jake, Hal and others probably can fill you in more on what they like in the other systems and what they think DVD SP may/does lack, but again DVD SP and DVD AE together is a pretty strong set up.
    There is also other software out there that adds interactivity to DVDs (I think things like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire on DVD and some others may have used variations) but do not hold me to it.

  • 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.

  • Mac-compatible plug-in for feathered-wipe video transitions?

    Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible alternative for SpiceMaster for creating feathered wipe video transitions? I've just been handed off a job (let's just say the company who started it is "no longer in the picture") and all they used feathered wipe via the SpiceMaster plug-in about 100-150 times (in a 15 minute video — sigh). Anyways, I can't change the visual direction of the project, I just have to clean up the mess. We're Mac-only and the SpiceMaster plug-in isn't available on the Mac.
    While one option is to use a liner wipe Video Effect (which allows for the feather), because of the amount of transitions in this job, that's not only a major pain in the arse in itself, but having to move clips in alternating tracks and overlap the footage, etc. becomes a huge headache when they decide to change the edit (as, all of a sudden, the alternating of the clips to different tracks goes all out of wack).
    Anyway, I'm hoping someone could suggest a Video Transition plug-in that would allow me to do feathered wipes. It'd mean the difference between a quick replacing of the SpiceMaster transition with whatever plug-in I could use vs. a nightmare of a project using the linear wipe Video Effect.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
    Kristin.

    Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the gradient wipe, but was unsuccessful in attaining the desired effect. Here's a quick screencap to show what I'm seeing:
    The problem is, this results in a very narrow wipe. I mean, it's no longer a fine line between image1 and image2, there is some feather, but I really need to feather it out. The gradient I created is the same dimensions as the sequence I'm working in, and is a gradient from 100% black on the left side to pure white on the right, with a nice gradient in between. But, when I use this, it's almost like the source gradient is squished in (on the width) resulting in a very narrow feathered wipe.
    Below is an example of the rendered video as it was when using SpiceMaster to create the feathered wipe. The first image is the image directly before the wipe starts, the second image the image directly after the end of the wipe, and the third image is a capture mid-wipe. As you can see, there is a very wide feather during the transition as opposed to what is seen in the screen capture above.
    Am I doing something wrong when creating my custom gradient? It seems like, since my source file is a nice, wide gradient, it should result in a wide feather, but for some reason it seems to squish down into a narrow feather?
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Kristin.

  • What's the best method for video loop + precached video transitions?

    Hello, I am hoping that a kindly Flash guru can send me
    running off in the right direction.
    What I want to do is make a SWF which works in the same
    manner as a DVD menu, using Flash video.
    Simply put, that means having a video loop for the background
    of each 'page', with links to other pages. Each of these links
    would travel through a video transition to reach the next page.
    I am an experienced Java programmer; After Effects user and
    DVD Author but I have to admit that as a beginner to Flash, I find
    the number of ways you can embed video... symbols... media server
    etc. quite confusing.
    All I want to do is have my loops and transitions as FLV
    files on my normal HTTP server, play the current loop while
    precaching the possible transitions etc.
    I am very happy to research the precise coding aspect of this
    but I am hoping someone can tell me which of the (apparently
    numerous) methodologies available is the best one to go down.
    Do I need to have all my objects in the timeline, or can I
    have a single object and reassign the video with code?
    If it helps my video loops and transitions are 400x300 and
    around 4-10 seconds, so the bandwidth requirements aren't
    unreasonable.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    so just make your video as movie clip. >import
    video>deployment>embed video SWF and play in time
    line>symbol type - movie clip > ..... than your video become
    movie clip and you can easily modify like any other MC in time
    line.
    i hope that i'm answering your question so far.

  • Video transition on Adjustment Layer causing errors

    I have video transitions (native, not plug-ins) on an adjustment layer without any effects.  When playing, the video freezes on the last frame before the transition and then continues playing after the end of the transition.  The transition does nothing but hold that frame.  Also, if I try to render the work area or export, I get the "Error compiling movie: Unknown error".  If I remove the transitions, things work ok.
    Starting a New Project and importing the old one did nothing to fix the problem. 
    I've got plenty of RAM and HD space, please help.

    Then...why are you using one.  Just apply the transitions directly to the clips.
    I did this to discover why another project was producing the "unknown error" when rendering and exporting.  I kept everything clean changing one variable at a time on a new project: clip sources, resolutions, transitions, effects, adjustment layer, etc.
              If rendering the sequence works, then that is the appropriate solution. Do you have a red line above the timeline indicating that you need to render? Or do you need to set the opacity at 99% - AND - then render to make it work.
    Simply changing the opacity to 99% worked, no need to render.
              Just out of curiosity, why are you putting transitions on an Adjustment Layer? I can't think of a reason, but then again, I use transitions between nested sequences a lot. Maybe it is in place of that?
    An effect in an adjustment layer is jarring if its transition does not match one applied between clips.

  • How to preview video transitions in CS4

    Is there a way to preview a video transition before applying the effect in the timeline, similar to the feature in Elements 7? Alternatively, is there a site that demonstrates each of these effects so as to save time and avoid having to memorize them all?

    I use butt-cuts, Dip-to-Black and Cross-Dissolves for 99% of my Transitions. There have been a very few others used over the years, but I must have a compelling aesthetic reason to do so.
    Now, I do not do weddings, soccer camp videos, music videos or several other genre of Projects. Were I doing these, then I might be coerced into using a few more, but only if the client offered "hazard pay."
    No, I do not want anybody really noticing any Transition. I want to convey things like a "change of place," or a "passage of time," but on a subliminal level. The most scathing criticism that I could receive would be a viewer asking how I did such-n-such Transition. That would indicate major failure on my part.
    If you look at most feature films, you will see but a very few Transitions, outside of maybe the intro, or the trailer. Obviously, music videos are a major exception, but even concert features normally butt-cut from camera to camera.
    That is also why I never even think about doing things like "Random Pan & Zooms." Each image is unique, and requires that I treat each one as such.
    Some where, I have hundreds of Hollywood FX, that came with earlier programs. All it would take is just a batch file extension change, to use them in PrPro. However, I have seen no reason to even do that. If it is not an integral part of the story, I do not use it. Maybe that's just my days in cine, where there were but three ways to do it?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
