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.

Video transition effects

Hi,
Suddenly out of no where, when I click on two split video clips that are touching (on the same track), it no longer highlights the area to allow me to apply transitional effects... However, I can right click and it will give me "add cross dissolve".
I don't understand.. It's almost as if any edits after a certain point in the sequence will no longer allow me to select edit points for transitional effects-- But if I go back a few minutes on the time line, I can cut and add all the ones I want.. Is this a bug???
-patrick

Are you sure the clips are touching? Zoom into the timeline and make sure.
If they are, what happens when you just drag a transition from your transition effects bin and drop it on the cut point? Or what happens when you add a dissolve by right clicking on the cut point?

DVD Menu Transition Effects

I have successfully created a motion graphic DVD menu in AE, which I have rendered to be authored in Encore. The theme is horror/thriller with thriller theme for the BG music. There are two(2) selecitons on the main menu:
Play Movie Bonus Features
When the user chooses Play Movie, I would like a transition effect leading to the main video to be played. And maybe a different transition effect when the user selects Bonus Features before getting into the submenu of bonus features.
Can anyone sugguest any resources (e.g., books, manuals, blogs, video resources, courses, etc.) that can provide a tutorial on how to perform the procedure(s) in AE and EN?
Your assistance would be highly appreciated.

The ones I am seeing are not for transitions specifically - quite a few bad links. And the ones I see may be for older versions.

The regular help files may be instructive. But note that the links to videos do not go to the actual videos.

Enabling transition effects window pane

Hello
I'm playing around with CS5.5 and currently reached tutorial 6: Applying transitions in Adobe Premiere Pro, on the CS5.5 tutorial list.
My problem involves showing the transition pane in the CTI. The disolve transition effect works in video when I click and drag the effect between two video panes but it's not producing one for its self. Because of this I can't expand the time of the transition.
Perhaps someone could offer a solution so the Cross Disolve pane appears, or a work around that allows me to adjust the interval length.
I'm sure the answer is quite simple but I'm pretty new to this so thanks for your patience.

Thanks,
I read that over but my transition effects between clips are still not manageable. The clips don't show up in the effects panel nor can I click on the transition effect in the effects panel.

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)

Premiere Pro CS4 Loose transition effect after exporting.

Hey everyone. Still a little new to Pro, but have searched for an answer to this question with no luck. I have about a 4 minute project which consists of titles, still images and video and audio. I have 5 opening titles, each 3 seconds long. I have set the 'dip to black' transition effect between each of them. After exporting to media - Windows AVI, the effect is gone on just these clips. All other transitions work great. I am doing this on my Vista Ultimate Dual Core 1.8 GHz 32-bit PC with 3GB of RAM. I am exporing to NTSC DV.
I did try exporting the exact same project on my work laptop. Windows XP, 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and it worked just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

The glow is best done with a plugin from trapcode called Shine. They also have an effect called sparkle which should accomplish the effect in your video example.
Shine is preetty much a standard plugin for AE or Pr. Its a bit overused though.
http://www.trapcode.com/products_shine.html
In fact I did a tutorial for Shine a while back. Maybe it will help. Though it was done on Pr ver 1; but the plugin works the same.

N97 Transition Effect Problem

As you all know that the N97 user interface is not attractive due to the lack of the real transition effects, my 5800 have a nice iphone like transitions, but for the N97 the transition effect is very simple! Only some sliding menus and that’s it!! I wonder where is the screen orientation swivel effect we've seen in early N97 prototype videos? However, once I enable the transition effects on my N97 it will start to become unstable with crashes and it will affect some other programs like the photo gallery (will hang sometimes and gives low res pictures or just the whole program will go to the background while using the zoom button!) and the Web browser will start to display mid and large websites without images!!! I tried to reload the page so many times but only the text appears without any image! After trying so many times at last the page loaded successfully with all images but my happiness didn't last as I discovered that the phone turned off the transition effects automatically! When I went to the themes menu to check, it was turned on but actually it’s not working as the phone disabled it in order to load the web page! It happened to my three times since I updated my firmware last week (V 11)! I think this is because of the lack of enough RAM, I removed all the online widgets from the home screen (like facebook and accuweather) and just used contacts, programs, calendar, email, and music shortcuts which gave me additional 5 MB of free RAM and the phone felt more stable but still can’t handle the transition effects and proper Web pages display simultaneously! My 5800 handles web pages better and display all images even if the transition effects are turned on! I hope Nokia will fix these issues and gives us an option to disable the Widgets and Kinetic scrolling (Make the UI just like the 5800) in order to have more free RAM and enjoy full transition effects and proper Web Browsing with better stability just like the 5800.

Any updates on the effects? I wrote to Nokia support, I'm in Russia, they replied.
I have illustrated my question with the links to youtube where it is clearly visible how the UI rotates and other animation effects when opening the widgets.
My translation of the official reply:
"In firmware version 11 those effects do work! Try to resent the phone to the factory settings by typing: *#7780#, standard lock code is - 12345 or try to format the phone memory. Do your data and contacts back up using PC Suite . enter *#7370# (formats phone memory), enter the code 12345 the phone will resent. Then restore your back up."

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

Logic Plug-ins Video Tutorial

Does Apple sell a video tutorial on how to use Logic 7's soft-snyth and effects plug-ins?
I have the books / manuals, but I learn much better with video.
Much like the video Tutorial I purchased with the Absynth 3.
I also would like to get a video on the EX24. Reading the manual gets tricky, especially when you don’t know the terminology.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
