When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.

hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing. -
When I create a new project in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip. I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?
This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!
I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust. -
I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?
You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Hello?
I bought a new/used open item macbook pro and tried to connect my iphone to it but it indicated I did not have the newest version of itunes. when i try to download it, at the end of the download, I receive an error message indicating the file is corrupt.Hi Barbara,
I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7, who like myself was a newbie on this platform, b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.

HELP! Video Freezes One Second before the end of the Clip!
I just started using iMovie about a month ago. So far so good.
All of sudden, whenever I put two clips together or edit out a section of a video, the end of the first clip always freezes for about 1 second and then goes on to the next clip.
Sometimes, one or two frames from the excised clip will pop up really fast between the two clips. When I try to edit the two frames out, it starts freezing the end of the first clip.
I've seen this asked a time or two on the forum but got no response.
Please help!You should try trashing iMovie's preference file:
Close iMovie. Go YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry. iMovie will create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
Open iMovie. See if the problem with the clips has resolved.
Note: if you also have iMovie 8 on your computer, the plist for it will call it imovie7, so be sure to trash the appropriate file. -
MuVo - When new track begins I cannot rewind back into the end of the previous tra
Hi all, here is my problem. i tried to put it in a formal way to ease the reading.
Player: Creative MuVo 52MB TX FMFirmware: Creative MuVo TX FM Audible Firmware Upgrade Version .3.03
Problem: When new track begins I cannot rewind back into the end of the previous track. If I want to hear the end of a track I have to start from the beginning and fast <SPAN>froward through the tracks entirety towards the end of the track. This is especially frustrating when listening to a 20+ minute podcast or audiobook and all I want is to here the last couple of minutes. As stated in the user manual "frequent use of fast <SPAN>froward/reverse" will use more battery power and this is not an acceptable solution for wanting to hear the last couple of minutes. (Usually this happens when i am interrupted and the next track has already started, etc.)
Suggested solution: If a user is at 00:00:00 and the user holds the rewind button then user shall start rewinding from then end of the last track. An analogy of this would be if you fast <SPAN>froward to a new chapter on a DVD player and then press and hold rewind, it allows you to rewind through the end of the skipped chapter. Please include this functionality in the next firmware update.
thanks for your time, nickcNick,
Great suggestion. FYI, I have similar hardware to yours:
Player: Creative MuVo 256MB TX FMFirmware: Creative MuVo TX FM Audible Firmware Upgrade Version .3.03
I imagine there are several ways to implement your idea. One way would be to have the firmware let you: () begin rewinding from any point in the current program; (2) when rewind reaches the 00:00:00, a tone could be emitted (this would alert the user that s/he has reached the beginning of the current program); (3) then the user could either decide to stop there or (4) by holding down the rewind, say, 2-3 seconds, the rewind would be forced to 'skip' back to the end of the previous program.
If the user is not listening to the program while rewinding (and thus cannot hear the tone), this should not be a problem, as the display would make clear what is happening.
On another issue...
Regarding your comment "...creative does a good job with the timing of the fast-foward/rewind feature available now," I beg to differ. In my experience, the timing of the TX FM's rewind makes it very difficult for a user to do an 'instant replay' of a short audiobook section. This is frequently needed when a narrator's voice is unclear, or the user is distracted by something.
For example, say I want to review the last 5 seconds. This is impossible, as the rewind specifications cause the rewind to behave approximately as follows:
- First 3 seconds realtime rewinds program 6-7 seconds
- After that, each second realtime rewinds 30 seconds; so each additional second rewinds 30 seconds
- Of course, it gets faster and faster thereafter (in 30-second, 5-minute, and 5-minute segments)
You see, therefore, that it is impossible to efficiently skip back 5 seconds, as the rewind goes back 6-7 seconds, then skips all the way back to the 37-second point. The only way to go back 5 seconds (a couple of sentences) is to: () overshoot your target by an unknown number of seconds, then wait a long time until your desired segment appears, or (2) tediously rewind 5-6 seconds; wait until the TX FM is ready for another rewind; rewind another 5-6 second segment; wait again; then rewind another short segment to get to the 5-seconds-back point. For the most part I use method (2), but do not always release the rewind button in time each of 3 times before the accelerated rewind kicks in. What a drag!
The Audible Otis player, as I recall, did not have this particular problem, though its buttons were harder to manipulate.
I would doubt whoever designed this rewind specification has experience listening to audiobooks.
CREATIVE: We need a rewind function that eventually picks up speed, but I would recommend that the most recently played approx. 30 seconds of program time be accessible via a rewind compressed to appox. 5 seconds realtime.

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?
I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch. -
Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !! -
Detecting the end of a movie clip
Hi,
Objective: Display a book that the user can turn the pages to
view more text. I used a tutorial from the web to create the
turning page.
Process: On layer 1, frame 1 of the main time line, I put an
image of a book. On layer 2, frame 1 and also frame 2 of the main
time line, I put text for the book. I then created a movie clip
(MC) called PageTurnMC that looks like a page in the book is being
turned. On layer 3 of the main time line, I put an instance of the
MC and called it PageTurn. On layer 4 of the main time line, I put
a button to play the MC and advance to frame 2 called drawer1cont
(see code).
//code on the button used to turn the book's page
on (release) {
PageTurn.play(); //plays my PageTurnMC
gotoAndStop("drawer1cont"); //advance to the next frame of
text
Problem: I need to detect when the end of the MC before I
advance to the next frame. I have to use the PageTurnMC many times,
so it is not possible for me to put the action in the last frame of
MC. As of right now, my frame 2 text appears as the PageTurnMC
plays which is not what I want.
Thanks for any help.I just tested it and got my quick example to work. Here are a
couple of possible areas to double check:
In the last frame of PageTurnMC, gotoAndStop must reference
the main movie clip, e.g. _root.gotoAndStop().
Also, make sure the parameter _root.frameID isn't in quotes
because it is a variable, not the actual string.
As I said, I'm not a Flash expert nor do I know the setup of
your movie, but this should work as long as you have all of your
references correct. If you can't get it to work, try to trace
necessary variables to make sure you are accessing the appropriate
variable.
The suggestion by nilu_only will also work, but it will waste
some cycles because you will have to wait for the movie clip to
end. Here is what I mean:
Immediately after playing PageTurn, accessing
PageTurn._currentFrame will return the currentFrame only once. So
if PageTurn isn't on its lastFrame, your condition statement
(PageTurn_currentframe == PageTurn._totalframe) will fail and
gotoAndStop will never be called.
Instead, you would need to wait for some time and continually
check the _currentFrame until the condition statement is true, e.g:
on (release) {
PageTurn.play();
while (PageTurn_currentframe != PageTurn._totalframe) {}
//wait until reaches the last frame
gotoAndStop ("drawer1cont")
This approach is likely to be suboptimal since you are
wasting cycles checking the current frame instead of just having
the movie let you know when it has reached the last frame.
Depending on how Flash handles that while statement, you could have
serious slowdown from that while statement. And since Flash doesn't
have a sleep() function, you would have to do some sort of
setTimeout() to slow down those checks. Either way, I would venture
to say this approach is better off avoided. -
How to detect the end of a movie clip: what eventListener to use?
I'm doing a rather fancy button with up,down,rollover,rollout,and static states, something the standard flash button structure isn't capable of as far as I can tell, and believe me, I've tried it.
Here's the setup: My main timeline has a series of frames with stop(): scripts, and each frame has a movie clip representing what should happen during that state: still, rollover, rollout, mousedown, mouseup
I can't get the mouseup event to work.
Here's what I've tried so far that doesn't work:
1. in the imbedded movieclip, no script at the end. Result: This just loops the embedded clip.
2. in the imbedded movieciip, put gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: loops clip
3. in the imbedded movieciip, put root.gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: error
I think what I need to do is write an eventListener for the root actionscript, but I don't know what event to listen for.
What event is thrown when a movieclip finishes playing?
:<)McFriscoYou have to create your own mechanism(s) for detecting the end of a movieclip being reached. You can either build code into the end of the clip itself, possibly dispatching an event that is being listened for by a containing timeline, or you could continuously monitor the currentFrame of the clip to see if it equals the totalFrames value.

How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.
You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app. -

Hi, after updating my iphone since 2 weeks back now i am facing a battery problem i charce fully my iphone and by the end of the day my iphone shuts down it needs to be charged again and if i didi some calles it leaks after few hours. Please adivse me what to do.
I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.
