Question

Cross dissolve

  • October 25, 2024

Hello

I'm using the 2022 version for this edit. 

Two things are happening:

1. For the first cut, when I apply the simple cross dissolve- I only see the effect laying on the 2nd video track- the little "cross dissolve" icon is sitting only on the 2nd cut and I cannot center it between the 2 cuts.

2. When I try cutting further into the video, now the dissolve straddles the two clips, lining up evenly between them, but, no matter which side of the dissolve I pull to make longer, it is doing it evenly for BOTH side.

In other words, I cannot have the dissolve longer on the first clip as it crosses into 2nd.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks much

If I remember correctly pressing the 'alt' key will let you drag just one side. If you only get the crossfade on one side of an edit you might not have long enough handles or there might be a short gap between the clips.

Thank you so much for reply. I've solved the 2nd problem- if I drag the dissolve I can creat a "lopsided" dissove.

I am completely stumped by the first problem, so far, no matter what I try- the dissolve is settling completely on that

2nd cut! No gap between the clips. Included a screen shot.

Thanks again!

Zoom in on the timeline.

There may be a gap between the clips.
