Question

My transitions aren't applying correctly. With video explanation!

I've set the default transition as dip to black. I select some clips and apply default transitions. Only some transitions get dip to black applied to them. I have to manually drag dip to black to the other transitions. When I manually do this the transition still works.

Another video. I have dip to black set at 2 seconds, center at cut. The first transition applied correctly. The second only applied for 1;16 (why?) and not centered at cut. I have to manually adjust this and it ends up working. The third transition is only 0;28 and start at cut (why???). When I manually charge it to 2 seconds center at cut it actually does become 2 seconds centered at cut. There's nothing stopping the 2 second center at cut from working, but Premiere just doesn't apply it.

    I noticed I was having this issue with clips that I edited in audition, done via right-click "Edit clip in adobe audition". I literally added a cut to the middle of a clip that wasn't working with another clip (couldnt add transitions or change the alignment option like you), and it let me add a transition. Looking in the effects controls panel when highlighting the contant power effect, you can see it deosn't recognize that there are other clips there? I feel this is the road to a solution. I will post with updates.

    I get it. There's no overlap. No handles.My issue is that for this particular transition there is no logical reason why there even needs to be handles, or overlaps. It's dip to black. I can see you needing it for something like cross dissolve, but dip to black? And as you can see from the video, dip to black still works 100% if I just go in and force it to be 2 seconds, centered at cut. I just want the first clip to fade to black and the second clip to immediately fade into view from black. No overlap necessary. In fact, there can even be a black gap of zero footage in between the clips and it shouldn't affect it, other than creating a longer transition.

    I can fix this by trimming each clip by 30 frames on each end. So how do you select a bunch of clips and do this trimming all in one go? I'm not clicking on 50 clips and manually setting trim points for each clip at 30 frames.

    So are you saying that "Dip to Black" is an effect that does NOT end at CUT by Default?


    I can't believe that people still have trouble understanding this.

    Break down the dip to black transition into fundamentals.

    All it does is take one clip and fade it out into black.

    Then it takes the second clip and fades it into view *from* black.

    No overlap needed. No handles needed. Hell, the two clips don't even have to be joined together for this transition to still work properly. It's that simple.

    Centered at cut isn't working for you because you have insufficient handles. See the crosshatch pattern on your transitions? Use 'start at cut' or 'end at cut' instead.
