  Problems With Transitions

  Posted by Kamal Bayy on August 22, 2012 at 10:52 pm

  Hey ,

  So basically I’ve edited my whole entire music video already but I want to add transitions to it now . When I go to the transitions tab and try to drag one of them in between two clips it moves all of the other clips in the project which doesn’t sync the music and the video! Is there a way for me to place a transition in between two clips without the rest of the video moving and becoming out of sync ?

  Thanks

  Kamal

  select the edit and double click the transition you want to use instead of dragging.

  Humm. What version of FCP are you on? Older versions (I think before 10.0.3) used to have an option in preferences witch let you decide how to handle transitions. Overlap or Use Available Media I believe. If you have one of those old versions make sure “Use Available Media’ is selected.

  The behavior now is that if a “full overlap” is needed FCP will warn you.
