  CD audio

  New to FCP. Learning something new everyday. CreativeCow is a wonderful resource. Sometimes when I try to add a transition between clips to the timeline, it won’t let me. A little “x” appears along with curser, which means “ain’t gonna happen” I presume. Why is this happening?

  What does this question have to do with “CD Audio”?

  Regardless.

  It indicates that you do not have enough media at the end (and/or beginning) of your clips for a transition.
  You need to have extra frames before and/or after the section of the clip(s) that you are USING to allow for “overlapping” transitions (dissolves, wipes, etc).

  If you are having trouble fading or mixing from the end of one CD track to the beginning of another, you need to place the edit-point EARLIER in the out-going clip, and/or LATER in the in-coming clip.

  In the case of TAPE-source transitions:
  I suggest that you make a STILL-FRAME on the last frame of your clip and fade THAT out for as long as you want.

  -OR-

  Change the SPEED of your clip (slow-mo) and that will allow for a longer fade-out length.

  -OR-

  Go back to your original tape and CAPTURE a longer clip (make the OUT-point LATER)
  and then edit this longer clip in instead of the one you’re using now.
