  Cross Dissolve Problem

  Posted by Sybille on October 18, 2006 at 8:49 am

  Ok, I copied everything to a new project – same problem (unrelated frames in the background of a transition between 2 other clips). But now on top of that, sometimes it doesn’t even create any transition at all! I have no files in Render media. People are telling me to dump preferences – what exactly does that mean? Please tell me step by step. Go into User Preference? which folder (general, editing…etc)? Do I just uncheck everything? Also, the apple8 isn’t working as default transition anymore – it’s just gone light grey & I have no idea how to get it back.
  Please help…
  Thanks,
  Billy

  The first problems sounds as if you’re seeing frames from outside of the shot as the clip is extended to create the necessary handles for the transition overlap.

  Cmd-8 is not the shortcut for default transition. That’s log and capture. Cmd-T is the shortcut for the default transition.

  It’s possible the transition is not available because there isn’t enough media to create the overlap. Do you understand about handles?

  All the best,
