create custom transition using keyframes?
Hi — I am trying to create a custom transition using keyframes, in order to apply these same keyframes to hundreds of clips.
I have tried to just copy/paste attributes for the keyframes, but that does not work. Because all of my clips are different lengths, they keyframes are distributed differently from clip to clip. No good.
So this is why I am trying to just take my keyframes from one clip, create a transition, and apply those exact same keyframes to the rest.
Is this possible? Thanks so much!!

Wow, thanks! I can’t believe I didn’t see that checkbox. Voila!
Except …
In each clip I have a transition happening at the beginning and end of every clip. So now that I have pasted the keyframes, the outgoing transitional effect happens at the wrong time on the rest of the clips, since they are of different lengths.
Thus, in this case, it actually would be much better to be able to create a custom incoming/outgoing transition. That way I could just apply it at the beginning and end of each clip, regardless of the clip’s length.
Is there a way to do this?

What if you put an Add Edit at the right time and applied it there?

Yeah, that would work … except for the fact that I cannot slice the clip at all. It is actually a ‘countdown’ generator, and if I slice it, then the time on it would be reset. The countdown needs to stay fluid the whole time.
Thus — the desire to just be able to drop a transition on the front and back end of the clip.

Ah, yeah…bummer…can you nest a countdown? Or export it and bring it back in…

No … I have hundreds, maybe thousands of these to do, so I don’t have the time to do all that.
What I need is just to be able to create a custom transition from keyframes, then apply it throughout.I know that you can create custom transitions from filters, so why not from keyframes? So far I have done lots of research, found nothing. But it makes no sense! Why shouldn’t you be able to create a transition from keyframes?! 🙂
