  • Cross dissolve issue…

    Posted by Esther Casas on September 29, 2009 at 5:35 pm

    Hi!
    I am having trouble adding a cross dissolve of 30frs in between my clips. I already Marked IN and OUT points away from the edges of my footage, more than 15 frames, and I still get “Insufficient Content”message…i take the 2 clips individually and mark the points.

    Am I setting up in and out points wrong?? i am doing mark out point at the end of the 1st clip (more than 15frs before the end) and Mark in at the beginning of the 2nd clip (more than 15frs from the start), also tried split video in and out at the same positions….

    what am i doing wrong??

    thank you all,
    E

    The way you have it set up right now you can only do 15 frame dissolves. You need at least 30 frame handles on each clip to do 30 frame dissolves.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi!
    thanks for the fast answer. But i actually set it up again farther up and down, and same problem.

    can you tell me EXACTLY how i should set up independently the 2 clips?
    when i set up in and out from one and i want to do it on the next clip, the in and outs form the 1st open disappeared…

    do i have to use mark in and out or mark split video in and out???
    i looked at tutorials and apparently i select and mark individually, but when i do it, the other clip’s marks disappeared..I am doing this marks on the same video track….not sure what is wrong!
    thank you…

    Try it this way-

    1- Open the Effects Tab in the Browser.
    2- Find the Cross Dissolve effect (audio or video) that you want to use.
    3- Change the length (in the Length Column.)
    4- Drop that effect onto the edit point.

    You can drop the effect just before the cut, “on” the cut, or just after the cut-

    Thank you, but i already tried that…doesn’t work 🙁

    i guess my main concern is that i didn’t set up properly the ins and outs, can u tell me exactly how to do that in 2 independent clips, separately?
    thank you
