Cross Dissolve issue – FCP 7
Edit Specs: FCP 7/ 25FPS / PAL / ProRess 422 (LT)
Effect added: ‘Cross Dissolve’
Problem: Only during the Cross-Dissolve the clip slightly brightens up (both the clips are in silhouette and during the transition one can see details that are otherwise completely black in the silhouette)The brightening is ugly.
How do i solve this?
Thank you,

Are you dealing with anything using premultiplied alpha channels?

Have you tried rendering that effect?

Thanks for the reply Mark.
I’m sorry, but not too sure what ‘premultiplied alpha channels’ mean. -
Thanks for the reply Karlo.
Yes, I did a full render on the effect and its still there. Its even there on the export.

What is the codec of the footage you are working with? What are the sequence settings?

I’ll dive into the water…while this is not a ‘fix’, this should be a work around that has helped me a bunch of times.
I’m not sure if you have an effect on the clips? If so, then it’s a common problem when trying to dissolve between clips with effects. If not, it might be an issue with the LT?
In any case, what you want to do is export both clips as stand alone movie files. Then re-import those clips back into your sequence-then add the dissolve to the new clips. It shouldn’t have any issues. A better idea would be to try testing the clips with the export in a new sequence to check if you see the brightness shift. Once you know the clips and the dissolve works correctly in the new sequence, then you’ll know if it’s an issue with the dissolve or the sequence.
Good Luck,
