Cross Dissolve stopped working

Richard,

I am not sure what exactly is going on. Can you post a video capture of the exact problem?

For control D to work of course, you must exactly be at the cut, and the cut must be in the target track, and both clips on the same track …

Hi Aanarav,

Thanks for the reply. There’s no way to show you a picture of the problem, first because it’s a dissolve (motion picture problem) but also because it’s NOT working. (IOW, how do you show a picture of something that isn’t happening? 🙂

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, as I originally stated, I’m using a Control-K, Control-D sequence, so cut alignment is not the problem. This also presupposes that the target track is selected and both are on the same track. (otherwise I wouldn’t be able to control-k,d and have the transition appear.

I’m wondering……….is it POSSIBLE that the “Cross-Dissolve” transition algorithm (which is not tweakable other than in the preferences along with the global transition prefs, right?) is somehow corrupted???

The reason I ask (at the risk of seeming to repeat myself) is that so many people have written on the various forums about this problem and no one seems to have an answer for it. (Which is what you’d expect if only some people saw a BUG emerge, but couldn’t figure out the problem)

Remember: This only happens on CROSS DISSOLVE….The other transitions work just fine, and if I change the Control-D default keyboard shortcut to the other transitions, they work fine with the keys or dragging.

Just to restate the problem:

When I control-k, control-d (default cross dissolve premiere pro transition) on the TIMELINE, the razor cut appears, the cross dissolve appears, but playing back the transition back doesn’t take frames from either side of the cut, thus there is NO dissolve in/out from one side of the footage to the other. In the past, this feature has worked properly without dragging the footage manually in the “effects controls” box, but does not seem to work the same now, and must be manually dragged for every transition. Additive dissolve and dip to black, BOTH work without further configuration when used as the default transition. Changing the transition length in general prefs has no effect (unless of course, I manually drag the footage in the effects control, as previously described.

Thanks,

Richard

Dag,

Did you ever get any satisfactory resolution to this problem? I ma having the exact same problem, but I can’t find a straight answer anywhere. The “Clip handles and transitions” answer simply doesn’t apply to this problem.
