Cross Dissolve
I have a 1-second clip of moving clouds and I wanted to make it into 30-seconds. I did a copy-paste and use cross dissolve between to clips. Cross dissolve did a linear transition (low intensity to high intensity). Is there a way to modify the curve of the cross dissolve to make a continuous transition? Any recommendation to make my 1-sec clips into 30-secs?

First before anything else…is there a way you can get a little longer shot of the clouds? Also, what frame rate is it at? If the frame rate is low, you don’t really have many frames for the effect to do a decent job. You could try shortening the start and end time for the effect in the effects panel, but if you do it too much then it will look choppy. 10 frames per end is borderline for a smooth fade like what you are looking for in my opinion. If it’s captured at say 24fps, then you really only have 4 extra frames to play with.
Now if it was recorded at 60 frames per second, you might be able to slow down the image to get a longer clip without it being jumpy but maybe not for a full 30 seconds.

I agree with Jeff here.
You have way too short a clip to really do a decent cloud loop, which is certainly what you are looking for.
I might suggest a bit of shooting or to buy some footage — and there are lots of really inexpensive places to buy footage from these days.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
