Cross dissolves glitch
a lot of times, especially when you fade from black to footage that is bright, there is a slight shift of the image and a brightness flare, what can i do about it?

Are you rendering at full quality?
Are you only checking for quality on an external video monitor?

yes the render is at full quality and i have checked it on my broadcast monitor and several tv sets.

What kind of footage and can you please give us some info about your setup such as qt, os, fcp versions. With the info you have given is a bit like finding a needle in a hay stack.
When you fade up from black to bright, of course there’s a brightness change, right? And are you absolutely sure the you are not seeing an rt effect? GO to the sequence > render all and sequence > render selection menus and make sure all the options have a check mark next to them (especially full).

Try fading down with the pen tool. You’ll have to have the transparency overlays on. I’m not positive this will solve your problem, but it seems to work well as an alternative to the text shifting problem that occurs when you fade down text using the regular cross dissolve.

I have also seen that effect once. It was strange, as there was no reason for a shift in any way. Somwhow FCP has a little problem with the “hidden slug” when you want to fade to or from black.
This is why I wrote a (very!) small Cross Dissolve plugin, which, at least on my system, solved the problem.
You may download the plugin here for free:

Let me know if this one solves your problem.

Sorry to barge in on this thread, but I just wanted to thank both Peter and Christoph. My last jobs have needed Peter’s 30 sec BBC clock and Christoph’s plug ins have been fantastic – fixing dropouts, doing credit rolls and jazzing up transitions. I have just scratched the surface but very impressed so far.
