Cube Spin issue in Final Cut Pro
I’m using FCP on a Mac OSX. In my original sequence, I put a cube spin on the end of one clip, and the next clip lined up beneath the transition, then did the same for the next clip. At first things seem to work. But the next time I play the sequence or change anything, only the first outgoing clip and the last incoming clip spin as a cube. The video inbetween plays as if no effects are on them. I’ve tried bringing just these clips into a seperate sequence, but the same problem occurs. I’ve rendered these clips and transitions as a quicktime movie and still no luck. Has anyone come across this, maybe even have a solution for me?

First off for something like a cube effect you want to have the transition connect two clips. It sound as if you had a clip above another and were trying to transition downward (hopefully this makes some since).
Any way it sounds like the ones that aren’t working are either doing a simple dissolve or are taking with no transitional effect. Open each one of these and in the viewer at the top make sure the transition is set to ‘center on Edit’ which is a bevelled button with a triangle shape on. It sounds like your effects are on ‘end at edit’ which is to the right of the one you want. This should fix the problem.
if that didn’t work, on the right of the Viewer there is a small arrow on a bevelled button. Click this to flip the arrow.

Hi Marcial
it sounds like you are new to Final Cut Pro. Transitions between clips are applied
on the same video track in Final Cut Pro. If you put all of the clips you wish to transition between
with cube spin on the one sequence and on the one video track you will find you can apply the cube spin transition
to every edit point – at clip end and clip begin. Double clicking on the transition icon will allow you to change the duration and
editable properties of the cube spin in the viewer window. If you invoke help from the final cut pro menu and go to the Final Cut Pro User manual
you will find a concise explanation of transitions at this page – II-377.Best Regards

Thanks for the advice. I’ve never been formally trained, mostly under the gun, but have been working in FCP for a little while. This should help.
