Dip to white bug ?
-
I think the question has been answered as we are understanding it, but it sounds like the OP might be asking something else.
Dave, if you have a clip and split it in the middle, then apply the dip to white transition. Does the transition go to white and then back to video, or white to black and then video?

Dip to white is a double sided transition and not meant to be used as a single sided transition.

Ok, if it’s ADDING black I can see your point. For example if the clip/transition is on V2 and on V1 there is other video, I could argue that it should dip to white, and then fade from white to nothing, which would actually fade to the lower V1 track. So, creating a flash to white and then fade to either a black background, or the lower video track. In other words, lacking a clip on the b side of the transition, it would dip to white, and then fade to transparent. That makes sense. Is that what you’re looking for? Or are you looking for it to dissolve to white, and then cut to the next thing? What do you want to happen after it hits white?

TS; Any Idea on how I can get it to dip to white and stay white till the end of the clip ?
Yes superimpose a white colour matte and keyframe the opacity.

Kris, if applied to a split clip it goes to white then back to video as one would expect.
Bret, I tested again with a color matte below and when applied to the end of a clip i.e. not sitting across 2 clips it does go white to transparent rather than black, it just shows black if you don’t have another clip or color matte underneath.
Ann, thank you for the suggestion
Thanks all for your replies it looks like at the moment keyframing is the only option.

No… creating a white solid, adding it to the end of the clip and inserting a dissolve is much easier and faster IMO.

Operates as expected and designed then. It’s a standard transition that exists in Avid, FCP, Premiere and probably every NLE. They all function the same.
However – in FCP 7 I gave it a try and if you adjust the end of the transition to 50%, it will react as you desire. Go to white half way through, then stay white for the second half, then cut. In premiere, making the end 50% makes the middle 25%.
-
I wouldn’t say it operates as expected, and all NLE’s don’t all operate the same as you have kindly highlighted that FCP 7 apparently have designed the effect and executed it as it should work. I suspect its still a glitch in the programming.
I would be interested to hear if avid dip to white allows you to finish on white.
Don’t get me wrong I love premiere, it’s a fantastic product, I think communities like these and our discussions ultimately encourage Adobe to deliver a more flexible and desirable product.

[Dave Rogers] “Kris, if applied to a split clip it goes to white then back to video as one would expect.”
Okay, you have confirmed that the transition is behaving normally. What else were you expecting it to do? If you have no video on the timeline, the default image (or lack of one) is black. If you place a transition and the end of a clip with no visible video after or underneath the transition, you will end up with a black image. If you would like a color, then create a color matte (or video clip) as stated by Ann and place cut it in where you need.
If that is not what you are trying to get at then I am still confused. It might help to post a screenshot of a portion of your sequence with the transition applied so we can take a look at what you are trying to explain.

I was expecting the start and end controls to have some effect but they do not effect a dip to white or any other dissolve based transition, dip to black, film dissolve etc.The preview panels in the effect controls area do update as you scrub the start and end points but the dissolve itself does not change.
You can try it for yourself drop a dissolve transition across 2 clips, move the play head to a point where you can see the transition happening between the clips then scrub the start and end controllers for the transition. The preview panels below the start/end controls show the effect of the changes but the it does not change the transition itself highlighted by the play head. The start end points have no effect on the transition itself only on the preview panel displays ?!
I would be grateful if you could try this and let me know if you have the same results or whether I have a glitch on my system.
