  • insert transition doesn’t work?

    Posted by Stephen Adams on August 21, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    I have FCP 5. When I drag a clip from the viewer to the canvas and insert “with transition” for some reason the effect does not happen? It doesn’t happen either when I do it for the overwrite “with transition” as well. What to do???????????

    Its all there, the video effect where I want the transition to occur and still nothing. It works when I go to the effect tab and do the effect but I wonder why the transition effect is not working in the canvas?
    WHAT TO DO????????

    Please confirm that you understand what handles are and that you have them on the clips to which you are trying to apply the transition.

    Hi Tom, I know what handles are. I’m doing what I’ve always been doing. Then suddenly the transition doesn’t work. Is it a setting?
