    Layering Video

    Posted by Andy Milam on July 23, 2012 at 4:26 pm

    I have a projects with many video tracks layered on top of each other.

    I use different blend modes, but mostly just set to add.

    Sometimes the transitions are fine.

    But mostly right at the beginning of a new track of video it cuts in when it should be smooth transition.

    Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Are you combining your layers into a compound clip, then adding the transition?

    Andy, I find the way blend-modes and transitions work very inconsistent still. One of the really huge problems in X still.

    it seems to be a problem in the order at which FCPX applies the blend modes.

    You can try to open the video-animation tab (CTRL-V) and fade the clip with the opacity slider. Sometimes that helps.

    Sorry for the bad info 🙁

    Nope, however, I did try making compound clips of all the layered clips with their respective transitions.
