Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Transition Bug

  • Posted by Dirk Bullard on March 17, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    I recently upgraded to 6.0.5. All new projects do not allow me to Option click on a dissolve already on the timeline and drop it on other clips in the timeline. Also, if I double click a dissolve to open the viewer window I can’t grab the “hand” and drop it on other clips in the timeline. I can’t save any transitions in Favorites (except the default cross disolve) because they all change to 1 frame. Copy/Paste doesn’t work with dissolves either. This isn’t a problem on older projects that I created before the upgrade. Ideas????

    Dirk- When I’m tired it is usually from lack of sleep. When I can’t do transitions it is usually from lack of slop. Can you say handles?

    It’s not a handle problem. Plenty of room on both sides. It happens with video, pics, and grfx.

    It seems like you have a lot of prefs on how you like to work like I do. When I updated to 6.0.5 I had plenty of strange things happening with FCP and I had to recreate my window settings. Things cleaned up a lot, but I still decided to delete my prefs and start anew.
    Try this:
    click Control U
    that will get you on the Standard FCP window layout. Try doing what you couldn’t before like save a transition. If you can now then I would recreate new window settings in FCP 6.0.5.
    If the problem persists you probably have to delete your prefs and create new ones in FCP 6.0.5

    good luck,

    Victor
