Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Video transitions not showing

  • Video transitions not showing

    Posted by Bernardo Ayson on May 17, 2011 at 3:09 pm

    I have created a sequence in FCP with multiple clips with no video transitions. Then I sent it to COLOR for grading. After rendering I sent it back to FCP to add video transitions. I chose cross dissolve. Now everytime I play the edit points I see no transition. Only the cut between clips. I tried rendering. Still no cross dissolve.

    Then I exported the color graded sequence to a quicktime movie. I created a new project/sequence and imported the quicktime move to the timeline and spliced it along the original edit points and added cross dissolve on the edit points. Still no cross dissolve.

    Help.

    When you rendered in Color, you need to add handles to the clips so you can add transitions… there has to be unused media just as there has to be in FCP. Color only renders the material sent, not the whole clip the shots came from. Is this what is happening? Had you added the dissolves before you sent to color, Color will add the necessary media needed, but will not show you the dissolves. They will return when you send back to FCP. No need for a new project file either.
