Brian –

I’ve used fractal noise to animate grain in the past. It worked for showing motion in grain for some grain safety videos.

I’m assuming the transition is only being applied to the track with the “V1” marked on the left hand side of the timeline. PP CC 2014 seems to require that you be very specific about what you do and how you do it. Previous versions of PP were looser as to how your actions were implemented. Hadn’t decided if I really like this more precise methodology or not. I’ve found lots of places were adobe has changed “features” like this.

Good luck!!

Correct – in past versions (CS6) I had not run into this – so it surprised me. I had to search out what you were talking about “patched tracks”. Not sure if I like it or not – maybe once I get used to it I’ll learn to love it.

Thanks for pointing out what I needed to research.

For those of you that don’t know about patching tracks and other stuff – see this link – it was very helpful:

Kevin –

Not sure what you mean by “Is your Timeline patched correctly?”

Double clicking the clip plays the clip in the source monitor with audio – when I insert the clip from source monitor into the sequence – the audio vanishes.

In CS6 PP – using the same sequence properties it works just fine.

Thanks!

Followup to 1st post –

Same thing happened with a Canon .mov file.

I like the “squishy” term. I also liked that it would work sorta.

For my sequence, since I couldn’t do a cross dissolve at the cut I made it a dip to black. My work around was to separate the clips so that they weren’t touching and add a 10 frame dissolve to the tail of one clip and the head of the next and then ripple delete the space as I couldn’t do it when they were touching.

You are probably laughing at the extra work I had to do – but it got the job done.

Best Regards,

Tim –

Thanks!

I now understand something that I didn’t have to worry about in the past as PP CS6 and earlier version could work with not having sufficient frames to use before/after the cut (I didn’t really understand that message, but I got the results that I wanted – more or less). Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

This must mean that PP CC 2014 is more “strict/precise” about not having sufficient frames to work with for the transition. Guess I’ll need to add more time to each clip for the head and tail of each clip. This also helps explain what the little triangle (or the lack of the triangle) in the upper corners of each clip means in the sequence.

Learning something new!

Thanks again!!

Thanks Tim –

OK – just tried the cross dissolve in a nested sequence in PP CS6 – didn’t do anything – my bad (or rather my brain dead).

However, in PP CC 2014 nothing shows in effects control for cross dissolve. Went back to CS6 – can easily make the changes I want in that version. When placing a dissolve using 2 of the clips I’m having trouble with – I get a dissolve at the end of 1 clip – then in effects control drop down I can change it into a centered dissolve. Can’t figure out how to do that in PP CC 2014. It used to be so simple!!

No not yet!

Would really like to learn how though!
