I have a quick question.In a post you mentioned:
“The best cut is a straight cut. Cross fades denote time lapse, usually. Cross fades are sloppy editing and serve no purpose.”

I am editing my home videos, and I was about to use cross fades all over the place to denote time lapse and smoothly transition. ie. transition from one conversation to a later conversation at the dinner table. What do you recommend for a transition in this scenario?

Thanks,

Thanks! I’ll check out particle illusion.

Won’t that just add the effect at the end of each events effects chain? What if you need the effect before the effects chain?

Alright, how can someone insert a video event fx plugin before the rest of the effects for multiple video events?

In the project media window, you can right click on an imported media and select “Media Fx…” this allows you to add effects to the media itself which propagates to all of its instances on your various tracks.

I tried it again with a 720p clip and have the same problem. The full image resolution is greyed out. Could it be because I am running windows 7?

yikes! really, scripting can’t handle this?

Darn, this is exactly what I want to do. Isn’t there a script or plugin that could do such a thing?
