Can you explain a bit more what controls you would like for this?

[Brian Mulligan] “You can repeat some of the frames to fill in the gaps between bad frames… might be a cool look.”
Or cut in a frame of white over the top of the offending frames.
Boy, have you got to love that cool CMOS technology 😉

[Jeremy Garchow] ” I do miss the audio only cross fade, but splitting the a/v and doing two fades is pretty damn easy.”
Check out Alex Gollner’s audio only transition:

It works.

I think what it requires is for someone to make a video only cross dissolve template – not sure if this is possible as I’m not near FCPX/Motion 5 right now, but Brendan will probably have finished one in the time it takes for you to read this.
Then you could use separate Effects for audio and video and not have to detach the audio. Arguably there’s a way of making separate controls for audio and video within the same template but I think not …

Holy macaroni! Do you never sleep or eat?!
Another stonker – and it seems like your third of the day already!

The great Alex Gollner has already written an audio only cross dissolve Effect – search for this on this forum.

[Walter Soyka] “A manual transmission exposes the mechanics to the driver — it gives the driver direct control over the relationships between the engine, the gearing, and the car’s movement. It makes the car harder to drive on a basic level, but easier to drive for performance.”
Yes, that’s what I always thought – until I recently directed some commercials for a Japanese car manufacturer and was told by the client that the automatic version of their top performance car was appreciably faster than the manual even when driven by top professional drivers. Technology has moved ahead of us on this one, apparently.
I’m not sure what the moral is – except you’re probably right that the car analogy isn’t as helpful as it might be 😉

[Marvin Holdman] “new editors will have to start off learning descriptions of the processes that are COMPLETELY different than current industry standards.”
Is this really as big a problem as people are making out, I wonder? Many different applications use different names for the same thing but it doesn’t represent a major obstacle to learning them. Are you really not going to be able to move on from FCPX because you once learned that a sequence was a “project”? I somehow doubt it in most cases.
Not to say that Apple haven’t been particularly daft with their new nomenclature!

Yeah, nobody else seems to have seen any mileage in this one but for me it’s the organic effects that I use most of all if I used effects at all. I think this one has lots of possible uses – I like it not just as a frame but also by animating the parameters as a way of fading a shot on and off. But hey, I think I’m very much an MTV generation kind of graphics person who likes it all a bit dirty and knocked about 😉
