Transition issues show black background and dont seemlessly connect to the next scene
Hey guys, I am a new user to Final Cut Pro X and have been learning how to use it mainly from Youtube. I am officially stuck, and I can't seem to find any resources to help me with a transitions issue. When I load a transition on between 2 scenes, they do not interact smoothly/seamlessly. It has a black background in between the interaction which looks very ugly and doesn't blur the 2 scenes together flawlessly. The only way I can describe it is it looks more like a powerpoint slide show where it has a black default background as the pages move (if that makes sense). This is the case for ANY transition I use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brad
