Hi All,
I'm placing transitions on smaller objects in fcp x. The transitioning effect incorporates the entire screen. In other words, if I add an effect to a small square in the upper left area, the effect shows on everything at the same time.
Am I doing something wrong?
TIA - Vijay
I just had this problem and this is how It works.
1. Turn the photo, text, or video that's on the 2nd timeline into it's own story line (Command + G)
2. Add your transitions
3. Highlight the photo/text/video AND the transitions and turn that into a compound clip.
This should make the transition only effect whatever you had on the separate story line and not the video below.
You can achieve this using compound clips.
Take the smaller clips between which you want to make the transition and make them a compound clip (option-G).
Control-click the compound and choose Open in Timeline. Add the transition there. Then this will not affect the clips below in the project timeline.
Hi,
Unfortunately this did not help. It effected the entire main timeline field and partially lost its ( the compund clip ) alpha.
It did, however, remind me of using FCP7's nested timelines :-)
Thanks though :-)
WHich transition? They all act differently. Some work across the whole frame.
I was trying to use Lens Flare. Also spot checked others... I must have spot checked the ones that worked full frame. Is there a list somewhere that identifies these?
Thanks again - V
NO there isn't. Pretty much anything that has animation will be full screen.
Thanks, Tom...
Do you have an example of a transition that does not render full frame?
I remember Avid VideoShop being able to do this a loooong time ago.

fcp x transitions are always full screen
