ajw Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm trying to shatter from a text screen to a video clip. Why won't it let me shatter for more than .02 seconds? I don't even see it shattering..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 What version of VP? Looks fine here with a four second shatter trans. Are the clips long enough to accommodate the transition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi Some things to check... Is the text clip is on the same track as the video clip and immediately preceding it? Is the X between the clips light blue? (Not grey) Is there any sign of a transition bar between the clips shown as a dark blue band across the upper part of the join? Check the default value for transitions under Tools/Options/Editing. Suggest a value of 4 seconds (2 seconds/clip) Check the default value for text images (and images) under Tools/Options/Media (Suggest value of 8 seconds for a 4 second transition plus overlap) Check the clips are long enough to support the transition duration. If the answer to (3.) is Yes then zoom in and grab the end (either end) of the blue bar. You should see a small square bracket appear. Drag the bracket along the top of the track, This action should lengthen (or shorten) the duration of the transition. Make it larger in order to see the transition properly. An alternative to this is to left click the X and then Transition Properties at the bottom of the transition selection window. This will bring up a window in which you can alter the transition duration. (Use Overlapping transitions if the prompt window appears.)

ajw Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for the response. I'm using v 6.10, and I'd love to set the transition duration for more than .02 seconds, but I dragged the text box out for a full second and tried to set the transition time for .5 seconds- half the overlap time- and I get what you see in the screen shot found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SXXnNP0tTfBaX5VfwuZ-5vGkvTYvCEiG What am I doing wrong?

borate Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If you want a half-second transition make the length 0.500. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes, I'd love to do that, but it keeps telling me to set it between .002 and .022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Never mind, I got it. Had to drag the text box down to the same line as the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes, as in point #1 in Nat's post, above. Transitions apply only to contiguous clips. Glad you solved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
