Hi,

Ive been using 6.5 for a while at work just to do boring stuff an now i wanna do transitions an it doesnt seem to work. ive followed the instructions meticulously - i can see it there on teh clip an can even change settings but when i watch it through on teh time line its still a jump cut only with a frame of black (with a little cross in the middle) between cuts. where am i going wrong?!?!

Thanks

Kazz

Are the two clips fully buted up against each other so there are no gaps?

yep, ive ripple deleted the gap and layed the transition right over it, then pressed play in th monitor window an it always goes the same - no transition an a horrible black fram an a cross.

It has been a while since I worked with Premiere 6.5, I am on Pro 2.0 now, but as I recall you need to render a lot of effects or transitions before you can preview them.

You can recognize the need to render by a red bar just above the transition area or the area where you applied an effect to.

Hit the enter key when your in the timeline and Premiere will do a render and show you the transition.

As I said before, it is a long time since I worked with 6.5 and I can't very on my computer if I'm wright, but I hope this will solve your problem.

thankyou so much, i knew it'd be something simple I was over looking. it seems strange tho that you should have to enter it before you can watch it. Its also a little annoying how you have to render it everytime u wanna watch that specific transition and to watch the whole timeline a you intend it you have to save it which takes AGES. im really enjoyin the programme but maybe im not naturally disosed to technology!

Thanks again

You don't have to watch the whole timeline through, once it is rendered you can skip to whichever part you want to see.

With P6.5, to avoid having to render every transition or filter effect, you can also press the alt + scrub the time marker – this gives you a much quicker preview of the added effects.
