Re: [AP] Fade to black!

Sune, first, if you leave track one blank, it will always be displayed as black when rendered. So instead of having 'black video' on a track, you can just transition in and out of your video clips. This assumes, of course, that you have nothing on tracks in between the track with the

Jeff, I would be willing to bet that the audio and video were shot, edited and recorded live. With the use of a production switcher, you can switch to any camera at anytime during the concert. They most likely got a live 'feed' from the audio mixing board, and then combined it with the

Re: [AP] Transition Problems

I don't know if the solution is simple, but the answer is. The reason that it 'automatically' goes to the clip on the left is simply because there is no head room on the clip on the right. Simply put, there is no frames in the clip on the right that Premiere Pro can use to transition.
