Fade Out, To White, and Fade In, To White filter

Post by Amalthia »

There is a Fade Out, To White, and Fade In, To White filter in Windows Movie Maker and I'm trying to re-create that effect in Ulead Video Studio 9. I already have the Burger's Transition package as well as the FXbench filters.

I'm still rather new using filters and transitions and it's just about killing me that I can't figure it out on Ulead when it's one of the very few filters available on WMM. You'd think it would be on Ulead as well.

Another transition effect I really liked but can't find on Ulead is the Bars transition.

I would greatly appreciate any and all help in this matter,

thank you

First off, don't confuse filters and transitions, as they do different things.

What you are after if indeed there in Video Studio 9 (and 8 and 7 etc before it), only it won't be in Filters if that is where you are looking. And even as a transition, it is not there as such. What you are after is a combination of a still panel of white then the cross-fade effect (in Transitions > F/X or else in the Burger transitions).

To get the white panel, click on the drop down box up in the top right of the VS screen where you can normally see 'Video', but where you also go to pick filters, transitions. You will see another heading 'Color'. Click on that and choose the white panel at the bottom. Drag it to the time line. I am assuming that you want the fade-in from white at the start of your video. So drag the white panel to the front of your video, set it to last for however long you want (either drag the right hand end of the panel itself to the right, or else set the little clock up in the top left of screen). Then insert the cross-fade transition between the panel and the first video, and vary its speed too for however long you want the fade to last.

For the fade-out to white, place the color panel at the end of your timeline, then insert the cross fade between the last video and the panel.

I'll work on that in the future. :)

thank you so much for your help, I completely forgot about the color squares.

What I ended up doing to get the transition effect is sandwich the white square between two crossfades. So now it looks almost like the effect from WMM (I'm going to have to experiment on the timing) but this is a great improvement from where I was a couple of hours ago.

Again thank you. :)
