So long ago I figured out how to make conduit read the slider 1 value so that I could make my transition ramp-up and then down. Specifically, I am asked to make the image flash white during the transition. I can’t find my thread over in the dvgarage help forums and am wondering in you could flesh out here how to use the Curve node or whatever node is best to make the Slider values increase and then decrease over time.

Thanks!

FCP doesn’t support keyframes in transition effects. The bias value (what you get in Slider 1 within Conduit) changes linearly from zero to one; no way to override that on FCP’s side.

However you can use Conduit nodes to process the Slider 1 value further. This is pretty practical for many things — e.g. if you want a transition that starts slow and speeds up (”ease in” effect), you could just add a Curve node after Slider 1. Modifying the curve will then modify the speed at which the transition changes.

I do not see a way to set keyframes in a transition with COnduit like I am able to when I use Conduit as a filter.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

the transition’s bias value is given in Slider 1, so you can use it to drive any parameter you like.

Here’s a pic of what a basic cross dissolve looks like:

Did I really forgot to completely mention that slider thing in my original post…? Looks like I did! Sheesh. Sorry about that. I’ll have to write a better entry about transitions soon :)

Thanks!
