The Alpha Plugin may be disabled or left enabled. - \item Close the EDL. -\end{itemize} This solves the alpha channel not working as expected and the Master Project now looks correct. - -\paragraph{Workaround for using a transition, like Dissolve, between 2 edits with the plugin Motion51.} -In this case, the Motion51 plugin and the Dissolve transition are not seen during the transition phase -and is stopped at the cut point between 2 edits. -The left edit's plugin should be in effect until the end of that clip and should include the -dissolve. Instead, there is a jump inside the dissolve, as if the plugin does not exist. There are -2 possible workarounds. For example, extend the Motion51 plugin to cover both clips rather than -having a separate plugin for each clip. Or another workaround is to use two tracks and have the -plugin cover the cut point and use a Fade auto instead of the Dissolve transition. - -\paragraph{Workaround for access to modifiable text files when using AppImage.} This includes -such files as FFmpeg video or audio files, fonts that you want to add for usage in the Title -plugin, icons that you wish to modify, and any other text file for customization. -To get access, first extract the files from the AppImage, find the files to add, edit, or modify, and then run the extracted binary following the steps shown here. -\begin{itemize} - \item /path-to-appimage/CinGG-20220131-x86\_64.AppImage -{}-appimage-extract - \item edit or add the files you want to modify in the \textit{bin} or \textit{lib} subdirecctory - \item /path-to-appimage/squashfs-root/usr/bin/cin -\end{itemize} -For more detailed information on working with AppImages, see \ref{sub:managing_appimage}. - -\paragraph{The Fade auto in certain circumstances produces an unwanted black flash.} -When you insert an effect on an empty track the fade fades as if it were on a black background; -it interprets the alpha as black where there is transparency, which is what produces the fade. -So the problem in the case of text is that the letters appear as a black flash briefly in the first -few frames, then goes back to transparent, then the fade starts normally with the white color. -To avoid the unwanted effect produced by the fade over black (because there is no content) leave -the fade in/out of the effect at 0 and use the fade line to perform the intended results to -avoid the problem with the alpha channel. The same problem occurs when using transparent PNG -images with fade video transitions and can be resolved in the same manner. -However this workaround can be quite tedious and complicated if you want to fade many snippets of text -and transparent PNGs on the same track, with always the same video transition filter set to the same -duration. - -Just a side note here. Fade in/out in the Title plugin works fine if there is a clip/image above -the plugin in the same track without an alpha channel but not if there is no clip/image. -And the Transition effect works fine when there is a transition between two clips/images without -an alpha channel.
