Okay guys, I need the Big Brains!
I'm running ancient Premiere 6.0 -- not Pro.
I'm trying to finish up my feature, Tangled Web. But I've run into a problem I just can't seem to solve.
I have a montage. Naturally, I use a cross dissolve to connect the clips of this montage. ALL of the clips have effects applied to them, but they're virutally all the SAME effects -- saturation, gamma correction, and camera view.
Most of the transitions work fine. But there was one that was giving me a problem. And the more I try to fix it, the more the problem seems to be replicating to other transitions.
The problem is, when I apply the transition to go from Clip A to Clip B, for some reason the very LAST frame of Clip A loses all of the effects -- so during the transition there's an annoying flash of more saturation, less gamma, and less zoom, but only for the span of a single frame. (Sometimes instead of this occuring on the LAST frame of Clip A, it occurs on the FIRST frame of Clip B, as you'll see in the example below.)
When I look, the handles for these effects are inset from the end of the clip. I can't move them while the transition is in place -- when I try, it selects the transition rather than the effect handle. If I remove the transition, the problem goes away and the effect handle is nestled right at the end of the clip. Put the transition back, and it's inset one frame again.
I know this is confusing. So here's what it looks like...

I have had this problem before on occasion, though normally the transitions work fine. I tried removing all the effects, applying the transitions, then adding the effects. That didn't work. I deleted both clips from the timeline and re-added them. That didn't help either. And now it seems like when I remove some other transition in the montage, then re-add it -- IT gives me this same problem.
Anybody have any ideas????
Thanks for any help you can give!
