Now drag the cursor line along to the end of the clip.ĭrag the Opacity slider left to 0%. The orange square will turn green showing it has registered.Ĭlick the Green cross again to set a second keyframe.(Keyframe 2) It should be at the point where your images start but as you can't see these you will have to guess.you can alter it later. Now slide the red cursor line along the box to a point very close to the end of the clip. With the red cursor line for the clip preview positioned to the extreme left, drag the Opacity slider to 100%.Ĭlick the Green cross to fix the value (keyframe 1) A small orange square will appear on the horizontal blue line in the box Now.Right click the video clip on the upper track and select "Current Effects Properties" from the list hat comes up.Ĭlick "Add Effect" in the next window and select "Opacity" from the list. Note that the length of your fade-in will be the the duration represented by the overlap at 10 images/second (or whatever you have set)Īt this moment the video clip will play over the gif images. If they don't then use Control+Shift to select them all. (So the clip is overlapping.) All the other images should follow as a block. Now grab the first gif image and drag it to the left underneath the video clip. if you have your images on the sequence line following your video clip, simply grab the clip and drag it up to the overlay track. The way around this is to place the LAST video clip onto the upper video track i.e. (Grouping a number of images together using Control+shift only places the effect on the last image.) T,he difficulty here again, is that each of your gif images is of very short duration and whilst you can set different opacity levels for each image it would not be particularly easy to do and the final effect would not look good. Now, although the Opacity method works OK with video clips, it won't actually work correctly in this particular case as, once again the effect will only work over the duration of a single image. VP will therefore have to shorten any crossfade effect to less than 1/10 of a second which will not be of any use. the last video and the first gif image and the effect can't be longer than the shortest clip/image. The reason for this is that the first gif image, being part of the animation, will only be short and VP won't crossfade over more than two clips/images i.e. If you then switch into Storyboard mode you can alter the duration of each image - this is printed below each frame - to give the correct animation speed when you play the sequence.īy fade-in you probably mean a crossfade (a dissolve effect.) However, a simple crossfade will be difficult to implement as it stands with the images following the last video clip. So, if you have your gif files (extracted as Borate mentions,) simply add them one after another (in order) to the end of the timeline.
