I have been using AVS Video Editor since about December of 13, and am very much a beginner. I read this entire thread a month and a half ago and found it all interesting.
My AVS creations have been quite simple, using the Editor for mostly one purpose: finalizing inspirational "Mind Movies" I created with online software at mindmovies.com. The movies I make use one to three of those Mind Movies, as wmv objects, and I know nothing about the "transition" clicks or pops mentioned throughout this thread. I have been trying to fix the pops at the end of my fade outs for a few months now and seem to have come up with a workaround that gets rid of those pops in the final production. Here is the procedure:
- I fade out my movie by right clicking the timeline video and selecting Fade Out. I grab hold of the inside dot of the fade out and move it where it gives me my desired fade out time.
- I left click the top of the timeline and stretch it out quite a ways, but stop before those little squares appear in the waveform. I guess moving the sliding zoom bar to the end would do about the same thing.
- I go to the end of my video object on the timeline, or the end of the last one if there is more than one, and move the cursor to the end of that object.
- I move the cursor toward the left until the split button becomes activated. After finding a good place to do a split, sometimes using the next- and previous-frame buttons, I do the split, and delete the end section of the video.
- Without changing the zoom, I immediately click the Produce button and make my final movie. I have produced all of the movies done in this way in wmv format.
- The above procedure produced a final production free of any annoying fade out sound.
I have done the procedure a number of times, all on the same movie, by resetting the envelope and going through the above steps another time (each time obviously making the movie a fraction of a second shorter and probably moving the fadeout line up a tiny bit). After I think the third production, not including the first, I began to get a small bit of the annoying sound again.
Again, the procedure only got rid of the sound on the final production. Previewing the project at the main window still created the unwanted sound, though sometimes intermittently. It seems to be critical that the Produce button be clicked while the project is still zoomed way out.
I haven't looked at the forums much. Maybe this idea has been done and posted already.
