To adjust the transition duration:
Select the transition in the Timeline, and do one of the
following:
 Position the pointer over the end of the transition
until the Trim-In icon (Figure 19) or the Trim-
Out icon appears; then drag.
 Select the transition to display it in the Properties
view. (If the mini-timeline in the Properties view is
hidden, click Show Timeline.) In the Properties
mini-timeline, position the pointer over the
transition until the Trim-In icon or the Trim-Out
icon appears; then drag.
 In the Transitions view, click the Edit Transition
button. In the Properties view, drag the Duration
value, or select it and type a new value.
Note: Lengthening a transition’s duration means one or
both clips must have enough trimmed frames to
accommodate a longer transition.
