Adjusting transition alignment
You can change the alignment of a transition placed between two clips in either the Timeline panel or the Effect
Controls panel. A transition need not be centered or strictly aligned to the cut. You can drag the transition to
reposition it over the cut as desired.
Note: You can’t change a double-sided transition into a single-sided transition. If you realign a double-sided transition
to the start or end of a clip, it will use handles from the adjacent clip.
To align a transition in the Timeline panel
1
In the Timeline panel, zoom in so that you can clearly see the transition.
2 Drag the transition over the cut to reposition it.
