Converting a cut to a transition
When you have two video events that are inserted back-to-back with no transition (referred to as a cut), you
can convert the cut to a transition by dragging a transition from the Transitions window and dropping it
between the events.
You can also right-click between the two events, choose Transition from the shortcut menu, and choose a
crossfade or transition type from the submenu.
One or both of the events will be extended so they overlap, allowing room for the transition. Use the
Alignment drop-down list — under the Cut-to-overlap conversion heading on the Editing tab of the
Preferences dialog — to determine where the transition is placed. For more information, see "Preferences -
Editing Tab" on page 601.
There must be sufficient media on each side of the cut to accommodate the overlap time specified on
the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog.
