Important: When you perform an insert with transition edit, make sure that there is
enough media at the beginning of the new clip and at the end of the previously edited
clip to create the transition. Each source clip must have enough unused frames outside
the defined edit points to equal half the duration of the default transition.
Tip: You can also perform an insert with transition edit with multiple clips. If there are
no other clips in your sequence at the In point, the first clip will make a default transition
from black. Each successive clip will then use the default transition into the next one until
all the clips you selected are laid out in a row.
