Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 532)

Important: When you perform an overwrite 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.
You can also perform an overwrite with transition edit with multiple clips. Each clip will
use the default transition into the next one until all the clips you selected are laid out in
a row.
