Adjust transition alignment
You can change the alignment of a transition placed between two clips in either a 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.
Align a transition in a Timeline panel
1
In a Timeline panel, zoom in so that you can clearly see the transition.
2
Drag the transition over the cut to reposition it.
