adding video/ audio transition at end of clip

[Tom Wolsky]

Works for me. Select the edit point (V) press Cmd-T. What happens when you do that?

All the best,

Hi Tom,

Thx for your reply, I found out that I have to select the edit. This only occurs when I have to put a dissolve at the end of a clip(mostly an audio dissolve at the end of the program).If I have to put a dissolve (video or audio) at the beginning or between two clips, i just can go there (prev edit)select nothing and press cmd+t or opt+cmd+t and it will also put a dissolve in.

Hope you can follow me 🙂

The problem with the end of the clip on an upper track or at the end of the sequence is that you’re sitting on the frame after the edit point, at the end of the sequence, the so-called magic frame indicated by the mauve band on the right edge of the frame. When you’re between edits the transition executes because it effects the frame you’re on. When you’re at the beginning of the sequence you’re putting the transition on the frame you see. When you’re at the end of the sequence you’re actually on nothing, despite what you see in the canvas, which is the only time the application shows the frame before the playhead.

All the best,

Tom
