Cross dissolve transitions
I’m admitally a complete newbie to final cut pro. Having switched from premiere i’m unbelivably confused about transitions, i want a nice smooth long cross dissolve i’ve dragged the effect into the center of 2 clips and go to change the length of the transition and it wont let me go any longer than 00:00:00:11 surely this isnt the longest transition you can do? please help!!

The difference with FCP and Premiere transitions is what’s got you confused.
FCP uses handles to build the transitions. You’ve got a limited handle supply on one of your clips (ghost frames that are on original material before or after the edit). Best way to fix that is to change the inpoint or outpoint of the outgoing clip to give you more of a handle. If you just don’t have the room on one clip or the other you can tell the transition to either begin on edit or end on edit. Two ways to do that… one is to dbl click on the transition in the timeline to open up in the viewer… you’ll see three buttons on the top that look like triangles on their sides… left one is END on edit and the right one is BEGIN on edit.
Good luck,
