    Anybody know why an Extend Edit in the Timeline on an overlay reduces any transition on that edit to 1 frame?

    For example, I have a lower third CG with 20F Cross Dissolve on the out. I select the Out Edit point, move the play head to a new location, hit ‘e’ for extend edit and the edit point moves OK but the dissolve becomes 1 frame.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    The frame where the edit ends after your Extend Edit is only long enough to make a 1 frame dissolve. Don’t extend so far and your dissolve can stay at 20f.

    Thanks but that is not it. It happens if you go long or short and these are (for the most part) stills anyway. It seems to be a bug to me.

    Just to confirm, could someone try this and post their results.

    If this feature worked well for overlays it would say us LOTS of tedious mouse dragging.

    Thanks,
