Removing transitions changes sequence length…
Hi,
I have a sequence with some transitions and I want to work on some of the clips in the sequence – do some re-timing work and re-scaling.
When I remove the transition the sequence and the clip become shorter so when i copy the clip to work on it in another sequence I end up with a shorter clip.
Is there a simple of way of copying the entire clip with the parts that are being used by the transition?

How are you removing the transitions?

Clicking on them and hitting backspace key (arrow to the right and vertical line)

I normally use the Backspace Key to delete clips and close the space left by deleting the clip. If you have 2 clips on V1 and hit backspace on the first clip you should see the second one move to cover its place. Backspace works like a delete and cover. You might be deleting a transition and the media it connects to somewhere in your sequence without realizing it. This might explain the shorter sequence. I would select transitions and hit the delete key instead of the Backspace key. This way if you are deleting the media joining a transition you will notice a hole where the clip should be. Make sure you have a copy of your sequence prior to doing this so you can easily replace any media that might have gotten deleted.
hope that helps,
Victor
