Shorten both transition ends at once?
Is there a way to shorten both ends of a transition (like cross dissolve, or dip to black) symmetrically and at the same time? It seems inefficient to drag each end in separately. Thanks!

Click on the transition, which opens up the Effects Controls for the transition, then simply click and drag on the timer in the Effect Controls (or manually enter a different value, but mouse is quicker).

That doesn’t seem more efficient than just clicking on each end of the transition right on the timeline. Is it better in other ways?

If you wish to manually drag the ends of the transition to lengthen or shorten, first you likely need to zoom in closer to get any decent control, so that takes time. Next, you have to click and drag BOTH ends of the transition one at a time, and watch the little counter to take equal frames of each end (that was the original question, keeping it symmetrical).
To me, it it way easier and faster to make a single click on the transition (without needing to zoom in first)to select it, then right above it, in the Effects Controls, click and drag the timer greater or less, done. Two quick clicks.
Maybe there’s another way or a keyboard shortcut, I certainly don’t know everything, but seems pretty fast and easy to me.

That was pretty convincing, thanks.
It’s likely that Adobe just doesn’t have the ability to do it on the timeline.
