Split transitions… I dont care!!
Every time I try to delete sections of my sequence, or overwrite or whatever, and there is a transition somewhere in there, it wont let me do it.
It says the procedure will split one or more transitions. Well what if I dont care about the transitions? Why cant that decision be left to me? At the moment I am having to go in and manually delete all the transitions before retrying what I wanted to do. But is there some way of disabling this annoying thing?

It only gives that notification if your in point or out point splits a transition. There’s no need to delete all transitoins to perform your edit.
If you’re deleting, then you are probably trying to execute a ripple delete, and your mark in or mark out splits a transiton. The computer has no way of replicating 3/4 of a transition, or deciding which transition needs to be deleted or adjusted or what.
Normally, you wouldn’t make the decision to split a transition on a ripple delete, insert edit or overwrite edit. So during normal editing procedure if that box comes up, it’s generally a helpful heads up. Not an annoyance.
If you’re trying to overwrite a large number of transitions, or delete a large number of transitons, you will not get this error. Only if one of your points intersects the transition.

everything you say is right, of course,
but i’m finding this to be rather frustrating at times.
i think the warning should have the option to proceed, and lose the affected transitions,
or cancel, so you can remove them manually, or change your in/outs.a third and more advanced option could be for fcp to modify the in outs for you, leaving your transitions intact?
cheers,
