    I am working in a nested sequence and want to place a simple cross dissolve transition between clips. The trouble is that when I do, a few frames from elsewhere in my project get added to the transition. This is obviously a problem but I don’t know why it is happening or what to do about it. Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

    Start reading about Clip handles and transitions in the Help file.

    Thanks for the response. It is appreciated. I did look at the topic you suggested, but it doesn’t seem to match my problem.

    Here is my situation. I have taken a few clips from a longer video (I had to razor the original footage because the detect scenes function failed to work for some reason) and placed them into their own sequence (maybe this is the problem) to make a shorter “music video”. I planned to nest this sequence into the main sequence when the music video is completed. When I go to add the cross dissolve transition, I get no diagonal warning bars through it and no warning.

    I am completely stumped on this.

    Thanks for the tip. I tried it and that didn’t seem to make any difference.

    Has anyone else had this problem? I am about ready to reinstall the whole program, but I don’t know if that would require me to reactivate or not.

    Das,

    I figured it out. I am kind of an idiot . . .

    My problem was this: when I razored my footage, I cut it exactly at the frame that borders the other clips. This didn’t leave Premiere any room to gently transition between the clips so it used the extra footage to fill in. My solution to this problem was to move the in/out points closer together to allow Premiere enough footage to transition without using extraneous frames.

    This completely fixed my problem.
