Let me know if all this is possible, thanks again, jon

it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these edits, but I’m pretty sure the play head sync needs to be set to gang.

[Jon Robinson]

thanks 4 all your help guys…did finally figure it out{you have to double click between clips to activate the transitions. I’m sure I’ll be back with more dumb questions, thanks again, jon

[Jon Robinson]

what I used to do in Premier was capture a 7-9 minute clip and use a blade tool to cut it up in the time line,then just add transitions…i’m trying to do the same thing in FCP and can’t drag a transition between two cut clips in the time line, jon

[Jon Robinson]

I can’t drag it to the timeline,jon
