Hello,
ISSUE
Transitions applied to a cut point do not work, where both A (left of cut) and B (right of cut) are from the same source clip (in the media pool) WHERE no Other edits are made.
SCENARIO 1 :: STEPS :: Transition does not work.
1. Put Clip "001" on the timeline. The clip is 1 minute in length (for this example, but the length does not really matter)
2. Go to 30 seconds into the clip and click CTRL+B (Windows) to slice/split the clip into two.
3. Left of the cutpoint is Clip A and Right of the cutpoint is Clip B.
4. Place a Transition over the cutpoint (Cross Dissolve for example) Set to 1 second.
5. Move the play head to before the transition and hit play.
6. Notice the Transition is not applied. Does not work.
SCENARIO 2 :: STEPS :: Transition works as expected.
1. Put Clip "001" on the timeline (1 minute long)
1.a. Put Clip "002" in the timeline so it's startpoint is bumped against the end point of "Clip 001".
2. Go to the 1 minute point where the two clips bump up against each other and place a transition there.
5. Move the play head to before the transition and hit play.
6. Notice the Transition works just fine.
SCENARIO 3 :: STEPS :: Transition works as expected.
1. Put Clip "001" on the timeline. The clip is 1 minute in length (for this example)
2. Go to 30 seconds into the clip and click CTRL+B (Windows) to slice/split the clip into two.
2.a. Go to 45 seconds into the clip and click CTRL+B to split the clip.
2.b. Now the whole clips is split into 3 pieces.
2.c. Delete the Middle clip and make sure that the clip which was at 45 seconds on Step 2.a. is now at 30 seconds and bumped up against the first clip.
4. Place a Transition over the cutpoint (Cross Dissolve for example) Set to 1 second.
5. Move the play head to before the transition and hit play.
6. Notice the Transition works as expected.
SUMMARY
Scenario 1 should work the exact same way as Scenario 3. Once I have split a 'Master Clip' into two sections, each of those sections should behave the exact same as in Scenario 2. It should not matter that they are from the same clip originally.
In fact you can force Scenario 1 to work with a slight modification: CTRL+SHIFT and Drag Clip B over Clip A, then add the transition. But this method is painfully slow and makes for inaccuracies in the timing of the edit etc. The reason I mention this, is because you can have both A/B which were previously connected, show a transition but only throught this method.
