Why can’t I select the transition when adjusting its duration anymore?

Hi @BeratGL , thanks for sharing the footage and raising this!

I confirmed with my team that in 25.4, transitions can still be selected with the Trim tool when you click directly on the border of the transition. If you’re seeing different behavior, a quick screen recording would help us dig in further.

The change you’re noticing was intentional. In the past, adjusting a transition would auto-select it, which often interrupted work on adjacent clips. For example, if you’re adjusting a transition right next to an audio clip with effects applied (say, dialing in a Convolution Reverb), the auto-selection would constantly take the focus away from your audio, forcing you to reselect the clip over and over. By keeping the current selection intact, you can now refine transitions and audio effects side by side without losing scope.

That said, I understand this adds an extra click if you were used to the old behavior. The control isn’t lost, it just requires selecting the transition explicitly first. This trade-off allows for smoother workflows overall, especially for those balancing video and audio adjustments at the same time.

If you’re still experiencing trouble selecting transitions on the border, please do share a video so we can check further. We’re still looking into this, and I’ll keep track of it going forward.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback. Don't hestitate to reach out.

You can't selecting while grabbing/clicking the edge anymore (the icon at top of transition) which makes it harder to select audio transitions overall, i can select it by clicking end of the fade but why make our lives harder?

Guess I am missing something here.

@BeratGL Thanks for sharing the video! I'm reviewing it with our team now. Appreciate it again!

Yes 25.4

Are you on the latest version? I tried grabbing the edge but it still doesn't select it.

Click and grab the end of the fade.

Dont think behavior has changed.
