Can we please have the option to disable these grey squares on each end of the clip on our timeline (the transition handles). They are incredibly irritating. I used to be able to click and drag clips with no problem. Now it’s so frustrating to move clips without accidentally engaging with the transition handles to create transitions between clips (which I don’t want to do).

We need the option to disable these, please and thank you.

And also trying to extend an audio transition doesn’t work. It often makes me trim the clip before of after.

Upvoted. In audio, handles make more sense - you’re constantly fading SFX up and down, so I’d want the option to keep that enabled. But in video, I rarely need to add transitions. It tends to get in the way of ripple trims, rolling edits, and selecting clips, which I’m doing constantly. Even on FX-heavy promos, I’m not repeatedly dropping in the same transition. I don’t mind it being available, but I think most editors would be better served with it turned off.
