Question

Apply transition without change clips duration

I come from another video editing program. Is it possible to insert a transition between two clips without changing their duration? For example: clip1 is 10 seconds, clip2 is 15 seconds. Between the two clips, I want to add a 5-second transition, and the total duration of the two clips with the transition should be 20 seconds. I can currently achieve this by placing one clip on track V1 and another on track V2, overlaying them by 5 seconds, and applying the transition. I would like to achieve the same result on a single track.

 

Thanks

Just cut 2 1/2  seconds off each clip at the transition point and then place them on the same track and add the transition.

Thank you Bob for your replay, I apreciate.

Ok, I can add some time for each clip but I can't realize why there is not an option. Imagine, I cut a clip before a bike jump (end point) then I cut the second clip (other angle) at the jump already started. I put a dissolve and... I see 2.5 sec of first clip...

So I shold know before the dissolve/transition duration and then adjust the clips in order to have correct transition!?!

The only solution is to work with multiple track...

If you dont want to see the 2,5 sec of the first clip you need to trim back the first clip 2,5 seconds befor adding the transition
