Cannot apply crossfades between clips.

Community Beginner ,

I have had this problem frequently over the past few months. Trying to drag and drop a crossfade between 2 clips and it will only apply it's self to one clip. I have tried clicking on the clips, selecting both, making sure there is no space between the clips. I end up usually having to do a work around that's not the same by putting them on different tracks and fading them over top of each other. I also have these same problems blending audio clips. I believe I have "tried everything" and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

On a recent pair of clips, I applied the crossfade and it went over the 2 clips but on the former clip the transition was longer than the latter clip and I could not make it longer. At all. It was fixed at the size it was and could not be stretched.

I don't know what to do.

That's not a bug, it's expected behavior. 

 

Cross dissolves require handles ... unused frames from trimming the end of the clip. If you don't have any trimmed frames, it can't be applied.

I'm dealing with same issue out of the blue. Is 36 minutes of handles enough?🤦🏻‍:male_sign:

That would, of course, take a clip at least 37 minutes long ... 😉

 

Crossfades are at times touchy as to being specifically applied to the cut.
