I cannot add a transition to a video after nesting and applying a stabilizer

[Calistatus187]

When I first started working on my video (bear with me, I'm VERY new to this and by this I mean video editing and premiere pro) I added all my transitions between each clip. All the transitions worked perfectly fine, no error messages. Then. I HAD to nest the clips to be able to use the warp stabilizer. Now. I cannot add transitions without the "Insufficient media. This transition will contain repeated frames." message popping up. If I move the clip to extend the clip it removes my stabilization. If I leave it nested, it then renders the clip and makes the clip after the transition skip. I've tried everything I can think of. I've watch TONS of tutorials and none of them work or help. What do I do?

And just to note, I'm trying to use the dip to black transition.

Try to do it the opposite way, so, without adding any transitions, 

apply warp stabilizer to your desired video, nest it, then apply cuts 

and transitions to the nested one. If working with multiple clips,

you have to apply warp stabilizer individually to each clip,

then nest each clip separately.

For a dip to black transition in complicated sequences I often just add a clip of black on a higher track with a fade in and out.

Hello @Calistatus187,

Thanks for the question. I hope our experts have helped you solve your issue. I see this issue too, and it is expected to happen after nesting clips. The nest is also a "clip" in the timeline and needs to be trimmed on both sides in order to accept a transition. If trimming afterward upsets your intended cut point, you need to make adjustments to the clip inside the nest first. I believe that is what Carlos is suggesting and why Richard works around a simple dip to black transition by fading in and out of a piece of black on an upper track. I must say, I do like the idea of that as it is less fiddly.

Since this is expected behavior (albeit annoying), and not a bug, I'll move this post to the Discussions forum. I hope that is OK.

Thanks,
Kevin
