As you can see from the image, I am unable to apply that dissovle transition across segments for some reason. I suspect it has something to do with that tiny little white arrow in the top left corner of the 2nd clip but I dont know what it means. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi Grant, Your clip Seg_12.mp4 has no more media on the left side of the cut. The little triangles indicate the end of a clip.
Transitions in between two clips need to have additional media beyond the cut.

Why do video transitions need additional media?

It may seem like everything was fine just before you applied a video transition. Why do video transitions need additional media? Take a look at this sequence with two clips sitting next to each other:

 

If you apply a video transition in between these clips, you can see Clip B is introduced earlier than the actual cut. Clip A continues to be visible until the end of the transition. Depending on the length of the video transition, you need media before and beyond the cut.

Solution: Trim away some of the video before adding the cross dissolve transition.
