Move a transition
Moving a transition actually rolls the edit under the transition, adding content to one
underlying clip while removing content from the other clip. The overall duration of the
project is not affected. You can move a transition only if the clip that is being extended has
sufficient media handles.
1. Select a transition in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Drag the transition trim icon in the upper-center area of the transition.
The edit under the transition is rolled, with one clip being extended and the other
shortened. A number appears above the trim icon showing the number of frames to the left
(negative numbers) or to the right (positive numbers) you have rolled the transition.
You can also use the precision editor to roll the transition.
