Cut-to-overlap
conversion
When you have two video events that are inserted back-to-back with
no transition (referred to as a cut), you can convert the cut to a
transition by dragging a transition from the Transitions window and
dropping it between the events. You can also right-click the edge of
either event, choose Transition from the shortcut menu, and choose
a transition from the submenu.
The cut-to-overlap conversion settings will extend one or both of the
events so they overlap, allowing room for the transition.
Type a value in the edit box (or use the spin control) to specify the
amount by which you want the events to overlap after conversion.
(This setting also controls the overlap applied when the
Automatically overlap multi-selected media when added check box
is selected).
From the Alignment drop-down list, choose the method you want to
use to extend events:
n Before cut: The overlapping area will end at the cut/cursor.
n Centered on cut: The cut/cursor will mark the center of the
overlapping area.
n After cut: The overlapping area will start at the cut/cursor.
