After the edit, all clips on all unlocked tracks (including nondestination tracks) are
moved forward in time, from the playhead position to the right, to make room for the
clip or clips being inserted.
Performing an Insert With Transition Edit
The insert with transition edit is a quick way to do an insert edit that includes the
default transition between your new source clip and the clip before it in your edited
sequence. When you first install Final Cut Pro, the default transition is a 1-second cross
dissolve. For more information on how to choose a new default transition, see
“
Changing the Default Transition
An insert with transition edit is exactly the same as an ordinary insert edit, but it places
the default transition into your sequence, centered on the edit point.
Important:
When you perform an insert with transition edit, make sure that there is
enough media at the beginning of the new clip and at the end of the previously edited
clip to create the transition. Each source clip must have enough unused frames outside
the defined edit points to equal half the duration of the default transition.
