Transition
The following explains the transition and audio cross face between clips.
Margin of Clip
The margin of the clip is the video outside the range between In and Out points. Black triangular mark at both ends of the clip means the top (end) of each clip.
When both clips have no margin
When there is a margin at the end of front clip and at the beginning of back clip
In the extend mode, to add transition/audio cross fade between two clips, both clips need margins. If there is no margin, switch to the fix mode or create margins by trimming or other operations.
