If you are adding transitions between clips created based on scenes by the Auto Analyzer, your transitions are using essentially the same material between scenes to create the transition, so they'll be pretty much invisible.

In other words, the when you add a transition between two clips, the transition has to use some extra frame beyond the end or beginning of each clip to create the transition. Since your "scenes" are just trimmed back versions of your longer clip, those extra frames are really part of the next or previous clip -- so you can't see the transition.

Bill Hunt has an excellent explanation of how transitions work in our Tips & Tricks forum.

As Steve poihts out, if all that was done, was a Cut, then with a Transition added, there is nothing to Transition from, or to - it's the same, as if the Cut had not been bade.

If, however, you move those new Clips (formed by the Cuts) around, then you CAN add a Transition, that will show up,

When you do the Cutting (you are doing this on "automatic," so the planning needs to come in with the second step), you need to allow for Handles, i.e. extra Frames, before an In Point, and after an Out Point, to allow for the Transition. This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/701768?tstart=60.

Once you have moved those new Clips around, changing their order, you will want to adjust each Clip's In and Out Point, to provide those necessary handles.

Good luck,

Those are examples, showing how things looked with A-B Roll editing. They are for visual demonstration purposes only. One DOES the work on a single Video Track with current NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs, like PrE. As the visual display of the Clip is from In Point to Out Point, the Handles are not seen, BUT they are used with Transitions. That they are invisible on the Timeline, is what throws many. Back in the days of film, or even Video with A-B Roll editing, they were seen, and hence obvious. Not so nowadays. Sorry that those examples were confusing. Maybe I need to add a caption, or two. Thanks for pointing that out.

I you look down to my Reply # 1, you will see the Clips on the same Video Track, Video 1 here.

Good luck,

I agree with Ed, in that your solution might well help another user (and maybe some of the "regulars" too), should they encounter issues with Transitions. Please do update the thread, with your solution.

Good luck,
