Cross dissolve not working

I have a Cross Dissolve at the end of a clip and one at the end of the previous clip but only one is working.

I tried several transitions at this location and none of them seem to be working.  I have transitions between other clips in this sequence and they are working, so what's going here?

One of the first things to check with cross-dissolve issues is do you have the necessary 'handles' on the clip ends at that editing point?

A 'handle' is extra frames either past or before the edit point ... for the clip in front, that would be extra frames past the cut; for the clip behind the cut, extra frames in front of the cut.

If you don't have handles, there's nothing to dissolve ...

Oh, that makes sense!  What I did was cut the clip and add a transition.

Thanks!

The cross dissolve is working alright but you are not seeing anything as its using the same frames (handles) as the clip.

There is no point in adding a transition on a straight cut and doing nothing with that cut.

Turn on Show Through Edits under the wrench in the timeline.

Ann's comment about turning on Show Through Edits ... is a real brain-saver on working with transitions. Highly recommended!
