Applying Difficult Transitions in Final Cut Pro 5

This is C.J. South representing expertvillage.com. In this clip, I will just kind of finish up showing you how you can apply transitions. So if you have a transition here but let's say for example that you don't have any extra room like this. This is the butt end of the tape. Okay, there's no extra area for it to fade to. Your fade won't work. If you use a beginning of a clip and there is no media behind it, it just won't work. You can't put a fade in there because it has is nothing to fade out. So now there are three different alignments for these transitions here. You notice when I dropped it in, it took different shapes around the edit point. There's the middle one which is just a standard which is what we already dropped in there; that's the middle alignment. You also have the front alignment and then the end alignment. I'm sorry, this one is in and this one is the beginning. What the end is, is basically your fading out to the end of the clip. This one is you are fading in from the beginning of this clip. So you can place it accordingly. Normally when two clips are back to back here, you will be using the middle one and you will just drop it in like that at the fade between them. If they are not connected, then a lot of times you will be doing fade ins from black. So if I placed that there, now it is a fade in from black.
