Disolve or wipe fails

Issue: Cannot add dissolve or wipe

Transition effect gets error message
There is not enough spare video / audio at the ends of the clip to create a transition such as a disolve


Warning that there is not enough video or audio for transition

Solution:

Set the IN and OUT points for clips on the timeline so that there is at least a few seconds of video / audio beyond the edit point.

Explanation:

Dissolves wipes and other soft cutting effects are created by overlapping two video or audio clips. The overlapping takes place beyond the edit point. When preparing the edit you need to leave enough video / audio for the transition.

NOTE: Watch out for camera cuts near edit points. These can cause unwanted image flashes during transitions.
