Understanding the Graphical Display in the Quick Transition Dialog Box
The graphical display of the transition effect that appears in the Quick Transition dialog box allows you to control the length and position of the effect with frame accuracy simply by dragging. Using the three alignment buttons, you can also quickly reset the position of the effect.
The graphical display shows the following:

The outgoing (A) and incoming (B) media for the transition to which
you are applying the effect. The amount of handle that is available for
each piece of media is clearly indicated both as a darker area on the
graphic itself and as a number of frames.

The transition effect that you are applying. The display shows the
effect icon and indicates the length and position of the effect in relation
to the media.

Three alignment buttons. These buttons appear when you click the
Position button and select Custom or when you click in the graphical
display. They allow you to quickly reposition the effect so that it either
ends at the cut point, is centered on the cut point, or starts at the cut
point.
