Adjusting a Transition Effect by Dragging in the Quick Transition Dialog Box
You can control the length or position of the transition effect by dragging in the graphical display.
To adjust the length of the effect:
1.  Do one of the following:
  To adjust the length of the effect without changing its start point, move the pointer over the right edge of the effect.
  To adjust the length of the effect without changing its end point, move the pointer over the left edge of the effect.
The pointer changes to a resizing arrow.
2.  Do one of the following:
  Drag away from the effect icon in the center to lengthen the effect.
  Drag toward the effect icon in the center to shorten the effect.
The graphical display and the Duration text box update to reflect your adjustment. If you are dragging the left edge of the effect, the Start text box also updates to reflect the changed start point.
To adjust the position of the effect:
1.  Move the pointer inside the effect.
The pointer changes to a hand.
2.  Drag the effect to adjust its position with respect to the cut point.
The graphical display updates to show the new effect position, and the Start text box updates to show the new number of frames before the cut point.
  You cannot drag an effect beyond the ends of the handles on the media because the Avid editing application cannot create a transition unless both incoming and outgoing media are available for every frame of the transition. You also cannot drag an effect beyond the cut point.
