Change length of transition by moving the 2nd video clip

[DRM]

It seems to me–forgive a nooby butting in–that to maintain UI consistency, it might be an idea to add Delete to the option of Remove or Lift when applied to a transition. Delete (or perhaps Revert) would remove the transition and restore the status quo before the transition was applied, with the two adjacent clips reverting to their original position and length.

I agree. I made a very similar suggestion before:

Deleting transitions

I was thinking before about a suggestion where a feature could be added when you right click on a transition clip it would offer an option to undo the transition by extending both clips at 50% by ripple pushing to the right all the clips on that track. I wonder if it could be done though because transition clips can be moved around independently. So I don’t know if it could be programmed that the transition clip would know when it’s positioned in between its source clips but if it could then it…

The option in Properties to turn the transition into a Cut would do exactly the same thing.

That’s not what Cut in transition does. Cut in transition is actually a useful option if you are putting different clips together but the audio is not playing right with those clips side by side like producing a pop or crackle sound. By creating a transition clip and picking Cut then it would play the video as if it was just a regular cut but allow the audio to be mixed in well and hopefully avoid those pops and crackles.
