Mac OS XAre you sure you have sufficient overlap on the two shots. This overlap is called "handles." Try this, move the second shot directly above to a higher video track. If you want to do a one second dissolve, add 15 frames to the tail of the outgoing shot and add 15 frames to the head of the incoming shot. There should now be a one second overlap and you can just add a one second dissolve to the incoming shot to get the equivalent of a dissolve.

Apr 6, 2014 8:16 AM in response to Andrew Hallidayby Andrew Halliday,Mike for some reason your reply doesn't appear in my feed. I was able to view it in my E Mail. I just copied and pasted another dissolve onto the one that I was having trouble with. See, I couldn't even HIGHLIGHT the connecting clips. Nothing happened. I know about adding or shaving off a clip, but for some reason this wasn't the case. i never had this problem before.
Thanks for your suggestion tho... Andy

Mac OS XHave you tried resetting your fcp preferences?

and I find that sometimes I have to zoom in on the timeline before I can highlight a transition.
And just to eliminate some basic things, what are your clip and sequence settings (pixel dimensions, codec)?
Another thought, your sequence might have gotten corrupted. Try creating a new sequence with the same settings, make the old sequence active and select all and copy, then paste into the new sequence.

Apr 6, 2014 4:33 PM in response to Michael Grenadierby Andrew Halliday,thank you Michael. I redid the clip and cut 10 seconds off it and I was able to create the Dissolve. It was just this weird thing that happened. I appreciate you help.
