Transitions Absurdly Fast in Final Cut Pro

Why are all the transitions I drop in super short/really fast? It wasn’t happening until I cropped one transition (which I have deleted) but now they are all dropping in like that, and it won’t let me lengthen them. Any help would be great!

p.s. this is in-between two 10 second videos, so I don’t think they are too short to make the transition longer.

The length of the clips don’t matter. It’s how much handles you have available, how much media brings the edit point do you have to create the transition. If you have very little you’ll get a short transition. If you have none FCP will ask if you want to shorten the project.
