Transitons After Final Cut Pro 10.6.2 Update

Hi, after the Final Cut Pro 10.6.2. update, I noticed any time I try to add a transition to a layered video track, nothing seems to add. Transitions will only seem to work if I add them to the primary track. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I'd like to add that Effects seem to work on the layered tracks. But if I wanted to use, say, Cross Dissolve or Fade In/Out, that won't work unless it's on the primary track. Prior to the update, that wasn't the case.

You can't drag and drop transitions onto connected clips. The behavior has changed in the application. Transitions have to be applied to selected clips or edit points by double clicking the transition in the browser, or by using a keyboard shortcut for the default transition.

Does it work if you manually create the storyline?

Yeap...I just through the comments and saw that. It works....it's going to take some getting used too, but it's working and that's what matters!

Happy Editing!!!!

Stop using drag and drop to apply a transition.

It's a bug.

Yeah, basically I have added images as secondary storylines and want to blend them in. Adding transitions does not work.

Any other workaround solutions? Need to finish a video today and having no transitions lowers the overall quality of the video :(.

Apr 13, 2022 4:54 AM in response to Luis Sequeira1

It's as if you can read my mind. To be honest I had to google what a secondary clip is and I thought I created one by adding another layer.

But you're right, I did not and your (first) workaround solution works perfectly fine. Thanks so much!

Okay, thanks for that. Pretty major change there. It looks like I can still drag an effect like a cross dissolve to merge a cut in a video clip. I was wondering if it was a bug rather than a feature since at first it looked like you could no longer add effects to layered clips. is there some logic to making this change?

Thanks again.

What are you doing to add the transition? There is no selection made, neither the edit point nor the clip.

I would select the clip, and then drag the effect I’d want to use onto the clip. That was always how I did it but now it seems to not be working.

I'm having the same issue after I updated fcp to 10.6.2 this morning.

I haven't found a solution as of yet

Apr 13, 2022 12:29 PM in response to Luis Sequeira1

I have the same issue - just updated to 10.6.2 and now I am no longer able to add cross dissolves to a compound clip.

I hope there is a way to uninstall this update.

You can drag a transition onto a clip in the primary storyline, just not to connected clips.
