What is happening is that your footage does not have sufficient
"handles" to accomplish the transition. Keep in mind every transition
(except a CUT) involves an OVERLAP of frames. On both the incoming and
outgoing shot, there MUST be sufficient frames for this overlap. Bump
the out point of the leading shot BACK a second, and bump the in point
of the following shot FORWARD a second, and this will give your
transition what it needs. This is why, when shooting, a director says
"action" AFTER the camera is rolling, and "cut" AFTER the scene has
ended. You must shoot for your edit!
