Hi Jim, your answer isn't very helpful. The clip is as it is. You can't go back to the videographer and ask to add extra frames.
Not the videographers fault at all.
You ask the editor to work within the frames that the videographer supplys.
The cameraman usually rolls before the wanted action begins and stops after the action finishes.
If the editor wants a transition..it is the editors job to make the IN and Out edit points within the ends of the source clip. ie inside at least equal to the length of the transition.
SImply put...you dont apply transitions to the full duration of the source clip and it is up to the editor to choose the essential action in the clip.
