About clip handles and transitions
Adobe Premiere Pro creates a transition by using the
handles
at the beginning or end of a
clip, if available. Handles are the captured frames outside a clip’s In and Out points. The
handle between a clip’s Media Start time and In point is sometimes called
head material
,
and the handle between a clip’s Out point and Media End time is sometimes called
tail
material
.

Media End
In some cases, the source media may not provide enough frames for clip handles. For
example, the camera may have stopped rolling too close in time to the next take, leaving
too few frames between the clip’s Out point time and Media End time. If you apply a
transition and the handle duration is too short to cover the transition duration, an alert
appears to warn you that frames will be repeated to cover the duration. If you decide to
proceed, the transition appears in the timeline with diagonal warning bars through it.
For best results with transitions, shoot and capture source media with sufficient handles
beyond the In and Out points of the actual clip duration you want to use.
(See “Performing a capture using device control” on page 70.)
