If one or both of your clips do not have enough handles to cover the duration of the transition, what does Adobe Premiere Pro do?

In situations where one or both clips lack enough handles to accommodate the duration of a transition in Adobe Premiere Pro, the software creates a freeze frame. This approach ensures a visually cohesive experience rather than simply cutting the transition or removing it entirely. The freeze frame essentially holds a still image from the video, making it possible for the transition to occur without dropping frames or creating visual disruptions. This method preserves the integrity of the edit and allows for a smoother presentation rather than leaving a gap or abruptly ending the clip.

The other options do not accurately represent how Premiere Pro manages this scenario. For instance, eliminating the transition would disrupt the flow, while shortening the transition duration could lead to a jarring visual experience. Notifying the user would be appropriate in other contexts, but creating a freeze frame is the most effective solution in this case.
