John,
A couple of things:
First, as for crossfading video, you are indeed correct, you can place the
transition as a 'cut' between the two pieces of video. It has been my
experience, however, that there are rare occasions that the 'drop transition'
effect simply doesn't give me what it want, especially if I am looking for
longer transitions. Sometimes I simply do not have the head room to do a drag
and drop transition.
In these occasions, I place one piece of video in track 1, and the another
piece on track two. I place the track two video overlapping track one the
length of time I need the transition to be. In other words, if I want a 3
second crossfade, track two overlaps track one by 3 seconds. Then I drag and
drop the transition I want onto track two, and make it the same length of time
that i want the transition, in this example, 3 seconds. Just wanted to give
you a heads up on that.
As for the audio, I have found the same problem, but on a much more regular
basis. I often find myself taking one of the pieces of audio and placing on
audio track two and pretty much doing the same procedure I described above,
only with audio tracks and audio transitions. I don't know why audio seems to
have more difficulty in using the drag and drop transitions, but it seems to on
my system. But to answer your questions, yes they work, but often not as much
or as nice.
I hope it helps...

I'm trying to figure out transitions in single track editing. For the video
part, it seems simple enough. Just drop the transition at the "cut" between
two clips.
Now I'm trying to figure out the audio part. I often like to use the
"cross-fade" tool for audio. In A/B editing you overlap the two audio tracks
in question a little, then select the cross-fade tool, then select each of
the audio tracks and bang, they do their cross fade.
I can't seem to do that in single track editing mode.
Is there something I haven't understood, or is it in fact like that? In
general, can you do an audio cross-fade in single track editing? Or maybe
it's automatically a part of any transition? or what?
Thanks for any illumination,
John
