Specific to Premiere Elements Version 12.

Having made some clip cuts on Timeline for inserting transitions, then put in transition, the effect when playing the position of the transition plays a couple of frames of the end of the first clip. I can delete transition but how do I combine the clips again before trying to overcome this situation? [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Delete one of the cut video clips, and drag the other part of it to fill the gap.

.....or just drag the original clip from the media bin to the timeline. This, of course, may not be an option depending on the amount of editing that you have already made to the clip.

Thanks for information, but my problem stems from putting a transition between two clips, clip one and clip two say. When I play the project, with transition placed, the fade out comes with say two frames from the last of clip one before continuing clip two. The effect of the tradition is lost as there is not a change of scene break between the clips. I tried to cut clip one back a little but cannot get it right. I am sure it is me doing something incorrect but I did seem to get the transition in between the two clips. Robbie

That's correct, Robbie. If you slice a clip and add a transition between the two halves, you're transitioning from a clip to itself -- so the effect will be as if there was no transition at all.
It will work with some transitions. Zoom In/Out for instance. But if you're just dissolving from a clip to its other half, it will be essentially invisible.
What effect are you specifically trying to achieve?

If all else fails the 'Dip to Black' transition overcomes that problem.

I know it is not very clear because it is difficult to explain. First do know how the removing of a clip and pushing the remainder along works. My experience, for whatever reason, is that I place a transition between two clips. Peel was the transition. When I play the section of project, in which the transition has been placed, the peel starts at the end of clip one. The page continues to turn and I expect clip two to start. Instead towards the end of the peel two or three frames from clip one appear as the peel ends. I hope that this helps to understand what I am trying to correct. Now with regards combining I though one way round would be to trim a few frames from the end of clip one. Then combine the clips again and see if that corrected the peel problem experience. I was trying to get rid of the clip line between clip one and clip two, in other words to restore the two clip to one as it was when I started. I would not worry about this last trial of trying to combine two clips as I know that whether the clip line in between is there or not it plays as one. Regards Robbie

You need to trim frames from both the end of the first clip and the beginning of the second clip. Transitions use these trimmed frames to create the effect. The default transition has a 1 second duration. Normally, it will be centered on the cut which means that you will need half a second from clip 1 and half a second from clip 2. At 30 frames per second, that's 15 frames each that you will need to trim from each clip.
