So I did have a long-time pro experience in techniques, gear, and knowledge expectations.

I also had a 35 year background as a portrait studio photographer/owner, besides having been a 'hot' color & b/w printer as we ran our own lab and did specialty printing for other pros. And like you, didn't understand why it didn't do some of the 'automatic' things that the prosumer movie-making programs do. I'd had some background with Pr Elements (even to making video tutorials in it) and I found PrPro bewildering at first. I started in PrPro about five years ago, just before the 'end' of CS6 and beginning of the first CC release. Perhaps PP/Adobe takes it's product TOO seriously, as evidently do some experts.

A full featured program like PP should allow for optional shortcuts, without forcing the user to use some other software just to clean up camcorder footage. At the very least, Adobe could have simply provided an option to automate the process, letting us idiots use a quality software without always choosing-every-single-step manually. IMHO if PP 'forces' the user to locate handles manually, that does not necessarily make it a better or more precise editor. Maybe Premium Elements improves upon this, I've yet to try that software. No one is 'ignoring' anything, on the contrary, the exactness of the procedure is what's in question. Jim, your bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired - if you are weary of stupid questions from beginners, perhaps you should let others answer who may still remember when THEY first started out. If this is adversely affecting something, I don't know what - but yes, I am learning. it effectively changes a hard edit to, perhaps, a crossfade, with no need to tell it where your 'handles' are.

Since Movie Maker can take an abrupt transition where a 'splice point' has been added (one click), then allow the choice of many different transitions 'automatically' using frames either side, over, under, around & through the splice point. and that's what brought me to this forum. And thus the program length would be affected, and things would shift around and that can be a disaster for the editor when clips, graphics, music are already in place and carefully timed. So, if one could press a button to automatically add a transition between two such clips, it would be necessary that the second clip be slid to the left to provide some overlap of previous clip to allow for a transition to be created. If the clips are butted together with no handles (overlap), then no transition is possible between them since they do not overlap at all. If that's the case, and they are all just butted together end to end - where are we getting the 'whatever frames necessary' to create a transition? To do any kind of transition, frames from BOTH clips must be blended together in some way. You said you didn't want the clips trimmed. Regarding this statement: ' The automatic insertion of a transition should use whatever frames necessary either side of the transition point, keeping the program length intact.' That statement is contradictory in itself. No condescension implied, sorry if it came across that way.

If you want Automation, I'm sure there are free or cheap consumer programs to do just that.

Premiere CC is a professional application, where the editor will make careful choices for each scene. I'm sure there are editing programs that will let you 'Auto-add transitions between every clip'. If two untrimmed clips are butted together, there are no overlapping frames with which to create any sort of transition. It's as if the clip ends are overlapped and you see both at once. You are not losing those frames - you will still see them during the transition. Well, if you want a 1-second transition, you must necessarily 'trim' 15 frames from end of first clip and 15 frames from beginning of next clip, and this would allow for the 30-frame transition. You say you don't want to trim the content, you just want a smooth transition. There's valid reasons that the required trimming in order to add a transition is not automatic - adding a transition would change the length of the program, and that could have unwanted consequences for the editor!
