Notes on using Final Cut Express

Creating a transition with Text can make for some strange clip math. For instance, for a 5 second transition consisting of black screen, text fades in then out, then black screen, then the video continues, you could assemble the following:

black screen, text, black screen
0:15 2:15 0:15

insert the following transitions at the black screen/text clip junctions:
fade in, fade out
1:15 1:15
