Problems with deleting Transitions

Question

For some off reason, when I try and delete some dissolves they don't delete. It's almost as if the transition is part of the timeline. Even after I delete the clip and scrub the timeline, the transition effect is still there!
Anyone have a fix for this.Or a reason this is happening?

Answer 1

....but why would you want a blank space of nothing in your movie?
A blank space can be pretty useful.
1. To create a temporary placeholder.
2. To create a clip with a colored background. Creating a blank space — actually called a Black clip — is the first step towards creating a green clip, a pink clip, or whatever color you want.
Let's say you want to make a gold title over a green background.
• Set the timeline to Timeline view (not Clips view).
• Drag a clip right to create a Black clip.
• Switch the timeline to Clips view. the Black clip will appear.
• Double-click on the Black clip to open the Clip Info window.
• Click on the color box and change its color to green.
• Add the title.
