Transition deletion problems

Question

In completed iMovie I cannot delete transitions without it creating a short duplicate clip of the same photo - is it something to do with getting into edit mode - it was working fine before creating a quiktime movie for export. Now having problems in the original iMovie timeline. Anyone have this problem?

Welcome to the forum, Ossie!
Most — all? —transitions are built by borrowing
frames from their adjoining clips. Later, if you
remove a transition, iMovie returns those borrowed
frames to the project.
That can cause the source clip(s) to be restored to
their original length. Or, I suppose, a "new" clip
might appear which contains the borrowed frames.
(Exactly what happens may depend on the editing
you've done after adding the transition.)
If this sounds like it, that's normal.
I doubt, by the way, that exporting to a QuickTime
movie would damage the project in any way. That's
probably not affecting the behavior you see.
If this doesn't sound right, say more about the type
of transition it is. Test adding it, then removing it
to see how everything behaves.

Thanks Karl, The program seems to have locked up and I cannot change anything! Cannot add titles or delete dissolves or pictures. Even after saving the program to a new title and rebooting, I have the same problem?????
