Overlapping clips won't dissolve or allow transiti

I've never had this happen before. Suddenly, when I try to overlap two clips in the timeline, instead of dissolving the second clip just takes over as if it were at the end. Have I accidentally changed some default or what's happening. Help!

Jerry: Not sure what's happening. Are you getting a cut instead of a dissolve when you overlap clip two with the end of clip one?

This will happen if one (or more) of the events has the right-click switch "Lock" set to true (the event is locked).

I've ran into thiswhen I tick-OFF Options>AutomaticCrossfades.

There is an icon near the top that looks like two overlapping triangles (between the Snapping icon and the AutoRipple icon) that turns automatic crossfades on and off.

Also, Ctrl-Shift-X toggles automatic crossfades on and off.

'Just though I would throw this in because this just happened to me (in case none of the above suggestions work)...

When using ctrl-drag (duplicate clip), I accidentally ended up with two identical clips placed right on top of each other. With auto-ripple ON, they were dragged together to make the cross fade, but the cross fade didn't appear when I played the video. Just a sharp cut. It was hard to tell that I was dragging two clips and why the cross-fading suddenly wasn't working.

Thank you, it worked for me!!
