Set transition duration numerically?

With Premiere I was used to right-clicking on anything to set a numeric duration. I'm new to VV3 so I'm probably just overlooking something. What I would really like is a dockable info window that displays clip start, end, and overlap with other clips in real-time as I drag the clip around. Is there anything like that?

Nope, it's all in zooming your timeline horz. and looking at the 1 sec. grid marks. More of a creavtive thing than a mechanical thing in Vegas. Think organic.
Set Grid to sec. setting.

From what you guys told me, I think I found the best way to do this. Overlap the clips and then double click the overlap, like GG said, to create a loop region. You can then drag either end of the loop region and see the duration change in real-time down above the preview. Drag it to whatever duration you want then drag one of the clips so that its edge snaps to the loop region and, voila, precise duration.

In practice, it's easier than that sounded. I'll probably just go with the "organic" idea, however, and not worry so much about exactly equal transition durations.
