  <p>This happens all the time where I have two clips together and I have a transition in between them. Now I want to tighten up the transition by removing some frames from the clips on either side. Here is what I do:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Delete the transition.</li>
  <li>Select the clip on the right (or the left).</li>
  <li>Click again to get the first frame.</li>
  <li>Use the <kbd>,</kbd> and <kbd>.</kbd> keys to nudge/extend that edge of that clip.</li>
  <li>Reconfigure and re-add the transition.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Getting this right can require repeating this process maybe 5 or 10 times.</p>

  1. Delete the transition.
  2. Select the clip on the right (or the left).
  3. Click again to get the first frame.
  4. Use the `,` and `.` keys to nudge/extend that edge of that clip.
  5. Reconfigure and re-add the transition.

  Up-arrow will do the trick. Down-arrow takes you to the first frame of the next clip.
  
  Trick: if you're looking for the *last* frame of a clip, go to the start of the next one, then use back-arrow once to move back a frame.
