I'd also like to have easier time working with transitions in
OpenShot...

I thought I'd able to create video project (slide-show video) with OS
where I need to put ~100 slideds on the timeline, connect them with
transitions, background music, animated title ets., but it looks I'll
use OS just to create animated title to be included in Cinelerra. :-(

Let's hope 1.3 will be more useful...I'm tired of wrestling with
Cinelerra, but OS is not ready yet.

Sincerely,
Gour

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openshot

When inserting a transition, two unintuitive things happen:

1.  The transition always defaults to the "up" direction, even when it's being placed over a transition that goes down a track.

2.  The transition doesn't snap to anything, and defaults to the same length no matter what.

I'd like to see transitions "know" when they've been placed across overlapped clips, orient themselves in the right direction, and snap to the edges of the overlapping clips so no adjustment is needed.  This would make editing so much more fluid and intuitive!
