When I create a transition, I can't increase it's duration, I don't see why it has to be so hard. I've understood it will decrease the length of the two clips, but that's fine, I just want a longer transition!
Any help?

After you shorten the clips, you will be able to change the duration of the transition.
Drag the edge of the transition outwards, or select the whole transition, press control-D and type a new duration: for example, type
100
or
1.
for one second, or
20
for twenty frames, etc.

As I said, zoom in and pull the tabs in the upper corners to shorten the adjacent clips allowing you to lengthen the handles to make a longer transition. You can trim one or both sides depending on your shots and what works best of the content. .
Notice the red edge on the left. It means that there are no handles at the start of the incoming clip. You need to cteate that by dragging the leeft little pair of vertical bars to the right.
To lengthen the transition you have to shorten the clips, on one or both sides. Zoom into the transition and you’ll see tabs at the top of the transition icon that let you trim the clips.
Thank you for your answer, but I must be doing something wrong: by using those tabs it does shorten the the clips, however it still doesn't change the actual duration of the transition, it just moves to another position.
That's the thing, I literally cannot drag the edges of the transition outwards, neither can I change it by using the control-D function. When I try to shorten them by dragging the edges, it's as if I've reached a max, I simply can't make it any longer. I can, however, make it shorter by dragging the edges inwards.
I know it sounds weird, as if it's not allowed to trim the two clips...
It's apparently this one transition in particular that I can't seem to increase the duration for some reason, but the other ones I seem to have understood how to do it, it just seems more complicated than it should be.
Thanks for the help!
