After updating FCPX the transitions arent working.

After updating FCPX, the transitions arent working. Each time I drag a transition to a clip thats below the main storyline, the transition does not attach to the clip at all. Ive tried restarting, rebooting and updating my M1 macbook and none of that helps. Is anyone experiencing this problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

In 10.6.2 you can no longer drag and drop transitions from the Transitions browser to connected clips, nor to replace a transition in the primary storyline. To apply a transition select the clip or edit point you want to add the transition to, then double click the transition in the browser that you want to add to the project.

Me and all of the people that I work with are all having this exact issue. The one solution we've found is to group the clips that we want the transition to be in, together in a storyline. Something that used to be automatic when you added a transition between two clips up of the main storyline, and now must be done manually, a shame, and something that Apple should fix.
