Transitions Wont Apply To Connected Clips

Whenever I try to add a transitions such as "crossfade" or "fade to color" to any clip that is connected to the primary storyline it will no longer take. I didn't have this issue before I updated to the newest version of Final Cut Pro 10.6.2. But ever since I've updated the software no transitions will work on any connected clip, title, or generator. I've tried closing out FCPX and restarting my computer. And nothing changed. Any ideas on what changed?

Ugh...that's....annoying. I only update because they always tell you that it's important to get the latest update, and now I have an issue when I was just fine before :( Thank you for your help though! I tested out your solution and it worked!

I don't know who "they" are, but you should always be carefully about updating, especially applications like FCP where users often rely on third party plugins. Be especially carefully of upgrading to new versions of the OS, test thoroughly on a separate drive before committing working systems to it. Make sure all auto updaters are switched off in the App Store and in Software Update.

It's a bug in 10.6.2. You need to select the start, end or entire clip, then double-click the transition from the transitions browser.

Do as Tom advises but if you must update FCP always keep a copy of the old one . . . just in case.
