stop removing transitions when cutting clip

Hi
any suggestions on how to avoid message 'neighbouring transition will be removed' when I cut a clip? It dosn't seem to happen everytime.

I think it is just something we all put up without complaint (???!!) and have done so for years. That does not mean to say, though, that I would not be interested if someone actually HAS found a workaround...

Why do you set transitions if you haven't done your basic editing? Set your transitions after you have edited adjacent clips and it won't happen.

VS can be set to automatically insert a chosen transition when a project is started. I suspect most people use that and hence come upon the problem message. Even if you do as you suggest and do your basic editing first, and then insert transitions, I find it is almost inevitable that one has an afterthought (read 'stroke of genius') at least once, and wants to re-shuffle the order of the clips or otherwise play around with the layout. So again the dread message comes up. As I say, we learn to live with it.
