1About this behaviour

Transitions records who decides how two units meet. Four editors let the user pick, eight apply transitions themselves, three build joins from first and last frames, two join units in order without naming a transition, one suggests and lets the user decide, and one leaves the join to another editor.

Nine say nothing. For drama, where most joins are straight cuts, the useful question is less which effects exist than whether the tool will leave a cut alone.
