Problems with transitions

We were editing the final cut of our video we found that we had a problem with one of our flashes between one of our scenes. This was due to the fact that a piece of our video had been copied from a later part of our raw footage that we had taken earlier. This part of raw footage had already been deleted, so was difficult to discover. It then used that clip to cover the transition and overlapped the main clip in the transition, so you got a ghost image of a boy playing on the sound mixing boards.

The way in which we solved this issue was to use adobe premier elements to put the transition a split second earlier so it would not use the image of the boy on the mixing decks and would get a image instead of the corridor so it would not have as many continuity errors in that part of our video.

The only problem with doing this is the fact that it does make the footage seem more disjointed due to the shortened clip of the corridor this makes it harder for the audience to accept the video and cannot be as fully immersed in the video.
