Another problem with transitions in the same track, you do not have an easier time controlling the first video. If you put 2 videos and a transition, the transition will show the first video frozen. To fix this, you have to shorten the video from behind. If the transition was between two tracks, it would be easy to see where the transition begins and ends. On the other hand, to make a slideshow, it is an advantage to have the transition in a single track, speed and simplicity.
