It means that there isn't enough source material to put into the
transition. A transition is a method of going from one piece of material
to the next. If the clip that follows "orig" is positioned to start 13
frames before the end of "orig", then there are only those 13 frames that
can be included in the fade-in. As you've extended the transition to a
point beyond the start of the "next" clip, premiere is indicating that it
has no material to use. I've not done this with audio, but it might work
as you intended.

If Premiere still supported A/B editing, then your timeline if expanded
probably looks like this (use fixed width font)...

[---orig---]
[XX]
[-----next-----]

Where XX is the transition. It starts before "next" begins, but ends as
"orig" ends.

You may have to turn keyframes on
on the timeline

and then create the right gradual fade up or down
using the rubber band-like function

Also take a look in the manual, page 173 - it talks about this stuff.
