Tony,
I downloaded your file and tried your file on the following programs with the same results:
CyberLink PowerDirector 10
Corel VideoStudio Pro X4
Corel VideoStudio Pro X5
Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9
and yes even on my MAC using iMove6 and Final Cut Express 4 (can't afford the Apple Final Cut Studio 3 - about $1400.00 US dollars.
). BTW: Can you help in getting about a $1300.00 discount????
All programs had the same effect.
Yes there is always going to be a sloppy overlap between the clips, when using the Fade or Cross transitions are used.
Now one can edit whether or not they want to use the Overlap or Cross Transition Behavior effect.
Here is how:
I first placed the Pano.m2ts file into Timeline
Then selected the “Fade Transition”.
Placed the transition onto the clip.
Then right click on the transition and select "Modify Transition Behavior”, Ooops wait, wait and wait, found out before one can click on the "Modify Transition Behavior” selection., the placement of the transition is very critical or you cannot modify the transition. The transition first has to be placed on top of the two adjoining clips (at the end of one and the beginning of the next clip) in order to modify the transition. If the transition is placed onto just one clip, the transition has no Blue Audio area in it. Also this transition can not by right clicking select the "Modify Transition Behavior” option, for it is now grayed out.
If one places the Fade Transition to where it is between the two clips, then the Blue Audio is shown and one can now right on the transition and select and the "Modify Transition Behavior” option.
Now right click on the transition in the timeline and select "Modify Transition Behavior” and select either Overlap or Cross Transition Behavior option to use.
If the Overlap Transition Behavior is used as shown in the “Overlap Option.png” file, the transition just stays at the end of that clip and has a slight blurry transition to the next clip.
Now if the “Cross” option had been selected, it moves the Fade Transitions to where it is exactly between the two clips. This produces a double blurry effect appears, one at the end of first clip applied to and the beginning of the next clip. However, only one frame at the beginning of the next clip is clear, with no blurry effect, but who just sees one frame while viewing the video?
Now click on the Blue Audio area and Right click, then select Remove. This has no effect on the transition for the video part.
Let’s move on over to selecting the “Cross” transition and use it to see what effects occur. The same steps above were applied to it as with the “Fade” transition. The “Cross” transition has a Zoom In-Out and a dark contrast between the two clips.
The PD-10 manual states:
“After you drag a transition between two media clips, the transition is set as an overlap transition by default. The transition icon moves to the end of the first media clip. When you modify the transition behavior to a cross transition, the transition shows up between the two media clips. You can tell which type of transition you are using by judging where your transition is located.”

All had the same effect.
And yes it will be blurry whenever a fade or cross transitions is applied, whether it be an Overlap or Cross Transition Behavior. This is due to the fact that the transition merges the two media clips, by overlapping them at the same time.
Personally, I enjoyed the panorama view.
Hope I did not cloud up the water even more than it already is, but this is the best I can do for you.
Bill in Texas - it's hot here.
