  Is there a quick way to make all clips a specified length and apply a transition

  Posted by Max Huggett on July 23, 2009 at 11:33 pm

  Hi people

  I have stack of 15 second graphic overlays, that where rendered out of After Effects as a single QT file.

  So far, i have quickly taken the first 6 seconds of each clip and layed them down, however my selected outpoints have been rough, which have meant, each clip is in between 5 seconds and 7 seconds in length.

  I would like to make each 6 seconds long. Is there an easy way to trim them all, so that they are this length.

  Furthermore, i would like them all to have a 10 frame dissolve/fade at the end of each clip. Can this be done in one go also, or is this an item by item case by dragging on the transition to the end of each clip.

  Thanks for any assistance.

  Max

  As for adding transitions to a number of clips in the sequence at once…

  Select the transition you want and ‘Make Default Transition’
  Duplicate your sequence (incase something goes haywire
  Place your sequence playhead at the head of the first clip you want to add transitions to
  Highlight all clips ahead of the playhead and drag them up to ‘Insert with Transition’ in the Canvas
  Final cut will now add transitions to all clips being inserted again into the timeline
