Adding effects to every transition between in and out points
OK, I’ve had a hard time finding this feature – I want to add a dissolve to every cut in my sequence at once. On Avid the choice of “Add In-Out” is on the menu when I add an effect, but I can’t find it on FCP. Can someone set me straight?
Thanks –

The way you accomplish this isn’t exactly the most obvious – but it will work. First select everything on your timeline. Then drag the entire selection over the canvas window and choose overwrite with transition. It will use whatever transition is set as your default transition. If everything goes right you’ll have cross dissolves at every edit point. There is the possibility of errors happening depending on how your timeline is laid out… and if you have a lot of tracks of video or improper handles on some of the clips you may run into some problems… but go ahead and give it a shot.

Thanks for the workflow idea, but wow – seems like there would be a less bulky approach to this simple process. I’ll give it a shot though.
Thank you –
