Apply to all transitions (not dissolve)??

[Chuck Reti]

On a scene transition, create the effect you wish to use with the Effects Editor. Once it’s to your liking, drag the icon in the upper right of the editor box into a bin. You can even give it a useful name. Select the multiple scene transitions as you would do to apply multiple dissolves (shift-click, lasso). Double-cliek the effect you saved to the bin. Joy.

Hi,

I don’t understand when you say:

Select the multiple scene transitions as you would do to apply multiple dissolves (shift-click, lasso). Double-cliek the effect you saved to the bin. Joy.

I have the custom transition effect and I can certainly drag it to a cut, but whenever I try to lasso a bunch of cuts, all I get is the indvidual clips being selected. Shift-Click doesn’t really do anything as well.

Just to clarify, I am trying to apply custom transitions BETWEEN multiple clips, not custom effects TO multiple clips.

Thanks,

I think the most foolproof way would be:
set up your Slide In on one transition (the Avid CONCEAL effect category is what I’d use).
Create a new bin called >>> Quick Transitions <<< make sure it's mixed case like my example. With your one effect selected, drag the icon from the effect editor to this bin. In the sequence, mark In-Out for all the transitions you want (just like the great way we can add dissolves to the in-out range). Make like you're going to add a dissolve, but when the Quick Transition box comes up, click on the topmost box as if to change to a Dip to color or Fade from Color, etc. At the bottom of what you're used to seeing there is now a separator line and all the transition effects which live in the Quick Transitions bin you just made. Any Avid transition can be applied this same familiar way. Enjoy!

I here by dub you “king of all Avid knowledge”!

That is exactly what I was looking for. I have been editing for 10 years and on the Avid since 2001 (Xpress and MediaComposer and now Adrenaline) and never knew that one — in fact I dont think anyone knows that one! AFAIK it is not in the manual!

Thanks a lot!

Just to add… you can save that bin anywhere you like & open it for any project. Also, once you open that bin, you can close it… it doesn’t need to stay open & whatever transitions you’ve saved to it are still available.
