  • applying crossfade to multiple audio cuts at once

    Posted by Tony Asimakopoulos on March 25, 2010 at 7:11 pm

    Hello!
    I know this is probably a basic question, but I can’t find the answer in the manual. I need to apply a simple 2-frame crossfade to all my audio cuts. There’s gotta be a way to select all the clips/edits and do them all at once. But how? 🙂
    thanks!
    Tony

    Select all the clips then Command+Shift+T will apply the default audio fade between all clips.

    Thanks John,

    Just tried it – no luck though! What could I be doing wrong?

    So sorry, it’s Command+Option+T.

    Hi again John!

    Thanks for your patience. It’s still not working for me…odd. Perhaps I’m selecting wrong? Is theer a way to select multipel clips so you see the “trim” color at each cut? Because it seems you can only apply a crossfade when you’re in trim mode, or whenthe “cut” itself is selected.

    thx
    Tony

    I think this only works in FCP 7. I used the single right-facing arrow selection tool (press T once) to select a bunch of clips and Cmd+Opt+T. You can select them however you like.

    I was looking for a way to do the same thing. Have you figured out a way?

    I’m using FCP 6.06

    Sadly, I haven’t! Doesn’t seem to be a way…. let me know if you figure it out!

    This is easy. Select all your clips (COMMAND + A) in the timeline, then go to your browser, choose Effects > Video Transitions > Cross Dissolve, then drag “Cross Dissolve” onto the clips. Voila.

    The hotkey is CMD+SHIFT+D
