Automatic Audio Crossfade
My AppleScript App mimics keypresses in order to do an instant audio crossfade.
In FCPX Command editor:
Toggle Audio Fade In is SHIFT 9
Toggle Audio Fade Out is SHIFT 0AppleScript:
try
do shell script "pgrep -x 'Final Cut Pro'"
on error
--FCP not open so quit
error number -128
end trytell application "Final Cut Pro" to activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "[" using shift down
key code 47 using shift down
key code 126 --up
keystroke "]" using shift down
keystroke "," using shift down
key code 126 using command down --up
keystroke "0" using shift down
keystroke "s" using control down
key code 125 using command down --down
keystroke "9" using shift down
keystroke "s" using control down
keystroke "a" using {command down, shift down}
end tell
The idea of a keyboard macro is not new, but this may be helpful.

Apple script is pretty cool. But just in case you are interested, check out this article on how to create an Audio Only transition using Motion. https://www.provideocoalition.com/audio-only-cross-fades-in-final-cut-pro-x/

Hi Chad
I find the compound clips to be a pain to unpick with that method.
