Clever way of removing all transitions in a sequence?
I have a sequence with literally thousands of transitions. I need to export a copy with transitions, and a copy without. But as you can imagine I dont like the idea of having to go in there and remove every transition one by one.
Surely there must be some clever way of removing all transitions in a sequence in one go?
I will name my first born after anyone who can help.

Have you tried export a EDL with option ‘Omit transitions’ and then brought the EDL back in and re-link to the media? Never done it myself but it might work.

I can’t think of a way to easily remove the transitions but here is a possible work-around.
1) Set default transition to cross-dissolve with minimum duration (1 frame).
2) Move playhead to beginning of sequence.
3) Select all the clips.
4) Drag all the clips to the canvas and drop them on the “overwrite with transition” overlay.This will replace all your transitions with a 1 frame cross-dissolve which will effectively look like a pure cut. Again, it won’t actually remove the transitions, but the look will be the same.
Hope this helps, Jim

you bloody genious!
Why hasnt Final Cut thought of a function to remove all transitions?? Surely it should recognise that it would be an easy and good function.!
