copy and paste transitions?

[Mike Velte]

If you are madly in love with a particular transition, you can make it the “default” transition and apply it with CTRL+D at an edit point. Just right/click on the transition in the Effects palette and choose Default.

You can’t copy/paste transitions.

I probably dont do this correctly but I created a 2 hot keys in preferences

1 is created as the (~ or ` ) key this I mapped to “next cut”
2 is created as the (1) key this i mapped as default transition(ex fade)

now I just ~1 ~1 ~1 over and over, then flip the default trans when I want to do something else in massive amounts, You can edit 100 transitions via my method in 2mins no lie.

note the positions of the ~ & 1 key
set you work to video 1 for example then

`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1`1 look how many transitions i just created

That techique is pretty slick because the keys you choose are in a great location. However, there is a method that is almost as fast without having to assign hot keys. The ‘page down’ key will go to the next cut and the combination of ‘control+d’ will apply the default transition. To do this fast requires two hands, but it is as fast and easier than your method because you don’t have to assign keys.

I have kept the ctrl + d and page down method, because my brain is hard wired to do ctril + t which was the unchangeable media 100 transition shortcut.

I have assigned the W E S D keys to target higher and lower audio and video tracks, since my left fingers are always hovering around there.
