copying transition?

[Graham Bernard]

You need to select the Events before PEA-ing.

Thanks for your response, however, I just tried it again and the transition is not copied.

What I tried:

1. I selected the event I wanted to copy the transition from
2. did a “copy”
3. right-clicked on the destination event and did a PEA.

… nothing happens, no transition is copied.

what am I doing wrong?

AH-HA!!!!

I found out that the transition had indeed been copied, I just couldn’t see it until I dragged the edge of the clip.

Thanks again for putting me on the right track!

You posted your reply just as I was sending my own . . .

Yeah – my mistake. I had thought you had already made Event overlaps. I guess you hadn’t? Which does lead me on to the thought that a “user” would expect Vegas to work in the transition timing, as of the original transition AND its X-fade timings. No, you DO have to setup your overlaps OR get one of the great scripts-GUIs to make overlap option automatic for you.

But if you are wanting Vegas to overlap when you do PEA a trannie X-Fade, then why not? Send this as a product request to SONY!

Thanks Grazie,

I should have been more specific. In this particular case, I had a composition for an animated lower third and wanted to apply the same transition to my 3 composited tracks (after I had adjusted the top transition to my satisfaction).
