I have 350 After Effects movies – how to add a dissolve between each?

[Jeremy Garchow] “OK, that’s cool. Then you can simply type in the in point for your first clip (which should be 00:00:00:15 right in the browser under the “In” column. Then (and this will be a bit tedious, but ok) you option drag that in point to the next in point. You can then do the same for the out, out point is 00:00:10:15, then option drag the out point to each clip. Add them all to the timeline, then select all and hit command-t.”

I know I could type in all of those numbers for each clip, but I am trying to avoid repeating the same procedure 350X.

[Jeremy Garchow]

you can option drag the in point to each clip (don’t have to re-type it).

But wouldn’t I have to re-do this 350X?

Ya, goes faster than you think.

I know this is a late response, but this is the easiest way I know of: Assuming you have After Effects, lay all of the videos down in a comp, select the first movie (layer 1), scroll all the way down to layer 350, shift click it, then go to the “Animation” drop down, “Sequence Layers” and it will give you an option as to the overlay you want to use, then you’d have to re-render it. That would be the best way, IMHO…
