When choosing to apply a transition to all, the choice is provided for "Prefix", "Postfix", or "Cross". There is no choice for "Overlap". Transitions can be individually changed from Cross to Overlap after "apply to all", but Overlap can't be "mass produced".

Yes - that's true.

After applying the Fade (Cross) transition throughout, the only way to change to overlap transitions is to select each one & switch.

I'm not making a comment one way or the other - just how it is.

Dear xxx,

Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.

I understand your concern related with PowerDirector 9 Ultra64 bit software.

Regarding your concern, I would suggest you to use the Cross transitions function to apply the facing to all the transitions.

When you click on the apply transition to all, you get 3 choices:
1) Prefix Transition: apply to the first clip
2) Postfix Transition: apply to the last clip
3) Cross Transition: apply between adjacent clips

What transition depends on what you select and which behavior should be what you specify as the default behavior in the preferences.

Apparently, some idiotic programmer(s) takes the word "Cross" in "Cross Transition" as being your selected transition with the "Cross" behavior always. This defeats the purpose of specifying the default behavior in the Preferences.

Cross Transition and Cross Behavior are TWO DIFFERENT things!

Yet, Cyberlink does not seem to recognize this idiotic mistake as evident by the above reply!
