I have upgrated from Tutorial to Full purchase of the Ultra package for PD14.

How many transitions are provided (I forget how many was shown during tutorial, but now I see 21 in 2D and 14 in 3D...is this right?, I do see others, but wanted just check on 2D and 3D)

Also, how can I select many clips, select 1 transition and have it apply to all those clips with selection of Fade In, Fade Out or Cross or Overlap)?

Also, how can I get it where the Audio (track is in Video track) to NOT pause or mute during transition? I woud like to not have the audio change OR have option to have audio fade out/in during transition

THanks! Doug

Hi Doug -

Here's what my transitions library looks like:

So - in theory - you should have 143 transition items in your library (not including purchased & downloaded ones)

To apply transitions to ALL clips & images in the timeline, click on the Library Menu button (little squares in grid icon) to see the options. In PDR, you can't apply transitions to a selection of multiple clips - it's one at a time or ALL.

To fix your audio at transition points, you could try applying an audio transition or use an overlap type transition which will insert a Constant Gain audio transition.

Cheers - Tony

Thanks Tony...I do see similar number of transitions but not exact (for the ones you do not have crossed off)...

Also, that is really a bummer to not be able to select clips, select a transition and apply to the selected clips...seems like a simple tasks that I am sure MANY would like to have. Doug
