I have a movie with lots of crossfades between clips. If I decide to edit one of the clips in the middle, or add a new clip in there, I can't find a way to move the target clip to crossfade with the clip before it, and move all the following clips (with crossfades) with it. When I select the target clip and all the following clips as one unit, and then try to move the clips to the left to crossfade, there is no "crossfade" option. So I would have to RE-crossfade all the follow-on clips!

Did that make sense?

HI Sonex439 ,
Sort of. Why not drop in a clip into a higher numbered track, carry out your changes and drop the clip into the position you want afterwards?

Did that suit your possible needs.

Please attach a screenshot - it's a lot easier to show the issue.

If I understand your question right.
When adding or remover clip on the timeline between clip's and asked if you want to move all to the right, confirm.
For this new clip add the Fade transition thus will not dishevel your project.

Here's a screen shot. You can see all the transitions. If I edit one of the clips at the left, like cutting off the end of a too-long clip, I can click on the next clip, hold down Shift, and click on the last clip. Now all those clips are selected. If I then drag all of the highlighted clips to the left, and try to create a fade on the shortened clip (by overlapping the two), there is no "Crossfade" option in the resulting dialog.

Hi,
Thank you for the images. From what you've shown.
1. Your split/cut action has removed the previous transition.
2. The dialogue box is to do with the insertion of the moved media.
3. You'll need to manually insert a new transition.
I'm interpreting what you've shown and what you've written. I don't see an issue here as all you need do is insert a transition.
