Hi-

Very new to PD16 and trying to learn quickly. I've created a project with about 50 video clips so far. Transitions are set to orig default. Since then I have learned how to go into My preferences and change the default duration (among other things) for transitions. I need to drastically reduce the transition time from 2 seconds to .5 for ea transition. I've changed my preferences default to .5, but it doesn't seem to automatically change my project, assuming since its been created prior to my preferences update.

Is there a way for me now to change the duration for ALL transitions in the project without having to do it 1 by 1?

Appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Kel

There may not be. What would happen if you selected and highlighted every transition on the timeline by using the ctrl key and your mouse. See if you can set the duration for all. I don’t have access to PD16 at the moment.

Hi,

Tomasc is correct.

Select all the transitions (or select them in convenient bunches) using the Ctrl and mouse click.

Select the duration, choose your time and it should apply to all the selected transitions.

It's easier to see the selection if the timeline is expanded so you dont miss one.
