Is there a way to add or remove transitions from all video clips, without having the do it individually? The reason I ask is that I find that if I make certain changes to the video clips, if I leave the transitions in place, I can end up with gaps between the clips, which only show up in storyboard view, or in timeline view if I remove the transitions after finishing the editing.

Thanks for that - I've added a bookmark to Chrome for future reference. The audio fade could be very useful sometimes, rather than adding fades using the Pip Designer function. I still can't find any reference to removing all transitions though, so it may be that that particular feature isn't available.

Yeah, I'm not aware of any way to remove all transitions. That's something you can request from File > Rate Us & Provide Suggestions. It might be useful to have options to remove all on both a per track and entire project basis.

As to the current situation, you may find that locking all the tracks that you aren't working on will prevent the unwanted clip separations.

Hi,
Just to complete the picture, don't forget that you can select a group, or all, transitions, admittedly one by one, by selecting them whilst holding down the Ctrl key and then deleting them with one keystroke. Not uber-slick but perhaps better than nothing?
