Quote When I apply a video transition, specifically the Fade Cross Transition, there is no audio transition applied with it...there is no graphic in the timeline for audio transition, and when I listen there is no transition..
If I modify the transition (double click the transition and menu appears), to Overlap and then back to Cross, the audio transition then appears in the timeline and I hear the audio fade in and out.

How do I default a transition to always have an audio transition associated with the video?

Thanks for any tips!.

sound).

Understood. I take it then that one does not usuall fade sound with the Cross transition?

That's correct. With any Cross transition there is no overlap and no automatic audio fade is applied.

To have the audio fade, either set the transition behavior to Overlap (so the audio will automatically fade) or keep the behavior as Cross and separately drag a Constant Gain or Constant Power audio fade onto the audio track below the video Fade transition:
