New user of Platinum 9. I'm editing AVCHD clips from a Sony camcorder with 5.1 sound. When I place clips in the time line, the video occupies one track and the audio occupies 4 tracks: Front (stereo), Center, LFE, and Rear (stereo). It is nice that the program does it this way so that each audio channel can be edited separately, BUT:

Often I want to fade-in or fade-out the audio for a clip. When I fade a clip's audio in the first audio track (which is the "front" channel), only that track fades. The other 3 audio tracks for that clip do not fade (Center, LFE, Rear). I have to manually make the identical fade in the other 3 audio tracks, one at a time, being careful to make the fades identical in length. Two questions:

1. Is there a way to fade all four 5.1 audio tracks for a clip in the same operation rather, than one track at a time?

2. In a related question, if I want to apply the same audio fade to several other clips, is there a way to do it without dealing with each clip individually? I tried copying and pasting "Event Attributes", but that does not seem to include fades as one of the attributes it copies/pastes to another clip.

Thanks.
