Automatic fade transitions in Multicamera Edit

I've created a Multicamera Track and populated it with a series of events from three cameras. All the transitions defaulted to cuts. I'd like for them to be fades. Can I set up Vegas Pro 22 to automatically fade every transition when I do a Multicamera Edit?

If not, is there a way to change all the transitions in a track from cuts to fades? I know I can do each one manually, but there are over a hundred transitions in one 50-minute video and I've got several more, even longer, multicamera videos to create.

From the Help file:

TIP Holding the Ctrl key while choosing a take will create a crossfade instead of a cut, with the alignment and duration determined by the Cut-to-overlap conversion settings from the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog. For more information, see Editing Tab

@Al_Korzonas The TIP above is the way I do it. But I noticed that if I expand back to the original camera tracks without keeping the unused takes, it loses the fades but retains the overlaps. However, if I expand and use the "keep unused takes as muted events" option, it retains the fades but is more cluttered.
