Well, sort of. You enable transitions by overlapping clips on the time line. If you have snaps set to "on", you effectively enable a default transition time. You can change the width of the snaps by altering the internal settings and hence you can change the default transition time. I've never felt the urge to do so, though.

How do you select all the clips to the end of the movie and move them? I tried the "right click and select events to the end" and that does work, but it doesn't grab everything. It will grab audio and video but it doesn't grab the overlay.. Is there a way to grab everything?

AM - I too haven't solved this riddle. However, it might be worth trying:

1. Select to end - GROUP

2. Overlay track - Select the track - GROUP

3. BIG question - Can we now select these two GROUPS? Then move the lot?

As you say AM - I have found the overlay Text is left behind - yes?


Grazie

Hi ANDREMIKE and Grazie. You may find you can select up to 4 tracks from beginning to end and move the whole as a group, if i understood the question correctly. It could be more but I only use 4 tracks. If you hold down Ctrl when left-clicking each 1st event in each track starting from the bottom to top it selects the 1st event in each track. However, if your tracks don't line up vertically ie there's a few unselected events, you can select these uneven 'unselected' events too by still holding down Ctrl and left clicking them. This has to be specically in the order of working from the bottom up again, the bottom track's nearest to the already selected vertical line to the left. Then by right-clicking on an event and 'select events to the end' you can move the whole 4 tracks.
I hope this makes sense.

Cheers Laz1

BTW I keep on forgetting my passwords and everytime I reinstall windows etc I have to re-register, so I may return as Laz1111.

Laz1...1, I'm not sure where the bottom up requirement comes from. I start by splitting at the insertion point (if there isn't already a gap) and then selecting to the end of the overlay track. After that I <ctrl> left click on the next clip down then right click to select to the end. And so on down.

Excellent IanG and much easier. I don't know where I picked that up from either. Thanks.

You can also use the Selection Tool to drag the mouse over the events/tracks you want to select and then Ctrl-D to return to the normal editing tool and move them.
