How to remove multiple transition effects in one go?

PostSun Jun 24, 2018 1:17 pm

Working with 15b5 at the moment and I have 100 images on the timeline with a particular transition between each and I wanted to select all the transitions and remove them in one go but for some reason I can't find this operation. I expected that right-clicking and delete would (after having multi-selected the transitions) but right-clicking deselects all but the one under the mouse).

I know this is a case of RTM but I didn't find it (maybe I'm losing it?).

TIA

Click on every transition individually, then delete en masse.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

I was hoping there was a faster way to select 'All' transitions...

If you have another NLE then make sure you have some kind of reel name assigned for all the images (clip name should suffice, the v14 manual has more info on this) then try exporting an XML from Resolve, import into your NLE and then export an EDL from your NLE back to Resolve, and deselect transitions in the options. For some reason Resolve has no EDL export options AFAIK otherwise you could just do it there. Anyway, back in Resolve import the EDL and point it towards your images.

Thanks for the workflow suggestion. I can't believe there isn't a straight forward mechanism. Oh well.

I'd certainly appreciate a 'remove all transitions from selected clips' command.

FCP7 had it!

It's not a fancy solution, but if you select every other clip and move it to a new level, the transitions will drop off automatically. Then you just move them back.
