Adding multiple solid color clips to timeline cut points

[DMS Video]

I created a 1/2 second solid color, rendered it out and now it is a clip. Is it possible to place that 1/2 second solid color at every timeline cut point in one shot?

Is it also possible to make a second default transition buy utilizing an unused keyboard shortcut combination?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with the solid color... Could you elaborate?

On the second default transition, you can assign another key, but it'll still map the the same function, meaning you can't have keyboard shortcuts for different transitions.

Rendering a solid to a clip is unnecessary at best.
Having set the duration in the bin is enough.
There's no way to insert a single clip into multiple instances but with the following keystrokes it's pertty fast...

On the Timeline place the Cursor on the selected Track where you want the black to go.
In the Bin select the Black clip,
press Shift+Enter (adds Black clip to Timeline)
press A (advances to the next cut point)
<to repeat the process>
press Shift+Enter
press A

Alt+1 = 1 sec transition
Alt+2 = 2 sec transition
Alt+3 = 3 sec transition

Why are we assuming he wants to go to black? And if it is a different color, changing the transition duration would not help anything.

Brandon & Rusty,

Both of your replies gave me an idea. Here's the workflow concept...

1. Cut up the timeline
2. Add a 1/2 second (15 frames) dissolve between cuts
3. I would prefer that the clip to the left of the cut adds the 1/2 second (15 frames). I don't want the length of the clip to the right of the cut to change.

Can this be done??

I put four clips on the timeline and cut them up using multicam. At first I did not combine all the cut clips into the new track. I wanted to see if I could add transitions to a multi-track timeline. Unless I'm doing something wrong it won't let me do it. However, if I use a combined tracks then using transitions isn't a problem. Is it possible to add transitions to a timeline that has clips on 1V, 2V, 3V, and 4V? Or do I have to combine the four video tracks into one to apply transitions? If it's possible to add transitions to multiple tracks can you add multiple transitions at one time? Once I have all of this figured out I'm going to attempt to begin editing my first project.

Thanks
