Place transitions at marker times

[zvit]

When I edit muticam, I set markers at places I know I will want a dissolve since you can't dissolve during multicam editing because the two clips are on separate tracks and you do the transitions after compressing to a single track.

After I compress, I go to my sequence marker window and have to double click each marker and click ALT-1 to place a dissolve. There can be MANY of these. Is there a way to select all markers in the list and have Edius place transitions on all the marker times at once?

p.s. Actually, I made an autohotkey script that does this automatically for me but it still takes time for it to go through all the marker times.

Depending on the numerical ratio between the number of junctions on which you want transitions and those on which you don't, you can select all or as many clips as you wish, apply the transition to them all then delete those on which you don't want the transition.

I don't understand. I have a timeline of about 1 hour with 500 cuts and about 50 places I need dissolves. What are you suggesting I do better than what I do now?

Sorry, given your numbers (50 out of 500 junctions to have transitions) and the way you're working (a one hour programme in a single sequence) and assuming that the 50 junctions needing transitions are spread out through the sequence and not grouped together, I don't think my suggestion has any merit for you.

(In fairness if you'd given those details in your original question I would have given you this answer then).

No, it's good you posted what you did because maybe it will help someone else in the future.
