Great tip on adding the default xtion to a lot of clips, I’ll have to try that one. Another way of adding the default xtion is to CONTROL or right click the joint for a dialog box, I also change the duration of xitions this way. You should also cover changing the default transition’s duration. I hardly ever use a 1 second dissolve, I prefer about 10 frames. You cannot edit the transitions duration in the effects bin (at least in FCP5<). To accomplish this, you have to create a favorite, alter the duration, then set that one as your default.
