I used the automate to sequence with default transition. A few dozens of transitions were added to the sequence.
How to remove all the transitions without deleting the sequence and starting from scratch please?

Thanks in advance.

Correct answer Averdahl

Shift+select them and delete them.

I also think, if there is an option ...apply the default transition to all selected... you have done that to your 100 over clips, then there should also be an option 'remove all transitions for the selected area'.

Why give a shortcut to apply transitions to it all but now way to get rid of them?

I found that putting in transitions doubles my movie size. So I dont want them any more...so, putting them in was easy and getting rid of them is tedious?
It looks like going to the Mafia for a cash credit. Getting it is easy but paying it back costs you a finger or your life.

Is that true, putting in transitions doubles the movie size? Are yuo sure, because as far as I remembr my final file is always same size, it only depended to the lenght not the efects!

I think the effects and transitions only make the encoding time long not the file size.

Hi, Jim. I mean video editing in ppro cs4. "Video Transitions" is within the "Effects" Panel. So, its very logical when you choose "clips" > "remove effects", the pop up windows should include "transitions' as well.

>"transitions" are in fact under the "effects" category.

Do you mean in a general video production kind of way, or do you mean specifically in a folder or a menu? Because in the first sense, an effect and a transition are two very different things, and in the second sense, previous versions of Premiere did indeed have them separate. If they're now combined, well...Adobe should also realize the first sense and probably should not have done that.

Thank you David for your input.

Its strange that there is an item "remove effects" under the clip menu, but the effects to be removed do not include "transitions". And "transitions" are in fact under the "effects" category. So its very logical that "remove effects" should have included "transitions".

Given that you can apply the default transition to all selected clips in CS4, it might be nice to have a NONE transition which you could apply to all selected clips and thus remove any applied transitions.

If jusko thinks it worth it, he could submit a feature request to http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Depending on what editing you have done after using Automate to Timeline, it might be quicker just to repeat the process into a clean sequence (so you have a backup in the original sequence if you change your mind).

I agree. I would love to be able to select a bunch of clips, or an entire sequence and just remove all the transitions. This has come up for me a lot.

AFAIK there is no way to select all in one go.

A tip:
Since one click on the wrong place deselect all transitions you just selected i would select lets say ten transitions and delete them, select ten more and delete them, etc until all are gone. :)

Thank you Roger.

Do I have to select the transitions one by one ? But there are many transitions. Any way to select them all in one go?
