Apply Transition to Multiple Clips All at Once

Not sure if this is the place, but I edit a lot of dance videos with multi tracks.  I cut up the top layers to dissolve from one track to the other.  It's time consuming to apply the same transition practically hundreds of times in this scenario.  Is there a way to select multiple segments and say "Apply default transition to all segments".  If not, then please put that on my wish list.  Thanks.

    Correct answer Meg The Dog

    Select all the clips you want to apply the default transition to by dragging across them with the Selection Tool (V), then type Command (Control) + D.

    Doesn't work with customised transitions - they are added with default settings.

    Thank you for the tip,  however, this doesn't work for audio (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).  Is there a way to apply constant power or default transition to audio clips?

    Just to clarify one thing:

     

    "press Control + D"

     

    Thank you for the answer Meg. It helped a lot!

    For PC's. Mac's use a 'Command' key.
