Remove Multiple Dissolve Effects

[marsham9139737]

I applied the standard cross dissolve across many clips. However, I want to delete this. Other than selecting each one individually and deleting, is there a way to mass delete them? Thanks!

Unfortunately no. There is no remove dissolves feature in Premiere Pro other than manually deleting them on by one. 

There are a couple of inelegant workarounds.

One of them is select all in the timeline, right click and choose speed/duration, then change the speed to a higher value (say 105). click OK. This will remove all the cross dissolves but not the ones at the beginning or end of the first/last clip in the sequence. Now return the speed value for all clips back to 100.

The above is NOT something I would recommend as it could cause other issues, particularly in a complex sequence.
