How can you apply a transition across multiple clips in a Timeline?

Applying a transition across multiple clips in a timeline can be effectively achieved by selecting the clips and using the "Apply Default Transition" option from the Sequences menu. This method allows for a streamlined approach to applying consistent transitions to several clips at once, saving time and ensuring uniformity.

The process typically works by having the desired default transition set in the software’s preferences. Once multiple clips are highlighted, invoking the "Apply Default Transition" command applies the chosen transition between all selected clips seamlessly. This is particularly useful in video editing for maintaining a consistent visual style throughout a sequence.

Other methods like dragging and dropping manually onto clips or using keyboard shortcuts can be less efficient, especially when dealing with numerous clips. These options may require more clicks and time compared to a single selection and command. Thus, the selected approach maximizes editing efficiency and impacts the fluidity of the final video product.
