If you use another transition more frequently, you can set it as the default. When you change the default transition
setting, you change the default for all projects. Changing the default transition doesn’t affect transitions already
applied to sequences.
If you are preparing to add clips to a sequence and you know you want to apply the default transition to most or
all of the clips, consider using the Automate To Sequence command, which can put the default video and audio
transition between all the clips it adds. See “
Add clips to a sequence automatically
