Hi @FatalS
About issue #2.
There is no hidden button that allows to create instant transitions.
But nonetheless, here’s a quick tip that can help you if you need all your transitions the be the same length.
- Create a range marker and make it as long as the desired transition length. In my example below, I made it 16 frames long.
- Enable Ripple
- Move the marker until the right leg snaps to the end of the first clip
- Grab the next clip and move it to the left until it snaps to the left leg of the marker.
- Move the marker to the next clip and repeat.
Needless to say, Snapping also need to be enabled.
It’s not what you asked, but it will save you some time in the end.
