Apply same TransX in timeline

I saw someone do a quick thing where they selected all the timeline and then dragged a transition into the canvas and let it go over the overwrite with transition.

the result was the transition was put betwwen each clip.

I can't seem to get it to do that when I try?

I have the timeline All selected and try putting a transX over the canvas but nothing happens.

Did I see it wrong or am I missing a step.

Thanks All

Go into your effects tab in the browser and select the transition you want to use. Go up to Effects in the drop down menu and select "set default". Go into the timeline and select all the clips you want to add the trasition to and make sure the playhead is parked at the beginning of the clips. Then you grab all the clips in the timeline and dgrag them into the canvas and let go of the mouse over the "overwrite with transition box" and "Voila"!

hey yeah!..... that's it.

You made that look too easy!

Thanks.
