Answers.Body: <p>Yes you can set a default transition that uses the ctrl-d key combo. I believe it's set by default to crossfade, which I use. You click your clip, control-d and it'll put the fade in and out on the item. </p>
  
  <p>You can change the default transition in the preferences.</p>
  
  <p>It really is simple. </p>
  
  <p>For bonus points, Control-shift-d works for audio.</p>
