Solved Fade through black transition

I'm editing a video, I sometimes use the fade through black transition between cuts. I intend to put the transition onto a single cut only. However, the program places fad through black transitions on every cut on the video. Where can I control this so it only puts the transition where I want it and not automatically on every cut? Thanks, Paul Richards

Hi Paul

That's a new one. I've never seen that behaviour before and not sure what would cause it.
It sounds like a weird type of glitch that has got stuck in your program file.

The only settings that control some editing functions on the timeline are located here:
Options/Preferences/Editing
Try pressing the Default button at the bottom.
If that doesn't fix it, do a full program reset.

Let me know how you go.

Thanks for your quick help. Does the reset to default work the same with version 18? I followed your instructions to do a reset using the 18 icon. However, no window popped up. It just opened the program to the usual landing page. Did it reset automatically? I couldn't tell.  Paul

Please check that you followed the resetting instructions exactly.

I am using Vegas Pro 18. So I tried the reset with that Desktop screen icon. Perhaps resetting Vegas Pro 18 is different than Movie Studio Platinum. 

You need to get the box option to clear the cache.  That is important.  Your desktop icon isn't doing what's required.

Go to your program files and locate the "exe" file for your VP18.  Right click and create a shortcut.  Move this to your desktop and try again using the shortcut.

The reset instructions are identical for every version of VEGAS.
If the Delete all cached data windows does not open up when you try a reset, it has not worked.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
If you didn't install VEGAS Pro 18 on your C-Drive and installed it on a different secondary Drive, that is the only thing that could possibly cause the reset function not to work.
Programs should always be installed on your C-Drive, otherwise they may not work correctly.

It will only work if the VEGAS Pro start icon is located on your Windows desktop.
It will not work if you try to launch from Windows Start Menu.

If your VEGAS Pro 18 icon is located on your Windows desktop, try dragging into the middle of the screen, with no other icons around it.
Hold down the CTRL + SHIFT keys at the same time AND ALSO AT THE SAME TIME double click program icon on Desktop to Boot program.
Window will pop up.
Select Delete all Cached Application Data and then press Yes.
This will restore program to Factory Default Settings.

If you don't have a VEGAS Pro 18 start icon on your Windows desktop, you need to create one first.

If for some unknown reason the VEGAS Pro 18 start icon is not working properly, try deleting it from your Windows desktop and creating a new one.
Then do a reset with the new copy.
