This is a combined post from yesterday and today.
Adding transitions to text and overlay clips can be a tedious task, especially if you are adding the same transition to many clips. There are a few ways to do this.

There are a few keystrokes we need to know before watching the movie.
The first is the "v" key. It will select the nearest edit point on the track that is auto selected. (Auto select buttons are the first column of buttons to the left of the timeline tracks.)
.
Also, we need to know how to navigate from one edit point to the next without dragging the playhead. If you use the up and down arrow keys you can jump to the previous or next edit point, respectively. (This is not dependent on autoselect.)
And last, we need to know that the cmd-T combination applies the default transition to a selected clip.

This may be a little tough to get at first, but keep with it. You'll be amazed at how much time you will save when you get this down.

Enjoy!
