Just got Edius Neo 2 Booster and I will probably be totally crazy before I figure this software out.

I've spent the last hour-and-a-half trying to determine how to do a simple cross fade between video clips on the time line.

I have the manual and I finally figured out how to add the fade in/out buttons to the timeline menu but can't figure out how to add the actual transitions.

The manual is 600 pages and seems to jump around a lot.

Could someone offer me a tip on how to get this accomplished.

Thanks.

There are some great tutorials for EDIUS here...

Digital Video Editing | Edius5 with SP Hardware | XDCAM HD | Blu-ray | Edius Tutorials (http://www.videoproductions.com.au/html/non_linear_video_equipment.html)

They are generally for the full version but Neo is mostly identical.

there are many ways

you can drag the dissolve from effects palette to the point where the 2 clips touch

or you can park the curser where clips touch and press
Alt+1 for 1 sec transition
Alt+2 for 2 sec transition
Alt+3 for 3 sec transition

or yous the transition tool from the timeline toolbar

Thank you.

That helps a lot.
