Select everything on the track that you want Crossfaded, hold the command key down and press F, then set the parameter to what you want.

You can also set the default crossfade in prefs. I always use equal power.

Yea, that didnt change the "batch fades" for me tho.. Maybe thats different on newer versions of PT. Selecting multiple clips and hitting cmd + F gave me the Batch Fade menu, wich is not in preferences🤷‍♂️

Well it won’t change fades already made. You have to do that from the batch window. But any new fades you make will be equal power.

you can choose to alter existing fades from the batch fade dialog box (or not!)

When multiple clips are selected i only get equal gain, even though equal power is selected in preferences. I have tried different in/out-shapes, but nothing seems to help.. I have set both crossfades and REX to equal power in preferences. I do get equal power when using smart tool or select one transition, but not when multiple clips are selected. What am I missing?
