Enable easier transitions for fade in/out, etc.

Hello friends. I noticed that Pitivi's ability to incorporate fade in/out's doesn't seem that user friendly. In order to add this capability, one must drag sliders across the individual picture to initiate a fade in or fade out type of transition. This is incredibly tedious, even for a handful of pictures. Consider my current project which will likely last me years (family movie that I started while dating, and will continue on with life events, such as anniversaries, kids, kids birthdays, kids graduation, etc), selecting each individual item to have a consistent 1.0 second or so fade in and out for each image is a headache.
Compare this to another project, namely OpenShot, where all you have to do is right click on the image and select fade in+out (fast), or fade in+out (slow). While OpenShot's functionality does not enable a "global" way to apply this functionality to each and every picture/video segment, it is exponentially easier to quickly right click - bam, right click - bam, as opposed to Pitivi's current implementation where you need to drag sliders (equally for consistency) for each and every picture/video segment. It is my hope that the above will be considered as a feature add-in.
Thank you for your time! :)
