Creating Fades and Crossfades in the Timeline

One of the most common tasks of a sound editor is adding fade-ins and fade-outs to
individual clips and crossfades between clips to smooth the overall sound of a video or
motion picture soundtrack.

Creating Fade-Ins and Fade-Outs in the Timeline

Soundtrack Pro lets you easily add fades and crossfades and adjust the fade type
directly in the multitrack Timeline.

To create a fade-in or fade-out on a clip in the Timeline:

1

Move the pointer Over the top-left edge of the clip (for a fade-in) or top-right edge of
the clip (for a fade-out).

The pointer becomes a fade pointer.

2

Drag from the corner toward the center of the clip.

A fade is superimposed over the clip.

3

Drag the edge of the fade left or right to adjust the fade duration.
