Cut with Crossfade
Crossfades on Cuts are performed using the material before the Edit In point and after the
Edit Out point. If there is not enough material on either side, the duration of the crossfade will
be automatically limited. If there is no material on one side or the other, (i.e. a top or tail trim)
no crossfade will be performed. In all cases, the material in the Clipboard (or Hotkey file) will
be the same regardless of whether crossfade is used.
The first diagram below shows a file that has the Edit Marks set in preparation for a Cut.
When a Cut is performed, the resulting file is represented by the second diagram. This is the
final result of a simple Cut operation. When Cut with Crossfade is used this is only an
intermediate step. The Crossfade process will result in the file represented by the third
diagram.
During the Crossfade time, the two parts of the file are actually overlapped. This results
in the total run time of the file being reduced by the crossfade time. Sometimes you may need
to decrease the amount of material to be removed to compensate for this if you are editing to
reach a specific run time.
