Performing a Crossfade Only Cut
Performing a Cut with Crossfade when the Edit In and Edit Out Marks are in the same
place will generate an error message in the top line of the display,
“ * NOTHING TO CUT * ”
followed by
“APPLY CROSS FADE? (YES=ENTER, NO=EXIT)”
Pressing E NTER causes the material on either side of the Edit Marks to be crossfaded by
the amount of time set for the Crossfade Time. This process is effectively illustrated by
diagrams 2 and 3 above. The Run Time of the file is reduced by the Crossfade Duration.
Insert with Crossfade
Crossfades on Inserts can actually create two crossfades. One is between existing
material before the Edit In mark and the material at the head of the piece being inserted. The
other is between the tail of the piece being inserted and the material after the Edit Out mark. If
there is insufficient material in any of these regions the duration of the crossfade will be
limited. If the Edit In mark is at the Beginning of the file, no crossfade will be performed at the
head of the insert. If the Edit Out mark is at the end of the file no crossfade will be performed
at the tail of the insert.
