Allow Vertical Fade Adjustments Enables you to adjust fade curves. Disable this option if you’re inadvertently
adjusting these curves when attempting to perform other tasks, such as editing volume or pan envelopes.
Automatically Crossfade Crossfades overlapping clips. Deselect this option if automatic crossfades are undesirable
or interfere with other tasks, such as trimming clips.
Crossfade clips in separate tracks
When you crossfade clips in separate tracks, you select a range that determines the transition region. To create a
smooth transition, select a range that starts before the end of the first clip and extends beyond the beginning of the
second clip.
Selecting range and two clips, and applying linear crossfade
1 Place two clips in separate tracks.
2 Position the clips so the end point of the first overlaps the start point of the second.
3 Across the overlapping area, select a range for the crossfade.
To precisely place the start and end points for the crossfade at clip start and end points, choose Edit > Snapping >
Snap To Clips.
4 Ctrl-click both clips.
5 Choose Clip > Fade Envelope Across Selection, and then choose one of the following:
Linear Produces an even crossfade.
Sinusoidal Produces a crossfade with a curved, sine-like slope.
Logarithmic In Fades in logarithmically, producing a steeper slope at the end of the fade.
Logarithmic Out Fades out logarithmically, producing a steeper slope at the beginning of the fade.
The resulting fade curves are volume envelopes, which you can edit. (See “Edit automation envelopes” on page 207.)
