Fade audio in or out
There are several ways to create fade-ins or fade-outs to the audio portion of clips in
Final Cut Pro:
 Automatic crossfades during transitions: When you add a transition to a video clip
with attached audio, Final Cut Pro automatically applies a crossfade transition to the
audio. If the audio is detached or expanded from the video, the audio is not aected
by the video transition. See “Add transitions to your project” on page 221.
 Crossfades: When trimming the audio waveform in clips, you can apply a crossfade
to the edit point. See “Trimming overview” on page 134.
 Fade handles: You can quickly create fade-ins and fade-outs to the audio portion
of clips in the Timeline by using fade handles, which appear when you place the
pointer over the top-left or top-right corner of the audio waveform.

You can also change the fade’s shape by choosing one of several predened
options. Changing the fade shape changes the sound of the fade.
Note: Fades created using fade handles override crossfades created by a transition.
