curves along with superimposed views of the fade-
in and fade-out waveforms.
Fade Curves and Summed Waveform
Click this button to display the specified fade
curves along with a single waveform representing
the summation of the any crossfaded audio.
Zoom In
Click this button to scale the view of the wave-
form’s amplitude upwards. Control-click (Win-
dows) or Command-click (Mac) for the default
view scale.
Zoom Out
Click this button to scale the view of the wave-
form’s amplitude downwards. Control-click (Win-
dows) or Command-click (Mac) for the default
view scale.
Fade-Out Shape Settings
The Out Shape setting lets you define the shape of
the fade-out from a clip for a fade, or from clip 1
for a crossfade.
Standard Selects a single continuous fade curve.
This creates a general-purpose fade that can be ed-
ited by dragging the curve itself.
S-Curve Selects an S-shaped curve, which inverts
its beginning and end characteristics. This makes it
possible to fade out faster at the curve’s start and
slower at its end, for example. S-shaped curves can
be useful with material that is difficult to crossfade
effectively. S-curves can be edited by dragging the
curve in the curve editor.
