Fade In and Out to Playhead
A pair of commands in the Trim menu let you move the playhead over a clip, and use the
playhead position to “Fade In to Playhead” or “Fade Out to Playhead.” These commands work
in both the Edit and Fairlight pages.

Creating Crossfades With Overlapping Fades
While a fade gradually fades a single track of audio up or down, a crossfade fades two
overlapping clips at the same time, fading one clip up and another clip down, for the aural
equivalent of a cross dissolve. There are currently two ways of creating a crossfade in the
Fairlight page. Both depend on clip layering to allow you to have overlapping fades over
overlapping clips.
To create a crossfade by overlapping two clips together:
1 Add a fade out to the end of one clip, and a fade in to the beginning of another clip.
By default, all fades you add in this way are linear, although you can adjust them to
whatever gain you want.
Adding fades to adjacent clips
2 Drag the first clip to overlap the second clip by the length of the fade you’ve created.
Dragging the clips to overlap, the overlapping
parts will be preserved via clip layering
