Audio Fade Handles can also be adjusted in subframe increments, if necessary, to
create a precise transition.

Once you’ve created a fade effect, you can adjust the curve of the fade by dragging
the handle that appears right on top of the fader curve. Dragging the handle up and
down affects the angle of the curve, and dragging the handle left and right affects the
shape of the curve. In this way, you can create all manner of fade effects.

Fade effects can be created and edited on both the Edit and Fairlight pages.
Audio Crossfades
When you select an edit point with both video and audio components, and Linked Selection is
enabled so that both the video and audio edit points are selected, then when you apply a video
transition to an edit, a crossfade is added to the audio.
You can add Cross Fade transitions to any edit point between two audio clips that have enough
handles similarly to how you add video transitions, by dragging and dropping from the Effects
Library, by right-clicking an edit and choosing an option from the contextual menu, or by
selecting an audio edit point and choosing Timeline > Add Audio Only Transition (Shift-T).
Cross Fade transitions are a quick and easy way to fade the volume of the outgoing clip down
while simultaneously fading the volume of the incoming clip up, letting you create a smooth
aural transition between two audio clips. If you need to do precision editing, the start and end
points of a crossfade can be edited in sub-frame increments.
