524 EDIT MENU

The crossfade editor is opened by clicking the toolbar button or via menu "Edit ->

Crossfade editor". You can also use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + F".

Use the crossfade editor to conveniently and efficiently edit all aspects of a crossfade. All

changes are non-destructive and can be undone.

Crossfading with the crossfade editor

In the VIP, select the objects which you wish to fade into and open the crossfade editor.

The following editing options are available for selection:

Crossfade length: The length of the crossfade may be set in different sized steps. Clicking

the "+" / "-" buttons increases/decreases the length in small steps, the "++" / "--" buttons

in larger steps. Use the "-?+" button to customize these step effects as needed. The

crossfade length can also be defined by a selected range in the VIP by clicking on the "Get

range length" button in the "Range" menu. This range has to be selected before opening

the crossfade editor.

Fade in/fade out: There are plenty of different curve types available for selection for the

crossfade:

 Linear (0)
