Create an audio crossfade using the Modify menu
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select two or more adjacent audio clips or video clips with
audio.
2. Choose Modify > Adjust Audio Fades > Crossfade (or press Option-T).
Final Cut Pro creates the crossfade at the edit point between the selected clips using
media handles. If one or both of the clips do not have enough extra content (media
handles) to support a crossfade of the default duration, you’re given the option to
overlap media in your project to create the crossfade. See How transitions are created
in Final Cut Pro.
Note: You can set the default crossfade duration in Final Cut Pro preferences. See
Editing preferences in Final Cut Pro.
For information about applying crossfades to connected clips, see the following
instructions.
