Adding a Crossfade Between Two Clips
A crossfade creates a smooth, even transition between two overlapping audio clips by
blending the crossfaded area together. Crossfades are often used to reduce the sudden
changes in loudness that can result between clips.
After you apply a crossfade to two clips, you can adjust the crossfade’s length, position,
and curve.
To add a crossfade between two audio clips:
1 Verify that the Crossfade Mode button in the Timeline is selected.
2 Drag the first clip over the second clip. The more you overlap the clips, the longer the
crossfade will be.
The crossfade appears on top of the clips.
Here are a few more ways to work with crossfades.
