Creating Fade-Ins and Fade-Outs in the Timeline
Soundtrack Pro lets you easily add fades and crossfades and adjust the fade type directly
in the multitrack Timeline.
To create a fade-in or fade-out on a clip in the Timeline
1 Move the pointer Over the top-left edge of the clip (for a fade-in) or top-right edge of
the clip (for a fade-out).
The pointer becomes a fade pointer.
2 Drag from the corner toward the center of the clip.
A fade is superimposed over the clip.
3 Drag the edge of the fade left or right to adjust the fade duration.
