• To move only the starting point of the fade-in, drag below the horizontal blue line.
• To delete a fade-in from an audio clip, simply drag the triangular fade handle to the front
edge of the clip.
The filled blue triangle at the top of the clip handle indicates that dragging the top edge of the clip
handle will move the fade along with the crop. The filled blue rectangle at the bottom of the clip
handle indicates that dragging the bottom of the clip handle will slip edit the edge, but leave the
end of the fade-in where it is.
