FADES AND CROSSFADES
635
To edit multiple fades together in one operation,
select the soundbites that contain the fades, and
then grab the fade handle of one of the selected
soundbites:
Figure 50-5: Editing multiple fades in one operation.
For example, if you needed to make all fades in a
track a little longer, you can select all soundbites
and then grab one fade to change them all.
Applying a fade/crossfade to a selection
To apply a single fade or cross fade to a selection:
1 In the Sequence Editor, make a selection over a
splice point (the soundbite boundary that defines
the fade or crossfade you wish to create).
You can use your selection to define the length of
the crossfade, or you can create a fixed-length fade
that is different from your selection.

a fade.
2 Choose Fade from the Audio menu to open the
Create Fades dialog, as shown in Figure 50-1.
3 Set the fade-out and fade-in curves as desired.
These curves are explained later in the chapter.
4 To create a fade over the exact length of your
original selection, choose the Fade selected time
ranges option from the menu at the bottom of the
dialog. To create a fade of a specific length, choose
Create fixed-length fades and then enter the desired
length for the fade (in milliseconds) in the before
splice and after splice text boxes.
5 Click OK to apply the fade.
