Crossfading with fade constrained overlaps
On the Edit view : Fade menu and amongst the crossfade icons, you can
find two items; “Automatic crossfading – fade-in constrained overlaps” and
“Automatic crossfading – fade-out constrained overlaps”. These items al-
low you to create crossfades and resize clips simultaneously. The length of
a defined fade-in or fade-out will constrain the maximum length of the over-
lap (and hence the crossfade) to the set fade length. If you continue drag-
ging a clip past this point, the clip that does not have the chosen fade type
in the overlap will be resized.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select “Automatic crossfading – fade-in constrained overlaps” on the
Fade menu (or by clicking on the middle crossfade icon).
2. Create a fade-in curve in a clip on a track containing several clips.
3. Drag the clip to the left so that it overlaps another clip, past the right clip
edge.
A crossfade is created in the overlap.
Dragging the right clip over the left clip edge will create a crossfade.
4. Continue dragging the clip, so that the dragged clip’s fade-in point over-
laps the left clip’s right edge.
The right edge of the left clip will be progressively adjusted as you drag the clip further to
the left, making the clip shorter. The crossfade region remains the same length.
If you continue dragging to the left, the left clip will become shorter.
5. Drag the clip to the right again.
The resized clip is gradually uncovered. The original clip length is memorized, so you can al-
ways restore resized clips later.
