Audio transitions
Transition effects are primarily for video. The audio from the two tracks,
by default, is simply mixed together. In many cases, you may also want the
volume of the audio from one track to smoothly drop while the audio from
the track you are transitioning to gradually increase.
To perform an audio cross-fade between clips:
1. Click the Audio Cross-Fade button.
2. Click the audio portion of one of two overlapping clips.
3. Click the audio portion of the other clip.
When you click the second clip, the audio levels are automatically faded in
and out on both clips.
After clicking the audio Cross-
fade button, click one of the two
overlapping audio clips.
You can also use this technique in a more general way across all of the
overlapping clips in your project. After you've finished all your editing in
your project, follow the procedure below to crossfade the audio across two
entire tracks.
