Adding a Crossfade Between Two Clips

A crossfade creates a smooth, even transition between two overlapping audio clips by blending the crossfaded area together. Crossfades are often used to reduce the sudden changes in loudness that can result between clips.

After you apply a crossfade to two clips, you can adjust the crossfade’s length, position, and curve.

To add a crossfade between two audio clips:

1Verify that the Crossfade Mode button in the Timeline is selected.

2Drag the first clip over the second clip. The more you overlap the clips, the longer the crossfade will be.
