simple way to make an audio only crossfade?
I have read a few threads about this and there is apparently no way to a simple very short audio only transition to say get rid of a slight pop without detaching audio, etc. Has anyone created a transition that can be added to FCPX that could accomplish this by simply dragging it between two audio clips? The old FInal Cut had audio transitions which you could just drag into place like a +3 dB cross fade (the default) and a 0 dB cross fade.

You don’t need to detach the audio. You can simply double click it to expand it to create a quick audio fade using the fade handles. Alex Gollner at alex4d has a free audio cross fade.
All the best,

I know you want something “drag and drop” and others have explained that.
However it’s also useful to understand that in X, every audio clip has a built in fade handle at the beginning and end of every audio clip by default.
Just point your selection tool to the place where the audio level line hits the beginning or end of any clip, click and drag “into” the clip and you’ll get an instant fade slope.
One of thousands of super fast shortcuts built into X.
FWIW.

It’s worth pointing out that this concept of fade handles was borrowed from Soundtrack Pro. Except in STP, when you perform the same function, an audio crossfade (dissolve) is automatically created when the two clips butt up against each other.

I forgot about that, time to submit a feature request!

No audio handle in a multicam clip. You don’t have a simple solution for this do you?

If you right click on the video clip and select detach audio, you can then just apply the cross dissolve transition to the audio clip. That should work.
