  Does the issue occur in the encoded video or just during preview? How does it look when you go frame by frame through the sequence? What technique are you using to create the fade? Please post a screen capture of your timeline and the Effect Controls panel.

  Thanks for the post. I have tried several methods but my usual way is what is shown. That is, simple keyframes in the timeline so I can sync with the music, then fine tune in effects panel. Frame by frame is still a speedy fade in. Trying to do a long slow one – all I get is one second no matter what I try. I have tried rendering, saving and restarting – no change…
  I have never uploaded a screen shot…hope this works

  Thanks for posting the screen shot. Opacity keyframes are my preferred method, too. It’s not clear whether there is a “real” issue on the timeline, or just a synch issue during playback. Is the text appearing at 100% opacity before the playhead gets to the keyframe when jogging each frame individually (i.e. not during playback)?

  yes. 100% opacity @ 34 frames. 100 % Key frame is a full 8sec in.

  Ease Out and Ease In bezier handles work well for me. Use ease out on the first keyframe. Set the very last keyframe to ease in.

  [susan basham] “yes. 100% opacity @ 34 frames. 100 % Key frame is a full 8sec in.”

  That’s strange, and hard to troubleshoot. Other than trying different types of keyframes, as Kuhnen suggested, my recommendations could be hit or miss:

  – close the project, clean the media cache, and reopen
  – drag another copy of the title from the Project panel onto the timeline; add keyframes and check whether the issue recurs
  – animate a sample video clip with the same fade; if all is OK, undo the fade, copy the title with the problem fade, paste attributes onto the video clip, and check if the issue recurs; if all is still OK, repeat with a different title object
  – if there are there other titles or clips layered on the timeline over/under the problem title, try turning off all other tracks to see if the issue persists

  Thanks for the help. I removed the black video (a hold out from final cut slug) under text and viola.
