Batch Fade In and Out
I am in the process of editing about 40 – 50 hours of home VHS video and converting it to DVD for Christmas. Right now I have all the clips in .mpg format which I ripped strait from the DVD. I could go through one by one in premiere and add fades, but does anyone know of a way where I could ask After Effects to add a 2 second audio and video fade in and fade out to about 100 video files.
Anyone got any idea, I would really appreciate any insight?

Well I would put all the layers in the begginin’ of the comp.
Hit CTRL+A to select all.
Hit ALT+SHIFT+T to add a opacity keyframe. Hold ALT+SHIFT and hit the right arrow key 6 times to move those KFs 2 seconds ahead. Set another keyframe at the beggining, this time changing it´s value to 0%.
Then go to the end of the layers. Hit ALT+SHIFT+T to add a opacity keyframe. Hold ALT+SHIFT and hit the left key arrow 6 times to move those KFs 2 seconds back. Again set another keyframe at end, this time changing it´s value to 0%.
Then right click any layer and chose keyframe assistent>sequence layers
Then chose the right ovelap value.It´s the easyest way I can think of and I do it all the time. If the clips are of different lenghts you can go to the last one and hit CTRL+A then ] to align them all at the end before setting the out opacity values. Then back to the beggining and hitting [.
Act like a robot and it all will come out nicelly.
Hope I was of some help.
Cheers.

Something came to my mind after I hit post.
You can simply select all and go keyframe assistent>sequence layers and on the dialog box where it says transition chose dissolve front layer.
Some adjustments and you´re good to go.
Easier that way ain´t it?
Did it work?
Cheers.

I’ve found presets that I like but I’m having a tough time saving one to automatically fade out at the last 7 frames of any given assigned clip.
I tried saving it from the time line but it just fades in to white in the beginning. I only want it at the end.

I was able to add Easy Ease Out and save that as a preset but how do I automatically add this to the last 7 frames to any given clip?
