  • Change transparency (animate) contineously during clip

    Posted by Søren Sørensen on August 1, 2015 at 8:11 pm

    Dear CC-forum,

    I want to achieve a controlled fade of a video-clip.
    I did this a looong time ago – but have forgotten how it was accomplished and hence turn to this amazing forum.

    Clip.
    Animate transparency – say fx increase it from 0% to 90% linearly over 4 sec.

    If you have Vegas 12 or later you can use the Layer Dimensionality effect and keyframe the foreground opacity control.

    Otherwise you can use a track composite envelope and keyframe it around the the event in question.

    If all you want to do is take the start of a clip and bring it up from 0 to some level over a given time then just use a fade at the front of the clip. To put a fade in just grab the upper left corner of an event and drag it in the time you want. You can change the fade curve to your choice but the default is best, which is smooth and not technically linear.

    Mucho Gracias Norman!

    Excellent response.

    I have Vegas Pro 13 , so I am in luck and can use the layer dimensionality 😀

    But out of interest: Where do I locate the track composite envelope?

    Regards,
    Søren
