    I am trying to add a crossfade between two different video sections. Simple yes but for some reason when i try and add the fade in/ fade out effect it only goes to one section. And then when i try and increase the length it doesn’t let me. The default length of the fade is 00:00:00:03 or 00:00:00:02. It is probably something very simple that I am missing.

    It sounds like the length of your media doesn’t allow for the crossfade to bridge the two clips. You’ll need a bit of pad to cover the fade between the two clips. Look at the clip that the fade won’t cover and make sure there is enough head (or tail) to cover the length of the crossfade. The transition needs enough media on each clip to compensate the overlap of the fade.

    Hi Josh&Josh,
    The Fade In-Fade OUT transition is to fade to black or fade from black.
    You just put it in the end or in the beginning of a clip.

    Thanks Rafael, absolutely right. Sometimes I read too fast. Got stuck on the crossfade.

    whoops!
