  • Fading Out a song using Center on Cut???? How?

    Posted by Adam Berch on March 16, 2013 at 7:01 pm

    I am in the process of switching from FCP7 to Premiere Pro CS 6.

    Here is my question:

    I put a song down on the PPro CS 6 timeline and I cut it off in the middle before the solo. I want to put a 1 second Audio Fade (not using keyframes) at the end of it and I want to have it “Centered on Edit.” I can do this easily in Final Cut, but PPro is only letting me do “End of Cut.”

    How can I Center on Cut at the end of a song?

    Thanks in advance

    So as I understand it, you know when the song ends but you want to have the fade start or center around this end point? You’re trying to extend the fade beyond the cut’s edge?

    Not possible, best thing to do is extend your cut to when you want it to be completely silent, then add the audio fade and adjust the fades length to suit your taste.

    Alternately, you could create an offline file in your bin that is just audio, then butt it up to the end of your song so the fade has something to center on. It’s the audio equivalent of a black video slug.

    If I understand you right, you want to have half a second audio fade to 50% volume before the cut?
