Is there a way to adjust the shape of a line between two animation points so I can have a smoother fade in/fade out?

Actually, it works exactly the same way. You can create keyframes and then right-click a segment between them and choose your easing method. Or you can apply a dissolve transition and adjust it’s easing in the inspector. The only things it won’t work on are fade handles.

For audio fades, right click on the fade handle itself and you can choose a shape. For opacity fades, open the video animation on the clip and instead of using the built in fade handle, create your own with two key frames and then you can create others on the line or select a shape by control clicking. Or select ease by command clicking on the line.

Andy didn’t we used to be able to change the shape on the fade handle?

Thanks that’s exactly what I needed, I was about to repost that I was trying to do it on an audio file.
