I would like to break up a video with a fade to white and 3 seconds of a white screen. So 1. how to fade to white? 2. How to add 3 secs of a white frame. Or can you point to a tutorial which covers this because I can't find it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Click the Media Generator tab and select Solid Color. Drag the White onto the video track after your video. Move it left so the beginning of the white clip overlaps the end of your video until you have the correct length of fade you require. Now extend or retract the end of the white clip so you have 3 seconds after the end of the fade. If you need to fade into another piece of video, place that video onto the video track after the white clip and pull it so it overlaps the end of the white by the amount of fade required. You will need to adjust the length of the white clip so the 3 seconds between fades is maintained.

To add to what Jack S said: If you need to fade from layered video elements on multiple tracks cleanly into white, add a video track above the tracks that make up your layered elements. Then place the generated white media on this higher track. Add a fade in and fade out on this higher track white event to cover and reveal the elements below it as needed.
