Fade In / Fade Out

RickB wrote on 4/4/2005, 6:16 PM

I'm sure that I must be missing something obvious because the fade in from black and fade out to black between scenes is the most common transition there is.
Unfortunately, I can't find any mention of it in the tutorials or on the transitions screen.
Please tell me how to do this.

Hold the mouse pointer over the top left corner of the clip on timeline and it will change into a quarter-circle icon with a horizontal double-headed arrow. Hold down the left mouse button and drag to the right. This will create a fade-in at the beginning of the clip. Do the same thing at the end of the clip, but dragging to the left, to create a fade-out.

Hi,
Does this procedure still apply for fade in and out with white?
As a recent Pinnacle 9 convert, I'm a new Vegas user so I find your advice very helpful.
Thanks,
Phong

White will be slightly different. You can only automatically fade to black. However, you can crossfade to another clip. Under Text & Backdrops / Solid Color, you can choose white and drag it to the timeline. Overlap this "white" event with the end of the video clip and it will then crossfade to/from white, or whatever other color you may choose.
