I don’t know if there is a script like this out there but I couldn’t find one. I’m doing a picture montage where I have images fading in and out in different quadrants of the screen. I used track motion on 4 different tracks to set up where I want the images but then found it a pain to have to go adjust all the event edges for a 1 sec fade in and 1 sec fade out so I wrote this script to do it. I put in on a button on the toolbar and now I just drop an event on the track, press the fade-in/out button and my images have a 1 second fade on both ends. It’s a trivial script but its handy and quick for this common task. It also works for audio events.
