Fading in and fading out are editing techniques used to smoothly adjust the volume at the beginning or end of an audio file. This feature creates smooth transitions, avoiding abrupt starts or stops, and controls how the audio elements blend with each other within your project.
How to use the fade tool:
Navigate to the Audio Editor and click on the clip that you want to fade in or out.
On the clip itself, look for the fade handles - the small white circles in the top-left and top-right corners.
Drag the handle at the beginning of the clip to create a fade-in, or drag the handle at the end of the clip to create a fade-out.
You can also select the clip, open the Audio settings from the menu on the right, and adjust the fade there using the Fader tool.
💥Tips & Tricks💥
Fading in is commonly used at the start of a track or audio clip to create a smooth transition from silence to sound. This can also help to gently introduce background or intro music or a voiceover.
Fading out is does the opposite, gradually reducing the audio volume from full to silence. Fading out is often used at the end of a track or clip to signal the end or to make the audio feel like it’s slowly disappearing. Fading out can make the end of a podcast or segment sound more natural or help transition smoothly to another section.
