Maddrummer sounds like a smart guy.

How true, however you forget to add the time needed to switch from the video library to the color clip library and back.

"Adjusting" the filter is nothing more than dragging the cursor left (1/2 sec), the end keyframe is already at 0 and is not touched.
With the added benefit (not in the original specs) to be able to vary the speed of the effect and/or its color with additional keyframes.

To each his own. I begin to feel like a martian, always having selected my "most evident" method, that nobody else use.

Same for switching to the Video Filter library and back.

I was imagining myself in a situation where this type of editing happens when you already have the filters library active, not while adding material.

But why oh why do you all insist on doing the most unnatural and intricated moves?

Need a darker clip? Insert a color background and then cross-link them. You come up with that? That's your idea of easy?
I spontaneously play with the darkness settings..

It's for everything, I read people suggesting a slight blur to improve noisy clips. While there IS a noise filter, with unsharp mask.
I read a suggestion to increasing the audio fade length with the preference setting, why not just move the little marker on the audio view?
I see people using the pan/zoom (slow) function to slightly enlarge a picture on a static base, why not with Distort?

I guess Ulead should begin to remove all methods except one for doing each thing. Then at least I would do it just like ye'all

Wait, maybe that makes me unique? Number one in my class?

I never said that, nor have I heard of doing that.

Honestly, what could be easier than dropping a crossfade between 2 clips?

Maybe you are a martian?:mrgreen:

't was supposed to be a pastiche of :
need a fade from black? insert a black color clip and crossfade.
When I think of fading, or darkening a clip, my mind is set on light variation, not on a combination of an effect and a black screen. Never mind, Friday evening...

I was about to post a question about this. Perhaps you can explain a bit more.
I assume we need to separate the audio to its own track for this?
Does the slider method allow us to set the time-span for the fade-in
and fade-out effects individually?
If so, that would be brilliant.
(Gonna test it immediately after my current edit )

You can control the audio fades a couple of ways. The simplest is to use the fade in/out buttons on the Video Tab. The length of the fade is set in Preferences>Edit Tab.

The other way to do it is in Audio View. Above the timeline are a row of icons. The third from the left (speaker) is the Audio View. Click on that and the wave form of your audio appears. The red line in the middle of the clip is the default volume. You can adjust that by clicking on the line at certain points to insert key frames. You can then drag the line up or down to increase or decrease the volume. This is the more difficult way to do it, but you also have more flexibility.

I assume we need to separate the audio to its own track for this?

No that is not necessary.

I'm not sure what the "slider method" is.

Hartelijk dank!
Thanks a lot for explaining that.
