I am new to VS. In Pinnacle Studio the transitions are used for both video clips and titles. It is easy to let a title fade in, stay on the screen, and then fade out again. In VS 10+ I can not find this posible. The animation let the title pop up, and fade out, or it fades in and pops out. Is there a secret I have not found? Thanks for help!

Can a title fade in, stay, and then fade out?

Welcome to the forums Harry,
Yes you can do that. It is called a cross-fade. With your title highlighted in the preview window, click on the Animation tab. Then check the box where it says Apply Animation. Now in the box Type: click on the drop-down arrow, and choose Fade. Now the TT to the right, click on them. A dialog window will pop-up where you can customize the Fade transition. Select cross-fade. You can set the Unit for Text, Character, Line, or Word. Then the bottom drop-down Pause set to User Defined.
Now under the preview window, the blue bars are known as Pause/Duration. Sliding the arrows (the mark-in/mark-out) above the pause/duration bar, will adjust the duration of the effect, and the Pause (duration the title is fully visible). If you slide the arrows closer to the left and right edges the fade-in/fade-out will be faster, with the title remaining on screen for a longer time without any fadiing. If you slide them toward the center, the title will fade in slow, be on screen for a short time before fading out..

Thanks a lot, Videoman! I left home for a few days after posting my question. Yesterday I came home to a PC with trouble... I had to format the harddisk and reinstall everything. I have not yet installed VS so I have not tried your recipe. It looks very simple, and I look forvard to make the crossfades. Again thank you!!

Hi Harry
To add to Rons advice.
You could use two or more identical titles, using different animation.
Make your first title, Using an animation , end on screen.
Drag the title to the library, this makes a copy, text in same position
Drag the title to the timeline, adjacent to the first.
Change the animation to a different type.
Some animations may not work but many do.
Regards
Trevor
