Fade in and Fade outs Corel Video X7

[Redstone]

Hi guys,

I am having trouble with applying this basic effect because:

- the FX display of all filters does not appear to include a fade in/out option.

- I have gone to Settings --> Preferences, and selected FX Cross fade to black, ticked 'automatically' add transition effect and pressed OK. But nothing appears to happen.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

If you want one video to fade out while the next fades in then surely the 'crossfade' is the best option - can you see the transition applied in the timeline - how long have you set them for, if you have only set 1 second it probably happens to fast for you to see - set it to 5 seconds or so.

If you want a complete fade out to black and then a fade from black back in again then the best way to do that is to put a black block in the timeline and put a crossfade each side of it.

Viewing the library there are two FX options
the one you see (FX) 6th icon down accesses the Video Filters
You need the transitions options, press the A/B icon, now the down arrow next to All will show the different options, one being FX, this contains the CrossFade transition.
Right click to make it a favourite.

Fade to Black is a different transition to Cross Fade

Overlap the clips and crossfade will be applied automatically.

Right click on the clip for fade in/fade out.

Overlapping the clips will automatically apply an AUDIO crossfade which is not what the question is about

Overlapping will also automatically apply a transition - but not necessarily a cross fade.

Fade out on a clip refers to the AUDIO - not the picture

That is not consistent with my experience. I can fade in or fade out audio or video.

It will because he already changed the preferences to default to crossfade.

Yes you can fade in Video and Audio.
But the commands assessed by right clicking the clip (Fade-in) (Fade Out) specifically apply to audio.
