Hi,
I've recently switched from Lightworks to Video Studio so I feel like I'm trying to learn a new language here. One thing that's got me stuck Is I can't seem to change the length of the fade to black transition. I can drag the effect to change it's length in the timeline but that seems to have no effect on the actual length of the fade, it only changes the starting point.

Re: Extending a Fade to Black transition
What is the time length of the video/photo on either side of the transition? They obviously have to longer then the transition duration.
Did you double-click the transition to bring up the "transition editor"?

Re: Extending a Fade to Black transition
Welcome to VideoStudio and to the forums, 
A transition uses part of both clips. For example if your transition duration is 2 secs, it will use 1 sec from each clip, to make up the 2 second transition. Now for the Fade to Black, if there is no adjoining clip, then the only way to extend or lengthen the duration is using more of the clip you applied it to the end of. If you add another clip after (to the right) of a Fade to Black, it then becomes a Cross-Fade.
