OK, I give. How do you do simple video fade ins and outs?

I am testing V9 and like what I see so far except one thing. On other editors, this is a gimmie but I cannot find it on V9. I simply want to start with black and fade in to my video. I also want to fade out to black sometimes as well. I found a third party plug-in to fade out to black. What gives? This is simple stuff. I cannot find anything in the program that allows me to fade to anything except titles.

Insert a patch of solid color before the video, then use the Crossfade transition between it and your video.

I don't have a choice of a crossfade transition in V9.

It's under Transitions > F/X.

The X-Fade is in the F/X transition library

Thanks for the replies. I knew it had to be there somewhere but just could not find it. I know where it is now. Thanks again.

Actually, I bought V8 about five months ago and it bombed on me left and right so I downloaded V9 as a trial to see if it was stable. So far, it is.

Can't find it anywhere, even in downloads?
Is there any way to fade IN to a clip or project?

As per above. place a black colour clip before the video and use the crossfade found in the fx transitions

Doesn't the fade to black transition fade to black then fade up the next clip? I am 99% sure I used this and discovered (in VS9) that there is no need to insert black and use 2 crossfades.

What version of VS are you using.
V8 trial did not have the X-Fade

Using VS 9 and 8 i see 20 transitions in the F/X library.

Although we refer to add a black colour clip, you can use any colour.
Whereas the fade to black is just that, black.

X-Fade doesn't seem available in VS7.

You should find it in the same location.
Transitions F/X library

OK, so if you want to fade to something other than black, then fade into the next clip, you use 2 crossfades surrounding an inserted color-clip of the desired color. If you want fade to black then fade into next clip, you use 1 fade to black transition between clips. 1 transition instead of 2, and no inserted color clip.

The Full version of UVS 7 has it, but SE versions may not. I recommend you download the Burger Transitions, they include a Crossfade transition.
