Overlay Fade-in

Anyone know a way to adjust the length of time an overlay takes to fade in?

Thanks,
Ron

You have your image or whatever in the overlay track. To the left of the preview screen, your have controls which allow you click on Fade In and Fade Out, and choose the direction. Click on those. Then directly below the preview screen and just above the screen controls, there is a bar with two small black triangles which will probably be bracketing a blue line roughly in the middle of the overlay image, which is the default period the image will be fully on screen. Hover your mouse over one of these triangles and it should say 'Pause duration'. In other words, pull these triangles left and/or right to adjust the pause between the fade in and out.

Thanks Ken! I just gave the same advice for a problem someone else had recently (for a different effect) and I didn't think to look there. Doh!
