Fade audio in or out
There are several ways to create fade-ins or fade-outs on the audio portion of a clip or an audio
component in Final Cut Pro:
•
Automatic crossfades during transitions: When you add a transition to a video clip with attached
audio, Final Cut Pro automatically applies a crossfade transition to the audio. If the audio is
detached or expanded from the video, the audio is not affected by the video transition. See
Add transitions to your project on page 214.
•
Crossfades: When trimming the audio waveform in clips, you can apply a crossfade to the edit
point. See
Trimming overview on page 122.
•
Fade handles: You can quickly create fade-ins and fade-outs on the audio portion of a clip or an
audio component in the Timeline by using fade handles, which appear in the top-left or top-
right corner of the audio waveform when you place the pointer over the clip.
