crossfade transition is applied to the audio.
Add an automatic audio crossfade
When a video clip has attached audio, the audio automatically has a crossfade transition applied
when a video transition is applied. If the audio is detached or expanded from the video, the
audio is not affected by the video transition. Follow these steps to add an audio crossfade
between detached audio clips that are in a connected storyline.

For information on creating storylines, see
on page 277.
2
Using the Select tool, click the edge of a clip (an edit point) in the storyline.
One or both clip edges are highlighted.
Note: If you select a whole clip in the storyline instead of just an edit point, transitions are added
at each end of the selected clip.

The crossfade is inserted using the “Apply transitions using” setting. For more information, see
