Creating Crossfades Between Audio Clips
Crossfades let you create smooth transitions between one audio clip and the next and
avoid clicks or sudden changes in loudness that can result when placing audio files one
after another.
One of the ways to create a crossfade between audio clips is to use the Timeslice tool to
select a timeslice, then use the crossfade command. Another way is to set the project to
crossfade mode, then drag an audio clip so that it overlaps another clip. A crossfade is
created for the length of the overlapped area.
To use the crossfade command
1 Choose the Timeslice tool (or press W).
