Fading Clips In and Out

Many programs start with a fade transition (fade-in) and end with one (fade-out). When you
fade, you are mixing two elements. One element is a video clip and the other is a
completely black frame, or in DaVinci Resolve, an empty part of the timeline.

Because you will be altering the video track in this lesson, you can modify the layout
again to suit your needs.

created layout.

You’ll also customize the timeline view to make the audio tracks smaller and the video
track larger.
