Would you like to fade in or fade out your audio from a specific clip?
Easy to do.
Drag - don't drop - all within Final Cut. Let's check it out.
Using fade-ins, we can transform what would ordinarily be a
jarring start to our audio -
-to a welcoming entrance.
Let's get started. The first way is to use menu commands.
Select the clip, then navigate to the top menu and choose Modify, Adjust Volume and
Apply Fades. Fades will appear at the beginning and
end of the clip.
We can also choose Apply Toggle Fade-In which will add a fade in at the
beginning of the clip only, or apply toggle fade-out which applies the fade
at the end of the clip only. To adjust the duration of the fade, we can drag the
fade handles on the clip in the timeline.
If necessary, we can remove fades from a clip. Select the clip, navigate to the top
menu, and choose Modify Adjust Volume and Remove Fades.
Now, we'll show a faster way to apply fades. Hover the cursor over the audio
waveform - specifically over this tiny icon. Drag the icon and we'll see this
fade-in handle appear.
Let's kick it up a notch, shall we?
Next we're going to demonstrate crossfades. To create a crossfade, drag
the endpoint of one audio clip over the beginning of another.
Then, adjust the fade handles so that the first clip's audio fades perfectly into
the second one. Here's what it sounds like.
We can also change the fade shape when using fade handles. Hold Ctrl and click on the fade
handle. Then, choose one of these options. Linear will maintain a constant rate of
change over the length of the fade.
S-curve will ease in and out of the fade.
+3 decibels will start quickly and then slowly taper off towards the
end for a quick fade.
And -3 decibels will start slowly, then move quickly towards the end.
This is the best option when utilizing crossfades.
Whether you're working with music or sound effects, it's important to
understand how fading in and fading out your sounds can improve your project.
