Quote: Is it possible to fade in or out so that you see the actual video rather then fading to black?

I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to.
Thanks once again.

There are two methods that I use regularly.

1. I have my preferences for transitions set to 'Overlap'. This gives a view of each of the clips as the transition progresses. I use the 'Fade' transtion for simple fades that do not require specific timing.

2. For fades that require specific timing I do not use a transition. I place the clips on different tracks, set the fade in and out, then move the clips and keyframes to the timing that I want. This gives more control over the transition from one clip to the next and I can time the fade to get the desired look.

GREAT Hal very much appreciate it. It's always easy once you know how. (grin)
Thanks

Hmm
I tried what Hal is suggesting but on playback it still is dark.
I like to fade as transparent so you can actually see the other video fading in or out.

Here is a snapshot on my setting.

It's like Halcon said, see the image

boots471,

To use the fade the way you are attempting in your screeshot, you have to have the clips on two different tracks. then overlap the ends of the two clips.

I am not at home right now to give you a screeshot of what it looks like. If you are still having trouble when I get home I will post a screenshot.

edit: I see playsound has given the screen shot. The only difference in my use is I use 'Overlap' rather than 'Cross' fade as my choice for option 1.

Sorry I don't understand and it is very easy I guess?
This snapshot here... the videos are on top track and the picture in the lower.
When I drag it up it ask to insert or overwrite. I don't want either.

How to make the picture fade in?

Sorry if I don't explain to good my English is not that good. Maybe someone can tell me in German?
Thanks

Yes, it is very simple.
1. Mark your picture in timeline (as shown on your snapshot)
2. choose Keyframe box (above timeline)
3. choose opacity function and set it to 0 at the beginning of your picture
4. move the slider a little bit to the right (1 second for instance) and set opacity to 100
5. exit keyframe settings
