If I try to crossfade a Smart Sound track over the existing audio dialog on a video track, the dialog drops out for about 3 seconds. Why is this happening and how do I correct it? Thanks!

Hi Ron -

Yes - that quite often happens at the start or end of a SmartSound track.

The way round it is to produce the SS clip to an audio only file before trying to do fades or other fancy stuff. I usually prepare mine using SonicFire Pro, so it comes into PDR in .WAV format. No issues with that.

Cheers - Tony
