I too wanted a solution to the 'light switch' effect when a special effect is used just as shawn mentioned above. Doing a search for this brought me to this thread.

A work around solution may well work but in today's environment one might reasonably expect the actual effect itself to have that capability built in to it from the beginning. Surely the writers of the software would be aware that a smooth transition from no effect to various degrees of that effect is an essential requirement. It takes long enough creating the video itself without taking more time messing around trying to correct/fix another oversight.

Let us not settle for second best or near enough is good enough.

Being a newbie to all of this I thought I might be unaware of how to adjust the settings for the beginning of an effect. Alas I now know that is not the case.

This also continues as one may want to have several effects continuously happening along the timeline. At each change the change is clearly and painfully noticeable. It tends to make the videomaker look less than competent or clumsy. One way around that is to try and have the effect change take place at the same time as a transition but that is not always convenient.

Any chance this fade in to the effect can be included in an upgrade?

CLD, How did you go with - "I will actually pass along this information to RD, because I think that users should have more flexibility."?

Your suggestion may be ok for some but many will not see splitting the clip again as the way to go. On top of that I don't understand the rest of the instructions/suggestion.
Let's get the effect to be able to fade in as a standard part of its funtionality as it should have been in the first place. Let's not settle for 1 is what you get when 0 is what is required.

Let us aim for what is best - not what is not even second best!

Phil.
