With the update, I cant seem to find the simple menu item that enabled fade in and out on individual video clips in the timeline. Previously, one right clicked on the video in the timeline>edit video>enable fade in and out.

That selection is no longer there. Has it been removed or relocated?

Obviously, I can manually fade in and fade out - but it involves more steps.

Anyone know?

Thaanks!

Another way is to double click the clip in the timeline and use the Fade feature there.

Perfect - I didn't think that would work (when I first looked at the photo) - as I saw the PiP heading. But Boom - works perfectly - Thanks for the tip!

It would be handy if this option would also fades in/out the audio of that video clip. This has now to be done manually.

Another option, which I prefer, is to use the Video Fade transistion together with the Audio transition Constant Grain or Constant Power at the start/end of the clip. When you add those transistions to your favorites, applying them goes faster than the other fade options. Recware: DJI Osmo Pocket, GoproHero7Black, PanasonicFZ300/HCX909, Sony PXW-X160.
Software: Vegaspro365+Vegasaur/PowerDirector365
Hardware: i910900k,32GB,GTX2080s, 1920x1200 display
Playware: Samsung Qled QE65Q6FN, Philips 55PFL7108

Not sure what you mean by manual, but yes one has to click a button for audio fade in and another button for fade out.

I typically use the transitions too, it's been discussed prior on a good video/audio combined fade feature since fade is probably the most common transition if one is used, but I have not seen anything implemented yet. To save a step, you don't even have to add fade to your favorites folder. Audio transition has to be done independently anyhow.

PD is the only Video editor I know, that hasn't the option to simple create a fade in/out just by dragging the top corners of the video/audio clip with the mouse. Recware: DJI Osmo Pocket, GoproHero7Black, PanasonicFZ300/HCX909, Sony PXW-X160.
