Select a track and move a clip under the cursor.
Step 2
Press the

Click the

Note that the fade duration is set by the cursor position, as when using the picture keys.
Length and Shape
The

tickboxes allow you to choose what to apply. You can untick the Length tickbox
if you only want to apply the shape, and vice versa.
Fade Shape
Using the mouse and screen method allows you to set the fade shape before applying it. The shape
includes the following parameters:
Percentage
(X-Point) – this controls the percentage of the fade’s duration when it reaches the
Crossover Point.
Attenuation
(X-Level) – controls how loud the fade is (compared to the full Level of the clip) at the
Crossover point.
Duration
– the total length of the fade, in frames. (Duration is not really part of the shape, but its
control is close by).
