Can't add fadeout to last clip

[johnywhy]

steps:

- Position playhead at desired fade-start
- Right-click clip, click 'effects'
- Click green plus.
- Click 'Fade out'
- The effects window instantly closes, and no fade is added. 

any fix?

thx!

Update: Seems the fade gets added to the end of the clip, instead of play position. 

Any way to start the fade at current play position?

thx

FADE OUT is the same as clicking the "X" on the last clip - it creates a transition whose length can be adjusted.

For precision, instead use the TRANSPARENCY effect.

In its preset field choose FADE OUT from the drop-down options, then enable the graph by clicking the icon with the squiggly line.

Adjust the graph and create keyframes if needed to achieve the desired trajectory.
