Hi there, thanks for the advice! Yes, the opacity method worked great. I would also add, for anyone else who might try it, that there has to be a blank clip at the end to fade into, as with crossfade - but if you are 'fading IN' to a clip from a blank one, the opacity has to be lowered not on the end of the blank clip, but on the beginning of the one you are fading into.

I've looked at all the forum thread titles and couldn't find anything that described this issue, apologies if it has been answered. Like many people, I like to fade to black at the end of my videos and have done it before on videopad, on the same computer with no issues. In my current project however, during the fade a short section of the clip repeats over and over until the screen is black. I've tried it using the simple 'fade' and also as a 'crossfade' to a blank black clip just in case but it makes no difference. I can't understand why this is happening and it makes my video look rubbish. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, is there a way around it?? Thank you.
