I've got exactly the same problem. Even though early fading out doesnt happen on all videos i've put in my project. Only a few.
And if i stop the video during this silence" and start again, audio is fine.
manually changing the fading in and outs doesn't make a difference..
These fading-outs are also being exported into the finished video, making is unwatchable!
Unchecking the 500ms-option didnt help.
anyone got a solution?
The videos i'm using are in mov-format!
