Add an Audio Fade In and Fade Out

When trimming a song to fit a video, you often end up with an abrupt start and stop that can be rough on the ears. You can smooth out the sound by gently fading the music in and out.

Open the Clip menu at the top of the screen and select Audio. From there, select Fade In and Fade Out to add these effects to your video.
