How To Create a Fade-in Or Fade-out Effect In Final Cut Pro

You can use the Cross Dissolve transition to quickly create a “fade in from black” effect at the beginning of your project or a “fade to black” effect at the end. (Fade effects commonly appear at the beginning or end of a movie or TV show.) 1. In Final Cut Pro, add one or more clips to the timeline. 2. Do one of the following: • Create a fade-in: Select the start point of the first clip in the timeline. • Create a fade-out: Select the end point of the last clip in the timeline. 3. Do one of the following: • Choose Edit - Add Cross Dissolve (or press Command-T) to add the default Cross Dissolve transition to the selection. Click the Transitions button in the top-right corner of the timeline (or press ControlCommand-5), then drag the Cross Dissolve transition from the Transitions browser to the selection. 4. Make adjustments to the Cross Dissolve transition, as needed.
