Crossfade Presets

The parameters of a crossfade (fade lengths, overlaps, point offset, curve shape, symmetry) can be saved in presets for further use. The saved presets are applied by selecting them from the Presets menu. The "fade-out" reference point of a crossfade and the reference points of a single fade-in or fade-out are retained.

To save the current settings in the Crossfade Editor as a crossfade preset, click the Write button and assign a new name. The saved preset will now appear in the Presets list.

Standard Crossfade Presets

There are standard crossfade presets that are applied at various points in the program during cutting operations when the Auto Crossfade Mode is activated. You can use the Crossfade Editor to adapt these default crossfades to your needs by loading them, modifying them accordingly, and saving them again under these default names.

Default_CrossFade is applied with all cut operations. It is a very short, symmetrical, linear crossfade designed to produce cuts that are as inaudible as possible. In cuts where a simple fade is created, the objects are "cropped", i.e. the fade is completely inside. For cuts that create a crossfade (e.g. splitting an object), the fade in the front object is completely outside (100% overlap) and in the back object completely inside (0% overlap).

Default_CrossFade_Alt is linked to the menu command Split objects with alternate (linear) crossfade (keyboard shortcut: Shift + T). It is also linear, slightly longer and symmetrical to the split point, but with an overlap of 50%.
