Womble Fading

[white43]

Now, maybe I'm going mad - but I am convinced that last time I edited Godzilla, I could get Womble to fade at just the end of the clip. But now, it puts it at the start AND the end! I read the help file which seems to indicate that this is correct.

So how do I just fade at the end of the clip?

Also - if you use Womble's transition effect - I can only place them in the video line - not the audio, so subsequently the audio and video go out of sync. Am I being a muppet here? :???:

Right-click on the clip in the timeline and select fade. There you can set the fade ins and outs separately.

You can't use the transition effects for audio. You can fake it though. Have the audio from each clip overlapping (by having one in the music track and one in the voice track) each other by 2 seconds. Fade out the first one for 2 seconds, fade in the second one for 2 seconds and you've just made a crossfade.

Or you could just not demux the streams when you rip the DVD and edit the VTS file directly. That will allow you to transition the audio and video at the same time.

I must be being a complete spazz. I can only see Video 'In' and 'Out' and this seems to refer to the amount of time the fade occurs at.....

select the video or audio stream to fade, right click on it:

this window opens to allow you audio and video fading to your liking:

This was almost two years ago (I have Vegas now), but whenever I had fade problems in Womble (which was every time), I would end up rendering a few extra frames (which doesn't matter because Womble only makes render changes to clips you actually edit) than I needed. Then I would import the new renders into a fresh project & trim the extra frames. When you cut it together again, you're missing the glitched out portions, and you've already got the proper fades built into the video stream. (so Womble won't have to re-render things & mess it up again)

You should always try to do as little rendering as possible with Womble, but taking a pass & then continuing the cut in a second, otherwise identical project always helped solve Womble's technical quirks, which came up frequently. Making multiple passes over important cuts like the final fade-out of your fanedit film can make a big difference when you need a very specific effect from a shot. It is possible though, so don't let Womble get the best of you.
