Creating Fade In/Fade Out

Does anyone know what apple uses to create "sample" MP4's that we hear in iTunes when we click on a song to "listen to". Do they have "sample" cuts already available, or do they use software to create a sample of the song on the fly?
I recently converted several clients CD libraries to MP3's. They sell these songs on their own websites. I would like to create 30 second samples of these, and have the software to do it. But . . . as there are approx. 900 songs to do, I'd like to be able to batch automate the process if possible.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim

The only idea I have for you is to load the song using Garage Band. Then if you are familiar with this program you can use the "Scissors" you can cut the song down to what you want, length wise, and then you can use the "arrow down" tool to fade the sound in and out. After that you can resave those as samples and then upload to any place you need. As for the automater im not sure how it would be possible to do all that, so its gonna take a little sweat to get this done. I hope this is what you could be looking for if not sorry for wasting your time reading this.

Can i create a new function (Fade out, Amplify down, Fade In)

Hi,
I am using Adobe Audition version 3.0
Is it possible to define a new function, so that i can select a short piece of the audio file within Edit View, so that the first 5 miliseconds (of the selected piece of audio) will be applied a Fade Out, and the last 5 miliseconds will be applied a Fade In, and in-between will be Amplified by -12dB.
I have to do this hundreds of times within a 1 hour recording of speech which has many short pauses, in order to remove small external noises between the words.
I normally select (one by one) the space/pause between the words and amplify this by -12 dB. Then i select the preceeding 5 miliseconds and apply a Fade Out. And the 5 miliseconds after the pause a Fade In.
I have only discovered today how to create short-cuts, so at least i have a short cut for the Amplify, Fade Out and Fade In.
But it would be great, if i could somehow define a function as i described above, to do all 3 steps within the one function.
Any help or tips appreciated.

You might be able to - but this is going to require quite a complex script that would need some serious editing by hand, and even then I'm not absolutely sure that it would work. The previous problem with this sort of script was that due to an 'anomaly' in the program, the - (minus) sign wouldn't work in a script, but I think that with the 3.0.1 patch, it does again. And even with this working, it's going to require some experimentation. Initially you need to refer to ryclark's method of entering absolute values which you will find here, and then you have to find a way to realise the whole operation a step at a time. You'd have to handle the fade out and the fade in separately, but where I think you might come considerably unstuck is trying to fade to -12dB for the middle section - that's probably the bit that would perhaps require slightly more than might actually be possible. I'd be quite happy to be proved wrong about that though!
I'm afraid that there's no documentation at all for the scripting language - this is something that Adobe, and Syntrillium before them, have never quite managed to provide, despite promising me some a while back. The good news though is that if you can make this work, then it's relatively straightforward to assign a shortcut key to it. But I should warn you now that this would be one hell of a script...

Creating fade in fade out effect in catalyst cs5

How can I create Fade-in or Fade-out on Click of Button?

I'm using Encore DVD 2.0. My DVD starts with a video on a timeline, and then jumps to a main menu with a motion background and music. The main menu links to a couple videos on timelines.
I'd like to do 2 things:
1) When the user clicks a button on the main menu to bring them to a video on a timeline, I'd like the main menu itself to fade out before jumping to the timeline. How can I make this happen in Encore? I of course can't create this fade-out in the editing of the video, since the user could possibly click the button at any point throughout the video.
2) In transitioning from the initial timeline to the main menu, I would like the main menu to fade in. Is this possible, and if so, how can I make this happen in Encore?
Thank you for your help.

> I'm trying to understand what you mean. Did you mean that I can make my entire menu part of the background motion video? How would the buttons work? Is there a way to create invisible buttons in Encore?
Sorry for the confusion - I didn't write that as clearly as I should have done.
Right now, in Encore, you
i cannot
use "Buttons Over Video" as it is not in the feature set. What I was trying to say is that a feature request might get this functionality added in a later build. We can but hope, anyway.
What I can recommend you try is using After Effects or Premiere Pro to create your Motion Menu, and set things up so that the appearance of the actual buttons is delayed to the point you want them to appear at.
Another solution - this will give you minimal delays (should be very close to seamless on the final DVD) is this:
1 - Intro to Main Menu.
Create your intro to the main menu, and set this not as a timeline, but as a motion menu. Set the End Action of this to go straight to a static/still copy of the final frame from the Motion Intro.
2 - Main Menu
This will be a still menu, with or without Audio. If you use Audio it will need to loop though.
3 - Outro from Main Menu to timeline.
Fake this as follows.
Method A.
Create the outro to the timeline and set this as another motion menu - not a timeline - with it's end action set to automatically play the main film. The outro will presumably fade to black, so any transition will be un-noticeable.
Method B
Fake the outro by adding it to the start of the main timeline.
I think Method A will be your best bet here.

Creating a Template with Fade In / Fade Out

Hi Guys,
I need to make a number of audio samples for promotion - I have a lot of audio files so I need to make a template which is 3 minutes long and has a 10 second fade in, fade out either side. How would I go about making that? I'm new to Logic so sorry if it's a dumb question.
Cheers.
M

Hi Matt,
I don't think it is a dumb question, you provided all the info needed to help you out. It is a newb question though (but they are not by definition dumb). here's what you need to do:
Open an empty project, create one stereo audio track. Hit 'A'. The track now goes to automation mode. Click in the track, it will create 'nodes' that you can drag at will. You make 1 node at the start (bar 1) of value -∞ dB, create a second node of 0.0 (or -6.0) dB at 10 seconds and at 2'50", and create node 4 at 3'00" of value -∞db again.
From the file menu, now select "Save as Template...", enter a name, done!
regards, Erik.

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

rickeyt
Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

Fad out the end of a clip

Can anybody tell me how I can fade out the end of the sound clip I have created in sound track pro?
Thanks a lot.

If you're in multitrack mode, you'll need to use volume automation. Click the arrow to the left of the track name to open the automation pane. Double-click on the volume automation line at the place you want your fade to begin. Double-click again at the place you want your fade to end and grab the little square dot to the bottom.

Text shifts slightly at end of fade-in and at the start of fade-out

Hi, I have created text with a crossfade at both ends. I find that my text jitters a bit at the point where the fade-in ends AND at the point where the fade-out begins. How can I get rid of that slight shift?
Thanks, Bob

Hi Tom, I am working in standard DV, and viewing the jittery text straight off the timeline. By your question, I am starting to assume that this problem may disappear when this project is eventually burned on a disk and viewed on a TV?
By the way, thanks for all your generous help. I hope you realize that you are saving a lot of people from going crazy. I wish I knew your address, and could send you a gift.

How can I make a fade out effect at the end of the song in garageband for iPad?

I want to made this effect but honestly I have no idea about what I have to do. u.u Please help.

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

Fade Out to White in Final Cut Pro (FCP)

Could someone please show me how to do add a fade-to-white transition in Final Cut Pro (FCP)? (Instead of black, which is default.) I want to be able to do both: 1) fade to white; 2) and white to the picture. An example clip:
http://www.allfilters.com/campingfilters/gravityfed/platypus-gravityworks-filter
*Click on the "Videos" tab.
This clip ends with "fade to white." I want to apply the same effect in the beginning (white to movie).
Thank you in advance.

Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve> Dip to Color Dissolve ... add it at the start and end
Double click the transition at the start (the Fade In) to open it in the Viewer and change the Color property to White. For extra credit you can change the Start value to 50%. Then double click the transition at the end (the Fade Out) to open it in the Viewer and again change the Color property to White. For extra credit change the End value to 50%.
Or another way would be to use Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color Solid to create a "White" clip and then use that to dissolve into and out of your edit using a regular Cross Dissolve transition or by placing the Color Solid on another layer and the keyframing the opacity.
Hope it helps
Andy

Fade Out Text Help Needed

First flash project. All looks great in preview. I've created
a text fade out by converting the white text to a movie clip
symbol. In one keyframe the text is alpha 100%. Several frames
later I've created another keyframe with alpha set to 0%. I've
added a motion tween between the 2 keyframes.
The SWF looks good when I pan it on the timeline, however,
when I test it or publish it. The text just stays alpha 100%.
Your assistance is appreciated.

First let me just point out that if text is not Alpha at all,
you don't need to set
it to 100%, you just set the side where the 0% is, or
whatever number lower than 100%.
100% means no alpha so it's not required to specify that at
all.
Secondly, my guess is that you set the text to DYNAMIC not
STATIC. Dynamic text can
fade in authoring but will fail upon export. In fact try to
Export Preview movie all
the time, this is the only reliable method to find out
whether it's all functioning
properly. Preview while authoring it's never reliable.

Gradually decrease volume/ adjust only fade out time

Hi,,, 2 questions: How do I GRADUALLY decrease or increase volume in desired clip (to inaudible).
How do I adjust the lenght of the FADE out time ONLY at the end of or beginning of a ClIP
Howard

To add a Fade In or Fade Out, right-click on a clip on your timeline and select the fade option.
As I say in my books, fades are really just keyframed opacity and volume levels. If you look closely at the clips on your timeline, you'll see the keyframe points and the sloping line between them that creates the fade.
To make your fade last longer, just move these keyframes farther apart!

Problems with fade out

i'm trying to do a fade out at the end of rather long audio file, about 20 minutes, and the fade out function will not work. it works at the beginning of the track, i can click, create the little ball-points and drag them up and down as i please, but at the end, i create a ball point, then go to create another one to bring the fade down, and the first ball i created vanishes. i even tried creating a new music track separate from the one i created for the fade in, and same result. fade out doesn't work after about 3/4 of the way through the track. any suggestions?

The zoom setting deal.. it's the circle button right? With the L and R on it.. I tried moving it to L to zoom out but it doesn't change a thing. I was so proud of myself for finally learning how to fade in and out today.. but now this won't work. It's weird, once it passes like 520 or so, the ball disappears and the fading stops working (past that point).

However I can tell you two different ways to do it step by step in Flash Professional CS 3, 4, or 5, MX and Studio 8.
