How do I "fade to black" between clips

Hi All, I want to add a 'fade to black' effect when going from one clip to another and I can't figure out how. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Sorry, I have QT Pro.

How do I fade to black in a slideshow?

It's been years since I've used Flash, so I'm a bit rusty.
But I am trying to use the slideshow presentation template and do
transitions between the slides, but I'm not getting the results I
want.
I'm putting in the preset behaviors for fade in and out, and
what I get is a crossfade. What I want is a fade to black, and a
fade up from black (a dip to black), and not a crossfade. Is there
a simple scripting way to do this that I can put on the
presentation (master) slide? If been playing with setInterval to
delay the transition but I can't get it to work. Thanks.

Add a "Fade Through Black" transition after your last clip.
For the volume fade, you can drag the Fade handles.
See this video for details. (Click on All New Audio Editing)

Using final cut pro x how to fade to black

with final cut pro x, how do you fade to black?

So, at this point I feel compelled to throw out a few 'pearls of wisdom' for the self-taught beginners who use this forum;
It IS a place to come for expert advice from a mix of enthusiasts and professionals, and yes, you can get problems solved here that you won't find answers to anywhere else (with the possible exception of Creative Cow). Some problems get answered better here than from Apple Support.
This does not mean that you (the beginner) are absolved from a little study on your own. BROWSE the forum a little before you ask a question - you may even discover something that you didn't even know that you didn't know.
Speaking of youtube; take a look at the Izzyvideo tutorial or some of the others posted there. Learn the basics, and then ask a question. If we are willing to take the time to answer questions, then you should (at least!) be willing to take the time to do a little research.
If you don't have the time to learn the software, HIRE an editor.

Fade to black between slides in slideshow, HOW in Lr 5.4???

I'm using Lr 5.4.
How do I do a simple fade to black between images in a slideshow? I don't want a dissolve. Many thanks for your pointers.

As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals. This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves. Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

How do you FADE UP FROM BLACK and FADE OUT TO BLACK in iMovie 11?

With all the silly effects in iMovie 11, I can't figure out how to do a simple FADE UP FROM BLACK or FADE OUT TO BLACK. Anybody know?

Fade to Black does it all. At the beginning of the sequence it fades up from black. Between clips it fades to black and back from black. At the end of the sequence it fades to black.

Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
Hope that''s what you are looking for!

"Fade to black" transition without handles ?

Is there any method to do a "fade to black" transition without handles in FCP 6 ?
Like in iMovie for example. Maybe with another Pro App?
Many Thanks.

Have the Fade to Black end at the end of the clip, not in the middle. Notice when you drag transitions onto clips how you can make it end on the cut, be in the middle of the cut, or start at the cut.

Fade to black, jpegs.

hello all, I am new to FCE and am having trouble figuring out how to add a simple fade to black effect to a series of jpegs, Im shooting stop motion with my SLR and want to add a fade out to multiple shots- not just the very last one. At this point all I can do it add the effect to the very last still image and its much to abrupt - i want to gradually fade out over multiple shots. do I need to merge the jpegs somehow? any-help is appreciated.

Dear lukasdp:
If you let your eyes wander to the right hand side of this page, you will Mr. Wolsky's name at the top of an impressive list showing the number of responses he has made to struggling FCE-ers. You will notice that he is number one.
Imagine how much time and work that took.
I am sure that users of this forum would be quick to tell you that Mr. Wolsky unfailingly gives excellent and useful advice and, very sensibly, that does sometimes mean that he refers some-one to a useful and informative site.
Most users, myself included, are very grateful to this gentleman.
I have no doubt that movie makers world wide view Mr. Wolsky with unreserved respect.
I suspect that your are brand new to the site. Nevertheless, perhaps your next step should be an apology to the man who was trying to help you.

Fade to black at the end

Hi all
I've started to use Motion 5 for a few weeks now but I'm kinda stuck on how to fade to black on a project. Ok it's a
Motion 5 project (built in the program) called "Atmospheric - lower third" in the "Composition" section and I want to do a
5 sec fade to black. I added about 5 sec to the 20 sec project making it 25 sec and I don't find a fading FX in the program.
There IS a fade in and fade out together but I just want a fad out and how can I make it work?? I know I still need allot of
practice with this program and I intend to get Lynda video tutorials soon but I need to to this now for next week and I have
no idea what to do to make a good fade out. If it can't be done with this program can I export it to final cut X and do a fade
there? Any help would be very welcomed!!!!
THANKS!!!
Serge

The easiest thing to do is add a Color Solid:
Press the Generators button at the bottom right of the canvas and select Generators > Color Solid. This gives you a specialized shape that automatically fills the canvas with color. Set the Color (in the inspector) to Black.
Select the Properties tab and in the Blending section, set the Opacity to 0%
Right click on the word "Opacity" and from the popup menu, select Parameter Behaviors > Ramp
In the Behaviors inspector > Ramp, set the Start Value to 0% and the End Value to 100%
Move the playhead in the mini Timeline to the place where you want the "fade out" to start.
The Motion 5 Help window tends to be a little slow - and too in the way for me, so I have an online copy bookmarked for viewing in my browser here:
http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.0/en/motion/usermanual/
unfortunately, this version is not searchable, so I also keep the Motion 4 user manual bookmarked here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/motion/usermanual/index.html
This version IS searchable. Keep in mind that Motion 4 and Motion 5 do not "look" the same. However, everything in the Motion 4 documentation (other than placement of icons, etc.) is concurrent with how Motion 5 works (Motion 5 has some new concepts that won't exist in the M4 documentation like Rigs and specialized drop zones that represent media content *in* FCPX.)
If you're okay with dealing with the appearance differences between Motion 5 and earlier versions, here is a good source for basic "practice" exercises (skip the ones on "Round-Tripping" -- that no longer applies to M5/FCPX): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB7982C0260F090C1
More here:

And some pretty advanced tutorials here:

All together, probably a better education than you'd get from Lynda.com and they're all free.

Audio cuts off during fade to black transition

After completing my movie, I tried to add a simple fade in at the very beginning and a fade out at the end. The video image fades fine but the audio is off altogether during both transitions.
What's weird is that if I look at the audio track in the precision editor, it looks like it fades in and out perfectly with the video.
Please help!
Thanks,
Jeremy

Any takers? I'd be very keen to learn how to do this as well.
I have a "fade to black" at the end of my movie but I don't want the audio to fade until the end of the clip.

Finder built-in slideshow blinks after fade-to-black before starting

When I start a slideshow from Finder, the screen fades to black smoothly, but then when it's black, it blinks back to normal view for few millisecs before starting the slideshow. This makes the fade-to-black totally non-effective.
The effect is the same when changing resolution (the screen blinks on for a while). Anyone else has this?
It's not visually nice at all. How to get rid of it?

This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

Bad Quality of Fade to black

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with Encore/Premiere Pro CS3. I created a sequence in Premiere and send it via "Export to encore" to Encore. It was a DV movie and I chose "PAL High Quality" for the convertion.
Most of the video is fine but when there is a fade to black or a fade in from black the video is some kind of blurred!
Is there any way how I can solve this problem?
Looking forward to your suggestions!
Cheers,
Madlog

Please tell us about your CS3 Project, and the Assets that you are using.
Are you only adding the Dip-to-Black Transition, or are you doing Opacity Keyframing?
What happens if you Export as DV-AVI and Import that into Encore, letting it do the Transcoding?
Good luck,
Hunt

Bad Quality of Fade to black after transcoding

Can you give us details about the source Clips used in CS3?
I assume that you are doing the work in a DV PAL Project. Is this correct?
Have you added the Video Transition>Dip-to-Black, or have you Keyframed Opacity, or similar to create this?
Good luck, and let us know the details - more will be better.
