How to fade out button as menu fades?

I've searched the forums and manual to no avail.
I created a menu that fades to black before jumping to the loop point. Is it possible to fade out the highlighted button as my menu fades to black and jumps to the loop point? Otherwise, the button remains highlighted on screen as the menu fades to black.
I understand how to fade in a button by using Final Cut or Motion and an overlay file, but this of course wouldn't work when fading out a button since the button remains on screen while the video "button" fades out.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you add a transition from the menu to the track, such as a dissolve, it should not carry over the highlights - not sure if the button itself is on the highlights. But lets say you have an arrow next to the text that highlights that should not be seen in the transition portion, but it will be abrupt. Also if there is motion after the loop point you will not know when the button is pressed, if it is effectively a still then the fades are smoother.

How to fade in and fade out buttons ???

Hi guys I am building a website and I need help to fade in/ fade out buttons. Here is an example :
My main goal is that when I roll over the services button, I want the submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade in. Then when I roll over the portfolio button, I want the first submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade out and the second submenu ( clients, corporate, weddings, etc..) to fade in and to stay like this. Finally when I roll over testimonials, the second submenu fades out. And so on for the rest of the buttons.
FYI, i know how to animate the buttons to fade in/out but i dont know how to make them fade out when i roll over the other buttons.. I know this can be done with action script but I have no clue how...
I have attached my fla and swf.

Some things you just have to take the time to unravel and learn. It's not difficult/complex, you just have to avoid letting the code overwhelm you by its appearance... instead of looking at pages, look at one page at a time, line by line... take your time and follow a tutorial.
People make tutorials to help those that need to learn, so there's no reason for anyone here to reinvent those wheels for every person that comes along. If you are looking for someone who'll hand you your solved design, sorry, I'm not that guy.

Fade out of song? Fade icon does seem to do the trick.

Hello,
I have Logic Pro (Academic Version, which I believe should be the same as the full version--except I cannot update to the next version).
I'm trying to fade out the end of the song, except I can't seem to do it with the fade icon. I can't seem to do it with any of my individual files with some exception.
How can I achieve that typical 80's fade out of a song at the end? And what am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Use volume automation for song fadeouts...on the master output fader.

For that,you'll need a time machine,mine rents out at 1,200 USD one way trip to that particular decade.You're not doing anything wrong,you are just using the wrong tool for what you wat to do,which is to fade out the entire mix.

Image Fade Out/Load new Image/Fade In

I think I am having an event timing issue. My desire is to
change the "header" image on each selection of a tabNavigator. I
can swap the image without issue through a img.load process. I
placed the image on a canvas and set the "showEffect" and
"hideEffect" on the canvasto fadeIn and fadeOut. (I actually have 2
images on the canvas) On the tabNavigator "change" event I call my
getImage() function and set canvs.visible=false, I have the tab
index for img.load=headerPic[idx] and then I set
canvs.visible=true; The result is that I do not get the first
visible change, I think. Tab 1 is initialized to visible in
ionComplete, clicking on tab 1 has no effect since it is selected
already. When tab 2 is selected the image changes to the new image
immediately and then fadesOut. Tab 3 then will fadeIn. Also
regardless of the tab selected, if I select another tab the ongoing
fade effect will continue on the newly selected tab. It seems the
load method doesn't care about effects - so I don't know how to
sequence these effects.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the completeEffect on Image to have an effect
every time an
image loads, such as you can see used here
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/photoviewer/PhotoViewer.html,
but I don't think there's a corresponding effect that you can
apply to the
old image before the change.
I think you're going to need to use ActionScript to get the
control over the
effects that you want, so you can call either the end() or
the reverse()
method on the effect when the graphic needs to change in
mid-effect.

How to make the button "Other Menu" unnavailable????

Problem: The fade in button/tab refuses to show up

I have a four minute slideshow using two different songs. When the second half with the new song starts up, it is too abruptly loud and I want to do a fade In. Problem is, whereas the grey fade out button appears for at the end of the last clip with the ending of the first song, the grey fade in button refuses to appear at the beginning of the second half with the second song.
I had the same problem with trying to increase the volume of the second half with the new song. The volume adjust handles refuse to show up on the second half of the slideshow with the new song.
Do you have a fix for this?

Hello Matthew,
Related to thread, our custom viewer app has a similar problem that only the latest free issue (published via folio builder website) is appeared, and 3 retail issues (published via folio builder) and other 3 retail issues (published via pre-release content bundler) are disappeared. And purchased 2 retail issues (published via prerelease content bundler) are appeared when logged in with the apple ID used for those 2 retail issued. Please look at my question on the forum 'http://forums.adobe.com/thread/898282?tstart=0'
I've emailed (through the private message tool here) you our contact information including our Gold support contract number.
Please help us to solve this urgent issue, still affecting our magazine app.

Simultaneous fade out and fade in and image

I currently have code that fades out on canvas of a view
stack and fades in a second canvas of the view stack. However, my
desired behavior is that the fade out happens as the fade in
happens so it would simulate a tween effect like when making
animated gif's. Is there a way to do this, and if so does anyone
have any sample code to do this?

so the fade out and fade in are working like you said,
however I want then to be in the same position on the page. I would
like each canvas to be at coordinates (0,0). Here is my code, but
the canvas' are stacked vertically? Is what I want to do possible?

Looking for a fade out only transition

Is there a fade out transition that only fads out, and not in? I want to put one at the very end of my movie so that when it ends it fades out instead of just cutting off fast. I saw there is a fade in/out transition but that requires it going betwee n two clips. Thanks.

Just place a regular dissolve at the end at whatever duration you need. Or keyframe the opacity.

Fade out without fade in??

hi, i need to make fade-outs, without having a fade-in. but i can't find any option for that; a fade-out seems to be connected automatically to a fade-in. Can anyone help me out on this?

technically spoken, iMovie has no fade-out.
dissolve, or transition thru black ...
The work-around Bengt recommends is the only way to fade to black AND starting the next scene without a fade-in.
But ………
due to iM's inherent rule
"a transitions length is max half length of shortest clip involved"
this workaround adds some 'black' to that fade-out!
if the fade is 2sec, before the next clip there are 2sec of black - no 'fade-out, cut' ....
when you shorten the black, the fade gets shorten too....

Fade out live type text

This seems like it should be pretty simple, but I can't find anything here that gives me a good answer.
I have created text in live type with a blue light affect. when I add it the FCE it works but when it is done it just disappears. I have a 3D cube spin straight after it in FCE.
Is there any way to get the text to fade out so its smoother?
Regards

Forgive my lack of knowledge, I'm very new to this.
I have my video in FCE and want to add text to the bottom part of the screen (I have this done with the blue light effect), it remains on screen ad then I want all the text to fade out at the same time over approximately 4 seconds. I think this is described as linear.
I added a fade out affect from the fades category of the effects tab and selected fade out. In the attributes tab I can choose from left or from right. I see no option for linear.
Maybe you could walk me through where to find the standard fade out?
Many Thanks for your help so far
Kind Regards

Remove CSLive button from menu

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.

How can I have an object toggle between fade out and fade in with button?

Hello all,
I have a problem and I was hoping someone out there could help me out with it.
I have smart shape that is set to show for "rest of project" on one of my early slides. It is not visible in output in the properties, but when a user clicks a button in the project, it should fade in and then stay visible. If the user clicks the same button again, it should fade out and stay hidden. So rather than toggle between show and hide, which I know how to do, I want it to toggle between fade in and fade out. I am having trouble with this. Setting its transition to fade in and fade out in the properties of the smart shape doesn't help...
Here is the advanced action I have attached to the button that should allow the user to toggle between fade in and fade out. The "if" parts works -- the object fades in and then finally "shows" at 100% the "else" part almost works. It fades out, disappears, but then shows again, which I obviously dont want it to do. I want it to stay hidden.
If you can help, it would be great!!

I Don't
But as a work around you could try increasing the canvas size to match the illustrator file, paste in the object then crop off the excess canvas in photoshop
