Creating Dissolves on the Desktop
 
 
 

On the desktop, you can create a dissolve or crossfade between two source clips that are not spliced together. A crossfade is similar to a dissolve, but it allows you to specify the dissolve duration. The two source clips must be of the same resolution, bit depth, and aspect ratio. As well, you can create a fade-in or fade-out to black using one source clip.
