You can create a fade to black (fade-out) by adding a dissolve at the end of the last segment or at the end of a segment followed by a gap.

The following procedure show how to create a fade to black. To create a fade from black, follow the same instructions but work at the head of the video clip instead of the tail.

To create a fade to black:

1. Move the positioner to the end of the timeline or before a gap.
2. Add a dissolve to the track by pressing End.

   A dissolve is added using the default dissolve length specified in the Preferences menu. See Transition Preferences.

3. Adjust the dissolve length. The alignment is set automatically to Up to Cut.
   NoteYou can add a fade to black to multiple tracks simultaneously by moving the positioner to the end of the timeline, then pressing Shift+End. All unlocked tracks that end at the same timecode will fade to black.
