Fade-ins and fade-outs

You can do “fades” of single clip by using PiTiVi's video mixing capabilities, which relies on keyframes controlling each clip's opacity (see also: Understanding layers).

To fade a clip to black:

  1. Double-click on its opacity keyframe curve where you want the fade-out to start (or the fade-in to end).

  2. Click and drag the last (or first) keyframe of the clip downwards.
