Creating a Fade-Out

Choose Edit > Fades > Create.

Press Command+F (Mac) or Control+F (Windows).

To apply the Fade Out using the Default Fade Out setting (standard equal gain), and without opening the Fades dialog, press Command+Control+F (Mac) or Control+Start+F (Windows).

3. Select the fade-out curve and configure the other Fade settings.

4. Click the Audition button to audition the fade.

5. Adjust the curve by dragging it or by selecting a different shape from the Out Shape pop-up menu.

Pro Tools calculates the fade and the selected fade curve appears in the clip.

Fade lengths can be resized with any of the Trim tools, including Nudge Trim commands. See “Using the Trim Tools” on page 294 and “Trimming with Nudge” on page 331.
