Fades with Ulead 11

[cyren-2132.livejournal.com]

I'm working with a trial version of Ulead 11 after getting fed up with Windows Movie Maker's crappy time toggles and lack of frame-by-frame, but I can't figure out how to make a video clip fade up from or out to black or white (well, there's a transition that's fade to black, but it's entirely too fast) or how to make one clip fade to another clip.

It's really quite frustrating because it's like the easiest thing to do in WMM is the hardest (so far) to do in Ulead. Oh, and when I try to click the question mark in the upper right hand I just get a "the help file cannot be found" message. That's not normal is it?

And if anyone cares I'm making an Angel vid that emphasizes Angel and Cordy's feelings post-Hero.

The easiest way to do this is to crossfade into a solid color block of white/black. :)

Ah. That does sound like it would work. Thanks!

Is there a way to edit the length/speed of transitions? I know I was able to change how quickly my titles faded in and out (because it was EASY to add fades to THEM) but when I was just playing around with the transition I didn't see a way (immediately, anyway; I didn't spend a lot of time exploring that.)

Click on the transition itself, and drag the edges around to adjust length.
