Avid Express Pro Shortcuts
To become an effective and efficient editor you must learn as many shortcuts as possible. One favorite and most used shortcut is the Fade Effect. Not only do I use this effect to fade but I created a keyboard shortcut for it because I use it so much. I have many titles throughout my shows and about 90 percent of them need to fade up and then down. The fastest way to accomplish this is the first edit all of your titles into the timeline and then select multiple titles by using the segment mode. Here is the breakdown:
- Edit your titles, graphics, clips, ect. into your timeline.
- To fade multiple titles at once, with the same values, enter either segment mode.
, and press the shift key while selecting your desired segments. - Click the Fade Effect button
from the Tool Palette Fast Menu or use your keyboard shortcut once you have created one. - In the Fade Effect dialog box, enter the number of frames to fade up, down or both.
- Click OK and you are done.
Now go out and fade away!
