Moving Regions Adjacent to Crossfades
When you move either of the regions that con-
tributes to a crossfade, the regions separate. The
status of the fade depends on the Preserve Fades
when Editing preference (in the Editing Prefer-
ences page).
To separate crossfaded regions and retain the
corresponding fades:
1
Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Ed-
iting tab.
2
Select Preserve Fades when Editing.
3
Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
4
Use the Time Grabber or Separation Grabber
tool to select one of the contributing regions to
a crossfade.

To separate crossfaded regions and remove the
fade:

iting tab.

Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

tool to select one of the contributing regions to

Nudging Regions Adjacent to
Crossfades
When you nudge either of the regions that con-
tributes to a crossfade, the fade stretches to pre-
serve the relative position of the crossfade start
and end points. The amount of stretch depends
on the amount of overlap between the contrib-
uting regions.
If you nudge a region beyond the boundary of
available audio for the crossfade, the fade is re-
moved.
