In the Batch Fades dialog, select whether you
want to Create New Fades, Create New Fade-Ins
& Outs, Adjust Existing Fades, or a combination
of these options.
If you select to create new fades and new fade-
ins and outs, new crossfades are created at each
region boundary that is bordered by another se-
lected region, a fade-in is created at the start of
the first region, and a fade-out is created at the
end of the last region.

Pro Tools creates the fades for all selected re-
gions.
Moving and Nudging Fades
and Crossfades
Fades and crossfades can be moved or nudged in
tracks, independently of their contributing re-
gions. Moving or nudging fade-ins or fade-outs
reveals or hides audio as the fade is moved from
the edge of a contributing region. Moving or
nudging crossfades changes the overlap point of
the contributing regions. Moving or nudging
fades is also constrained by underlying region
boundaries.
Moving or Nudging Fades or
Crossfades within Regions
