Apparently the "Show Me How" feature just decided to function correctly on its own. It still wasn't any help, though. It said to move a section of video to an upper track and do the fading there. I simply dragged the end of the the video right where it was. The last time I tried this it didn't work. But, for some reason, it now works.
I guess all I have to do is ask for help and miraculously I'm able to do what I asked for. Strange.
I'm trying to fade in or fade out a video but am unable to understand the instruction booklet. It apparently assumes I already know how to do the other things that lead to fading. I don't, though. I'm not needing to fade two sections of video together. The program does that automatically. All I have to do is overlap the two sections. I'm needing to fade the beginning of a video in and the end of a video out.
I clicked "Media FX" but of the 50 or so selections fading wasn't even one of them.
The "How Do I" feature doesn't function correctly. The "Next" button doesn't appear. The "help" contents are even more vague than the booklet.
Any help would be appreciated.
