Fade In/Out Titles when Selected on Edit page?

Well, this is embarrassing. Just when I thought I had the basics down...

When using the built-in standard titles, where are the fade-in fade-out markers?

When selected, audio and video clips have the markers on the upper left and right. For titles, these do not show up and I see nowhere in the inspector to do this in a simple way.

Note that right-clicking while hovering over either end of the title clip DOES momentarily reveal a cross dissolve menu, BUT it is entirely "grayed out" and unavailable. Why is that? Is the only method then to grab a transition from the Effects area (same place the title came from)?

I cannot seem to find the answer in the DR12 manual, so here I am in the forum.

Apologies for such a simple (?) question. Thanks.

There are apparently no fade markers, but if you chose a default transition, you can add it to a title by selecting the clip and hitting ctrl-T (on a PC, anyway). This will put the transition on both the in/out points. If you want it on one side only, select the cut point with "v" and use the "u" key to select left, center or right, then hit ctrl-T (assuming your choice of position has content to fade in/out).

You can also copy a transition from one clip to another, by holding down alt and dragging the transition to the new clip.

If you're fading actual character-generator titles in and out, you can do so on the edit page by putting in keyframes with the Composite Opacity control.

Got it guys - Many thanks to you both.

There should be sliders.

Sometimes they disappear or don't show up.

Re-insert text and they're back.

Drives me nuts.

It is true that the opacity sliders below the track sometimes kind of disappear and then reappear. It's a bit hit and miss, and I suspect it's a bug.

disappearing sliders - so its not just me doing something dumb
