How do you create a crossfade between two overlapping clips?

• A. Use Merge Clips feature.
• B. Overlap the clips to prompt a crossfade; accept or adjust the crossfade length; modify the fade handles as needed.
• C. Delete one clip and bounce to disc.
• D. Use a Special crossfade plug-in.

Answer: (B)

Creating a crossfade in Pro Tools starts by letting the two clips overlap on the same track. When you overlap them, Pro Tools automatically inserts a crossfade at the junction, blending the end of the first clip into the start of the second. The length of that crossfade is tied to how much they overlap, and you can fine-tune it by adjusting the fade handles that appear at the ends of the clips in the overlapped region. Dragging those handles reshapes the crossfade and lets you set the exact duration and curve you want. This built-in behavior avoids extra steps like merging, bouncing, or using plugins, which aren’t needed for a simple smooth transition.
