Opacity controls the transparency of a clip. Clips default to 100% opacity (completely visible). As the opacity is reduced the clip becomes more transparent and the track below becomes more visible.
Timeline Panel Adjustments
- Expand the view of a track, if necessary, by clicking the triangle next to the track name to expand its options.
- If necessary, click the Show Keyframes button , or the Hide Keyframes button , and choose Show Opacity Handles from the menu. A horizontal opacity control rubber band appears in all the clips of the track.
- Note: If no keyframes exist on the track, the rubber band appears as a straight horizontal line across the entire track.
- Select the Selection tool, and drag the opacity control rubber band up or down or select the Pen tool, and drag the opacity control rubber band up or down.
- The opacity value and current time appear as a tool tip as you drag.
- To animate the Opacity effect over time, first set keyframes. Select the Pen tool. Click on the opacity control rubber band with the Pen tool wherever you want to set a keyframe. Then drag each keyframe up or down to set its value. For example, to fade a clip in, create a keyframe at the beginning of the clip and another a few seconds later. Drag the first down to the bottom of the clip at 0 opacity. Drag the second up to 100%.
Effects Controls Panel Adjustments
- With the Selection tool double click a clip in the Timeline to open in in the Source Monitor.
- In the Source Monitor clock on the Effects Control tab. Click the triangle to the left of Opacity to expand the view.
