#1 - is there a way to fade or blend the video effects line??
(there is such a harsh change between effects - would be nice if the effects line had their own transition??

#2 - the 'credits' text option
I cannot see ALL the text to make the correct edits
(eg actor name, etc)
when I click on the box to make edits - much of it is off the screen)

#3 - can I stack the video effects?
(eg emboss and old movie)

Hi,
#1 Every effect has FadeIn/FadeOut option. Fade In and Fade Out areas can be selected with special buttons when you edit effect in AVS Video Editor, see the first screenshot attached.

#2 To edit test in Credits effect, please change size of the text, edit and than change the size of the text back.

#3 If you mean to combine or overlay two or move effects at the same time, you should add one more line for effects, see the second screenshot attached.

I have downloaded this trial to find a suitable editor for my new HD cam as after a day of shooting i found Windows MM did not accept the HD file. Like other posts i have read here, alot are having the choppiness of the preview plane. I find it ok to low the settings to LOW, it makes it bareable. But now my delimmea with AVS (before i go on to buy this) is the lack of the simple (and foundation of filmaking seq) is the FADE IN and FADE out option! Why isnt there a Fade in and out effect by itself?

Correct me if im wrong, but i have to drag an effect to the line, double click and then fade it out or in from there. But hello, i dont want one of the 46 other effects to fade in or out. I want FADE In and FADE OUT by itself.

How can i fade the first clip i load ..IN, and how can i fade the last clip, OUT? OR how does one fade the first clip In and OUT when there is no effect for this?

here is a trick I did
make a short vid - all BLACK
(from any source - lens cap on- or take an all black JPG and load it anywhere to make a movie)
import it with your videos
load that all BLACK vid FIRST
then use the FADE SOLID transition
should work OK for you

By default effects are applied without fade in/out, you need to set it for every effect separately. In future we'll add an option to apply fade in/out to multiple objects - this way it would be easier to edit them the way you need.

Good tip!
Note that the black frame is also available in the program in the folder "Color" of the media library.

Thanks. All i did to get around this was do a black jpg, put it into movie maker and save that high quality movie file. Now i can run credits over it or blend the next scene into the black scene so it quickly fades in, if need be. Yiippe.

As already mentioned, there is no need to use a black jpg, save it as a movie file and then import it into AVS Video Editor. You can just add black color available in the program (see screenshot).

Best regards

Oh yea, thats cool. So if im to buy this, i dont need to download it again with the code or key? And do i get a CD sent to me, in Australia? Or can i? What if this laptop dies? does the key still work if i have to download a copy again?
HOw does the purchase actually work?
