Fade In and Out effects are grayed out, won't work

All of a sudden I cannot Fade In or Out in Audition. Under Clip-->Fade In all of the options (No Fade, Fade In, Crossfade, etc) are grayed out. None of them are working. Likewise for Clip-->Fade Out, same problem. Currently running Audition Build 12.1.4.5. All of my Favorite Effects disappeared at the same time, but I will write up a 2nd post for that. Help!

I am having the same problem, and both of these linked threads do not answer the question. Not even close. The question has nothing to do with Favorites. It is the fact that the non-Favorite "Clip" menu options Fade In and Fade Out are disabled. Whether I select a clip or don't select anything, these two permanent options from the Clip menu are greyed out.

Are you in Multitrack or Waveform view? They are only enabled in Multitrack.

I seriously used fade in and fade out at the beginning of this year w/o going to multitrack, because I’d never used multitrack until April, and I’ve definitely been fading in and out in waveform for several years while using the “edit clip in audition” feature in premiere. Had shortcuts for fade in and out and everything. Is this the Mandela Effect in action? What’s going on? Lol

Alright, idk what the difference is, and it doesn’t matter, but there is this “Favorites” on the side, with a separate Fade In and Fade Out that do exactly what I need, and I was able to assign them my shortcuts again, so I’m back in business. PHEW.

Nothing’s going on at all. The effect that you can apply only to a clip in Multitrack view, and a Favorite exclusively for use in Waveform have no relationship to each other. That’s all you need to remember. And no, nothing about this has altered for a very long time.

I realize this thread is two years old but - WTF? I'm an old man, adimittedly, but I could have SWORN this worked fine for me with a single track just a few months ago. I'm using the Adobe beta for Audition, but did this change with that? This thread seems to indicate it's been changed for a long time but, again, I was using a pretty current version of Audion and was able to do this just fine this year for sure. BTW - this is completely stupid. You DO need to fade out a single track and making it into a multi track is both a waste of time and needlessly confusing. I may have to look around for other solutions after a decade of work with Audition.

No, it's always been like this. Waveform view fades on single tracks are easy - you use the HUD. That may be what you're getting confused with!

The HUD? Okay, as I said, I'm an old man but what the hell is that? (Heads Up Display is the normal abbreviation). Honestly, my fingers (which - again, old - usually just "remember" how to do things) could not even get started on the fade out and going to the menu did not help.

Hi ...

Did you ever discover how to enable the "No Fade, Fade In, Crossfade, etc. are grayed out" mystery ?

Thanks

It's answered further up the thread; they don't work in Waveform view.

Thanks for the reply.

I have two random clips over lapping in multitrack view, but crossfade, punch in and a few others are still greyed out. Can you advise ?

This just happened to me as well! I reinstalled it and had to reset everything back up, but fade in and out is not working. I tried to export application settings from another version I had open on a different computer but that didn't work. Is there something going on with Audition? I am a Voice Actor and I need this to be working correctly.

Once again, see the answer to your question in the other thread you posted in - here. It's quite sufficient to post in a single thread.

Rather a testy reply, given that the thread you link to addresses a different problem and does not answer this specific question. I also have Fade In/Out greyed for no explicable reason. No solution yet. This isn't at all related to Effects Favorites. I still need an answer.

Hi Steve. What's the "other thread" I cannot find another one on this. I have the same problem as Dennis and I use Audition v13.0.13.46.

Thank you

Emmanuel
