How do I create a slow, gentle fade in of text in Premiere?

Question

Hi everyone,I'm teaching myself Premiere, and I'm trying to create a *slow, *gentle, *gradual fade in of text.I have tried ––both; manually with key-framing the opacity of the clip, and I've tried a cross dissolve.The issue is that regardless of how long the duration of the cross dissolve effect, or the distance I put between keyframes when I do it manually –– the text immediately becomes visible from the start. And I want the text to become *gradually visible.The bizarre part, is that when the clip *fades out, it is exactly how I am trying to create the fade in; slow and gentle.So, when I do it manually with keyframes; at the start the clip, I set the opacity to 0.In the middle of the clip, the opacity to 100.The end of the clip, the opacity back to 0.Thus, the settings are exactly the same from the beginning of the clip to the middle,as they are from the middle of the clip, to the end.0 to 100 and back to 0.So, why is the fade out nice and gentle, and yet, the fade in of the text is immediately visible and jarring?Logically, if the text can fade out from 100 to 0 opacity in a gentle, gradual manner,surely the text must be able to fade in from 0 to 100, also in a slow, gentle, gradual way.But, the text becomes immediately visible, despite lengthening the duration of a cross dissolve, or increasing the distance between keyframes when done manually.I need the fade in to gradually reveal the text, but, the moment the clip starts to play, the text becomes visible immediately, and in a jarring way.With the fade out, the text becomes gradually invisible. It's smooth and gentle. How to create this for the fade in?!Thanks!N

The built-in transitions can be abrupt depending on what you're fading from/to. I like to create my own fade in/out presets with easing, here's how:

1. Set your Keyframes (0, 100)

2. Right click and change from "Linear" to "Bezier"

3. Drag the bezier handles till you achieve the level/speed of smoothness you want.

4. When you're done, right click on the "Opacity" effect and select "Save Preset"

5. Now you have that transition saved for whenever you want to use it.

I am a novice of the first order!  I struggled for more than an hour trying to fill in the gaps in the questions and answers in this thread.  I had to branch out to Google searches and YouTube videos, but I am not quite sure how I arrived at making a keyframe.  I think I made the keyframe by clicking on "add a keyframe" in the Transform section of Effects panel.  After I did that with additional hemming and pecking the tutorial instrctions began to work and viola my text faded in and out as I had envisioned.  Thanks experts, but please consider us first timers need more orientation to be able to use your tutolage.
