Chris,
I've been working hard to make "autofade" happen for the music track on my video, but still could not figure out how to use it. Basically I want to end the background music when the video ends, but my music file is too long. I can cut it by "TRIM END" but I want it to end with autofade.
I did have tried to add "autofade" on the "EFFECT." But the problem is: I could not add this feature on the music track (say track 2). I was asked to create a new track and put autofade on that, so it could not work. In addition, I could not tell the difference of different "preset" autofade such as "cross fade," "instant 50" and "one second blend."
Would you please highlight the procedure? I realize you are busy, but please throw some lights in so that I can get through this last barrier for a good video editing experience. Thank you so much!

Autofade is designed for voice over work where you need to fade the background audio when many voice sections are present.
To fade out the end of a song, you'll need to use the Effect | Fade graph command to display the fade line in sections, then click on the line or drag the points to change the shape so it slopes downward for the last 5 seconds or so.
See the "Discovery Launch" section in the third track on the screen shot for an example of a section with both fade in and fade out.
