I learned something. I'd never actually thought about it before. You can do that with Pinnacle Studio but it's a bit less obvious -- I'd never seen the second video/audio tracks till just now. The help tells you how to do J-cuts and L-cuts, but you can't crossfade directly unless you drop in a dissolve transition. You can make it so short it's hardly noticeable, though. Here's a <a>dissolve with cross-fade</a> set to 1 second; it could be shorter. There are also separate tracks for titles, sfx and music. Wow, this was good, Bran. I learned something.

The principle is the same for most software, though. I think Vegas is the best for amateurs, since it's fairly powerful without being too complicated. Yeah, I used Sony Vegas for the screenshots.

It looks like you're using Sony Vegas? The few movies I’ve made seemed very cutty and rigid and could probably benefit from editing like this. It looks like you’re using Sony Vegas?
