Hi everyone. Ever have this problem? Sometimes when I'm editing a project with several layers of video (like ads with images, graphics, and text all at the same time) and I want to fade to black, it's not easy. If you add fades to each layer, they never seem to fade at the same time.
I figured out a workaround, by adding a black shape over all other layers, and then keyframing the opacity to make the black shape fade in and cover everything else up. It worked well, but was a bit of a hassle.
So I created a motion project to make it easier. Check it out. Because it's a video layer, it's actually a generator rather than a transition. To use it, unzip the file and put it in your generator folder. When you want to use it, just add it above all the other layers. If you want the fade out to go faster or slower, just grab the edge of the generator clip and make it longer or shorter.
Not only will this let you fade all the layers in your project, but I've included a color picker so you can easily make it fade to white, red, or some other color. Hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
