A frequently asked question is how to fade in or fade out when making a video on an iPhone.

Im going to show you how to do this on an App called Splice, but you can apply the same method in any editing app.

Let’s start with the
Splice fade in

Technically all you need is a crossfade on the first clip in the timeline…

But Splice, and many other mobile editing app don't let you do this.

The way to work around this is to drag your Playhead to the front of the timeline and add a title. 

Then delete the text from that title and you are left with a black space filler.

This dark clip is your first clip in the timeline now.

Simply shorten it to a moment or two and add a crossfade between the first two clips.

The longer your black space filler is the longer you can make the crossfade.

A crossfade that is less than .7 seconds might as well not even exist.

You may need to extend the black space filler beyond 1.5 seconds so that you can have at least 1 second of fade in.  


The longer the space, the longer the fade can be.

How  to fade out in Splice 

This process is identical to the fade in in the previous section.

Simply add a title at the end of the timeline.

Delete the text, unless you want it.

Drag it out to a couple of seconds with the trim tool.

Add a crossfade between the last two clips and make the crossfade as long as you want.

With closing crossfades you may want to drag out the transition even longer than the intro, but it all depends on the style of video.

Add a CTA

Now that you know how to add a fade out to end you may want to consider using this space for a CTA.

What’s a CTA?

A Call to Action.

It's the thing that makes your viewers do something at the end of a video.

If you want to learn more about CTAs there is a link to a video we did in 2019.

It's still very relevant today, maybe even more so.
