These days, everyone seems to be creating videos of their friends, family, pets and nearly everything they see or do. Good luck, and let us know how the Opacity Keyframes look.Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account That choice is up to you, and the look that you are seeking. For Opacity, I normally like Linear best, but for Title Fades, might go with Bezier, or just Ease Out/Ease In. You might find that Linear is just fine, or that you like, say Ease Out for the first, and then Ease In for the last. You can alter their Interpolation, by Rt-clicking on them. Note: the Keyframes, that you initially apply, will be Linear in their operation. Play that Clip, watching the change in Opacity. Render that part of your Timeline by setting the WAB (Work Area Bar) over just that part of the Timeline and hit Enter. Add the first Keyframe with the little clock next to Opacity, where you want the Clip to have the last of its 100% Opacity, then navigate to the point that you want it to have 0% Opacity (black).

You will want to twirl open Opacity, to see the slider. Then, just like you did with your Audio, with its Keyframes, add Opacity Keyframes. If you do not see the Effects Control Panel, WITH its little Timeline, look at the upper-right of the Effects Control Panel, and click on the little "clock" to Show Keyframes. Select your Clip, click on the Effects Tab, and then Edit Effects. Do a Save_As, and increment your Project's file name, so you do not overwrite what you have, and so that the new Project stays Open. It also appears that your Opacity rubberband is showing 100% Opacity. It appears that your CTI (we'll use the existing nomenclature, at least for now) is in about the middle of your Transition, which I assume is a Dip-to-Black. The red line is the Edit Line, and is attached to the CTI. The "playhead" is called the CTI (Current Time Indicator) and is the little blue 5-sided polygon.
