Automatically Fade Your Soundtrack

Now that you've added songs to your Soundtrack, let's take a look at one of
the best ways to wrap up a show -by making your soundtrack fade out at
the same time your show ends.

Later in this chapter you'll learn how to edit your Soundtrack with more
precision, but for now, let's take a look at how ProShow can do this for you
automatically.

To Automatically Fade Music at the End of a Show

1. Double click on the Soundtrack bar to open the soundtrack
options for your show.

2. On the right, locate the Fade Soundtrack at end of Show pane
and click the check box to turn the option on.

3. From the dropdown menu list, choose how you want your fade to
behave by selecting a Duration option. There are three to choose
from:

• Duration of Last Transition: This will match the fade out to
the length of the last transition in your show.

• Duration of Last Slide: When choosing this option, your
soundtrack will begin to fade out as soon as the last slide in
your show begins.

• Custom Duration: This option allows you to create a custom
fade out length. This is not based on any slide or transition
time. Instead, enter in a number of seconds, and the fade out
at that many seconds before the end of the show.
