Fading drawings in and out

In most cases, drawings are valid only for a small portion of a movement. You can use the Fade in/out function to display a drawing only during such a portion. To do this, proceed as follows:

1.	Position the playhead at the desired position.

2.	Draw an object on the video

3.	Step a few frames backward (using the [ctrl] + left and right arrows)

4.	Right-click on the object and select Fade in from the context menu.

5.	Select how quickly the drawing appears from the context submenu.

6.	Step a few frames forward.

7.	Repeat the steps 4. and 5. to set the Fade out.

8.	Deselect the drawing and play the video from the beginning. The drawing will only show in the defined portion.

Use this function if you want to publish a new video that contains drawings that fade in/out. If you want to analyse key moments of a performance we recommend you use the key positions (see Analyzing key positions) which can be printed or published in an interactive Dartfish Mediabook.
