Where can you create custom fade shapes for problematic edits?

• A. In the waveform editor
• B. In the crossfades dialog box
• C. In the mixer window
• D. In the project browser

Answer: (B)

Custom fade shapes are controlled where two audio regions meet, using the crossfades dialog box. This tool lets you set the fade length and choose the exact shape of the fade curve for the boundary between clips, giving you a tailored, non-linear transition that can smooth out problematic edits and prevent clicks or pops. The waveform editor handles basic clip-level fades and waveform editing but doesn’t provide the dedicated cross-region fade shaping you need. The mixer window is for level and automation work, not for shaping how two clips blend. The project browser is just for finding and importing files, not editing fades.
