What do you mean by make the darkness fade brighter? Like fade to white instead of black?

So.......*tries to re-cooperate thoughts* you want to fade it to gray......or just make it more transparent?

He wants to fade it so the opacity isn't 0%.. but like.. 15% or so. Yah, just DON'T fade it all the way.

.. try this, open your Paint program and "fill" the New Picture with the Color/Grey that you want at the size of your Video ( 704 X 396 .. whatever! ). Next, once you have that Color/Grey that you want -- enter it on the time line for the duration you need and make an AVI out of it. That way you, not the FADE, can control what it will FADE to.

Easier -- don't bother with the Paint program. Open the Media Generators page (lower left), select Solid Color, and drag the black image to the timeline. It will automatically be set to your project size. Change the color to the shade of gray that you want: drag the arrow on the right side of the color map UP. Use this solid color picture like any other clip; i.e. cross-fade from the other clip to this one.

If you want *all* fade outs to go to this color, create the color pic and put it on a video track that is below all other tracks. Then make it as long as your project. A fade to black is actually a fade to transparent. That means any lower clip will show through.

Even easier. Don't fade ALL the way to black.

duplicate the clip - set the duplicates brightness/contrast/opacity really low then have the original fade into the duplicate

How to not fade out to 0% in vegas:
Make your crossfade as always.
Go to the beginning of the crossfade. At the track the event is on, click the red gear at the left. it should say "automation mode", select "show automation mode" or something along that line. Where before was opacity, you should now see opacity and fading. Without moving your cursor, "click" the current location of the slider (100%) so that it makes a keyframe there. Then, move to the end of your fade, and drag the opacity slider on the track to .. 25%. Go one frame to the right, and return it to 100% so that later clips are ok. Now, remove the dummy crossfade you used to position the keyframes at the beginning just like you always do. Then, you can hide those annoying lines by unselecting show automation mode.

Alternatively, yes, Purge's method is also perfectly fine if you really hate the automation mode.

yet another method (just to be special) get ur clip, extend it by a bit (even if its just repeating footage doesnt matter) fade it to black the whole way, so where it ends is the opacity u were after, do a quick 'render to new track' (if its a single clip will take like 30 seconds) then take the new rendered track from wherever u saved it into ur media file, chuck ur new clip where u want it and just remove the end bit again.
