Question 1

How do I fade audio in After Effects?

Accepted Answer

You can fade audio in After Effects by using the “Audio Levels” property and keyframes to gradually increase the volume from -∞ dB to 0 dB.

Question 2

Why does my fade-out sound abrupt?

Accepted Answer

An abrupt fade-out may result from keyframes being too close together or sudden changes in decibel levels. Adjust the keyframe spacing and decrease the fade speed gradually for a smoother effect.

Question 3

Are there presets in After Effects for audio fading?

Accepted Answer

No, After Effects doesn't include presets like “Fade Out” and “Fade In”, so you need to make them manually.

Can I sync audio fades with text animations?
