This is done using the basic fading effect. Now lets move to the more
"advanced" fading effects.

Advanced Fading Effects

Now we move on to the more advanced techniques of fading. Consisting of longer but more better looking fades. Fading in black backrounds. And fading with different colors. So lets get started.

Part1-Advanced Fade
The "advanced" fade is a longer fade that uses more colors to it to create a more smoother and more realistic fade effect. You will be shown how to do this.

That looks more realistic then what we just did in Basic Effects. If your wondering "How do I get those extra colors? There not there!"
This is true. There not in the basic colors gallery. But they are in the custom colors gallery. This is what you have to do to get those colors.

1.First you begin with the basic method, make your stk the light grey color.
2.Second continue with the basic method and pick the dark grey color.
Now heres where we get our colors.First go to the color menu as so.

Click the button and you will be opened up the the color menu.

Again, yeah the colors are there. Well heres how we get them. Click the "Define Custom Colors" button.

This is what happens when you click it -_-.

ZOMG!?!?!? WTH DID THAT COME FROM!?!?!?!? Its the magical power of buttons. . So now that you see it how do we get those colors well. The 2 colors we need are these.

The way we get these colors you click and hold the dial on the the right side of the color window and take it to whatever color you want.
Heres Dark-Grey x1.

And heres Dark-Grey x2

Now you have the colors YOU MUST DO ONE MORE THING. Click the button to the right that says "Ok".

So now we have all the colors we need. So now we can continue.
