    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Can anyone tell me please if there is a way, using iMovie ('09 or '11), of taking a video clip and having it fade away to nothing.

At the end of a long video I have edited, I really wanted to superimpose text saying "The End" on the final 15 sec clip (I've done that okay) and then have that final clip gradually fade away to nothing.

Any way of doing this?

Thanks.

Ian

Add a dissolve to the end. Set the dissolve to however many seconds you want it to be. Without a link to another video, it just fades to black.
