I'm starting a new video and I want to fade to an image from a black screen. I have found the toggle that allows me to do this... but I seem to have only 1 choice in fade types. I want to know how to change the type of fade.
Assuming you are using Magix Movie Studio and not Vegas movie Studio.
There is only one type of 'Fade In', however you can use almost any transition to start from black and bring in/up the image as shown below - you will not have some of the transitions in the video clip - they are my own custom transitions.
As you can see from the timeline image below if the image/video object is not the first object in the timeline then you need either a gap, or a black image inserting between objects.
