Description
Section titled “Description”The Fade keyword is a helping keyword which is used to indicate fade times.
As a helping keyword for playback functions (for example Goto), this keyword sets the time which is used to execute the function.
If it is used as a starting keyword, Fade will apply individual timing in the programmer for the current selection and attributes.

| As long as the command starts with a function, the Fade keyword and the fade value can be randomly used within the command. |
To set the fade times for cues, read more in the CueFade keyword.
