  3. Choose Output Groupings from the Special menu.

  4. Click the Group button.

  5. Click either :

    • FadeMet90000.gifsets all fader polarities to positive, providing linked movement that isidentical

    • Cross FadeMet90000.gifsets every other fader to a different polarity, which causes every other faderto move in the opposite direction of the previous fader, thereby creating acrossfade

  1. Click OK.

The polarity setting can be overridden in this dialog box by selecting thepolarity button and choosing positive or negative. Polarities determine whichdirection faders move when a fader it is grouped with is moved. If the polaritiesare the same, they move in the same direction; if they are different, theymove in different directions.

Notice that faders in each group appear in a different shade of gray, or in adifferent color if you have a color monitor.
