Quick and easy crossfade

... With your "extreme mismatch" example. ...

Thanks. That's what I thought it would do.

I agree that in most cases getting the two selections reasonably close will work just fine.

Sadly, the effect is not very vi-user friendly.

It works for recently pasted clips but there is still the tab shortcut missing to navigate from clip to clip.

Sadly, the effect is not very vi-user friendly.

You may find the "Crossfade Tracks" version easier to work with. That version now allows preview and is the more powerful of the two effects.

Some brief usage hints in the file comments:

;; Instructions:
;; Place two audio clips into the same track.
;; Select (approximately) the same amount of audio from the
;; end of one clip and the start of the other.

For the Manual, something like "Alternatively, select a region in one track starting near the end of one song and include approximately the same length of audio at the start of the next song."

I think it's important to be clear there does not need to be a split line between the songs for that case.

;; Apply the effect.
;; The selected regions will be crossfaded.
;;
;; Note, the audio clips do not need to be touching. Any
;; white-space between the clips is ignored.
;;
;; If the selected region is continuous audio (no splits),
;; the the first and last halves of the selected audio
;; will be crossfaded.

For the Manual, it may be good to point out that audio that was in the middle will be lost, not mixed in somehow. This was a common lack of understanding when I tried this effect out on less able users in the past.
