Fade

An animation that changes opacity to show or hide an element while keeping its position and shape.

Press 'Show · hide' and compare the photo's changing opacity with 'Instant'.

Often confused with

• Fade in / Fade out: A film transition from or to black rather than an opacity change in an individual element
• Dissolve: A film transition that overlaps two shots rather than showing or hiding one element
