Fade Transition No Longer Fading Both Video & Audio, But ONLY Video.

I am having a major issue with the Fade Transition in PowerDirector 365 v 24.0.1.1302.0. The way the Fade transition used to work was I would drag the Fade transition between two video clips. It would then automatically fade BOTH the Video and Audio portions of the videos. See my pics below. The first pic shows how the transition used to look. It would show the video transition in the light blue colored box on the top and the audio transition, which it called Constant Gain, in the dark blue box on the bottom. Now, when I drag Fade between the video clips, it ONLY fades the video and does not touch the audio. As a result, when you playback the two videos that are faded together, you hear a sudden change between the audio of the two tracks, which sounds terrible. How can this be fixed? The old version of PowerDirector 365 that had Fade working correctly was 23.5.1811.0. I just upgraded to 24.0.1302.0 and it no longer works. I also no longer seem to be able to go back to version 23.5.1811.0. Is there any way to get back to version 23.5.1811.0? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Absolutely mindless change. I wonder if the people coding this abomination have ever edited a video. The video cross fade with audio automatically engaging and matching was a perfect way to blow thru cuts. Now…the more I use this 365 the less it makes sense. There should be an option.

I believe this behavior has changed in PD for a long time since 2024, and it makes more sense that the video transition does not affect audio part concurrently.
If you would really like to fade audio too, add audio transition to audio part additionally. Or, select the fade in/out option in the Audio tab at the editing panel of each video clip separately.

QC 2.0 How do you add an audio transition to the audio part of the video file? I do not see any option to add an audio transition. The only way I can do it is if I manually drag one video clip over another video clip and select "crossfade". This gives me the same effect as how the "Fade" transition used to work, but it is much more time consuming as I have to do it sometimes dozens of times as I have dozens of video clips. It just makes no sense to me that it was determined that not having the fade transition affect both the video and audio portion of the video clip at the same time was somehow an improvement. If some people didn't want both the audio and video to fade at the same time, then there should be an option to fade either video only, audio only or both at the same time. This is really frustrating and I will likely be switching to another video editor in the future.
