Here's a simple task I find myself doing too often that takes some work, 
so I'm curious if anyone on the list has a good shortcut:

I want to gently fade a white title in on a black background and then 
gently fade out.

I can simply drop a cross dissolve on each end of the title, or I can 
put in opacity key frames on the title clip and set up a nice straight 
ramp up to fade in and down to fade out.

The problem is that a straight dissolve looks very abrupt with white on 
black. As soon as the faintest hint of white appears it looks very much 
like the title is there. The rest of the fade-in isn't very noticeable. 
This is true even if I stretch the fade in out over a larger stretch of 
time.

To fix that, I end up using key frames and setting the first and last 
opacity key frame to Bezier curve and setting up a logarithmic fade-in 
and fade out to make the title appearance and disappearance gentler.

There's got to be an easier way! I've explored Premiere's dissolves and 
haven't found one with a logarithmic (or reverse-logarithmic) dissolve. 
But maybe I'm missing something.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike Boom
