That's a pet peeve of mine with Premiere (CS6) that I assume will be fixed in
each upgrade. CC maybe? Doubt it. I'm dealing with 3 layers of dissolves
right now in fact. The workaround for a fade to
black that seems to work the best for me is to make a "New Item" of Black
Video, put it alone on the top track and dissolve to it while your other video
clips dissolve out or dip to black also.
Watch on Premiere's waveform if you haven't yet. A 10 frame fade sometimes is
actually 6 frames according to the scope. Or see that ramping down goes
smoothly down to 40 before then jumping to full
black on the last frame.
