Final Cut Pro: Dip-to-Color Vs. Fade-to-Color

In Final Cut, sometimes you want a clip to fade in or out from a specific color. Like white, say. If you’re just using a single layer, you should use the Dip-to-Color effect. But the problem is that you’ll see the color in the middle of the transition, as opposed to the beginning or end like you’d expect. In order to fix the situation, just change the ‘Start’ or ‘End” parameter of the effect to be 50%. That’ll basically convert the ‘Dip-to-Color’ into a ‘Fade-to-Color’. Who uses a Dip-to-Color anyways?
