# Universal Crossfade

The Universal Crossfade widgets can be found in the far left part of the Timeline Editor window section.

This function allows you to execute a crossfade from any point to another in the Timeline. If the Playhead jumps from any location to another on the Timeline, a smooth transition will occur. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The number and type of Clips (Media, FX, Input Device) being read at each location does not matter; the system will still execute a smooth crossfade between the two states.
{% endhint %}
