# Scene Fade / Delay Path
With Fade / Delay Path settings, more complex scene calls such as "*Move in Black*" can be realized.\
A FadePath describes how a single channel behaves when fading in and out of a scene. The delay time and the fade-in time can be set as a percentage of the scene fade time.
The in-fade and out-fade behavior of each scene in the repository or within a sequence (show) can be adjusted individually for each parameter.
To do this, right-click on a scene button or in the Sequencer on the corresponding scene and then select "**Edit Scene Fade Path**".
In the upper line, you can choose whether you want to set the fade behavior for the start or for the end of a scene.
Order by Fixture combines all the same function types of a scene. Changes to the Delay and Fade faders change the fader rate or delay rate of all the same functions.
Order by Function shows all functions of all channels contained in the scene.
{% hint style="danger" %}
The channel delay is used for effect runs and has no use for the fade path

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.depence.com/depence-show-and-animation/depence-repository/depence-scenes/scene-fade-delay-path.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
