Stop.
You're mixing too many things here.
1. The 'Stop' tool in timeline is just for the timeline itself, it stops the hole timeline.
2. In my opinion you should NOT use the generator, if you do not know, what each function does. If you know how to use it correctly, you can create complex scenes very easy. You COULD do a color fade, of course, but I would recommend using the normal editor for normal color fades.(I dont mean chaotic strobing-color-movements
)
3. The only two things you have to change in the editor: Change the little grey symbol under each channel from 'step' to 'fade'. You will see which is which.
And also
activate the
unused channels by moving them up and then down again. (E.g. if you want to fade from blue to green, move green up to 255 and move blue up to any value higher than 0 and then move it down to 0.)
The length of the step is the fade time.
