Stopping Effects

Hi All,

 I've encountered a situation I can't figure out. I want to be able to stop an effect that is playing back manually and have it fade out in a time, not just snap off. I've tried Sneak time but that didn't work. I tried Stop Effect with a time but that didn't work either.  As far as I understand adjusting Enter and Exit times in the Effect Editor only applies to playback from a cue.

Is there a way to do what I am looking for?

Thanks!
