How to correctly deal with abrupt sound cuts when working with sound samples in a DAW?

Question

I am new at DAW's and sound editing and have trouble dealing with abrupt end of sounds. What I mean is that, with the orchestra samples I use (from VSCO-2 CE), there are different options (Sustain, Pizzicato, Tremolo ...). Some are short sounds and the end of the sound is smooth if you let it play out. For the longer sounds that lasts for the full duration of the note, when they end, it sounds wrong because it stops too suddenly. I tried adding reverb and the problem is less noticeable but I have no idea if this is the proper way to deal with this. How should I proceed to soften the ending of long held notes ? Edit : small video to illustrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnT5nGwBhD0 At first we hear a sound cut abruptly (long held note). And then a short sound that I let fully play out and therefore no abrupt cut.

If you have access to the ASDR of the instrument then you can simply adjust the release so the end of the notes fall off and not cut abruptly.
