Guide title
Fade a clip in and out with the FFmpeg fade filter
Coverage
For editors who want a timed fade from and to a solid colour on a video clip. You end with a filter setup where the start point, length and colour are set explicitly. Based on the FFmpeg manual and not run; audio is not covered.
Example
A hypothetical 240-frame clip at 24 fps with a 12-frame fade-in and fade-out; the start frame is worked out by arithmetic and no run was made.
Useful starting points
- Work out the fade-out start from the clip's total frame count minus the fade length; a wrong start leaves a hard cut.
- The filter changes only the picture, so fade the sound separately.
- Check the result by stepping through the final second of the clip.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
