A common editing process is to add a effect to smooth transitions between clips, one such common effect is fading in and out to black. I demonstrate how to apply both to video, as well as fade in/out affects to audio.

One other thing I forgot to mention. When applying the fade effect to video, you can actually change the color of the screen the video uses to fade in/out with.
you just add a ":color=yellow" at the end of the filter, so it would look something like :
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "fade=t=in:st=0:d=5:color=blue" out.mp4
This would use a blue screen instead of a black one.

thanks found this on your site but popped over to like it

[@DonaldFeury]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Kris-to7vh]

the video helped me a lot, but it's almost impossible to see the code because its positioned behind the time bar and its purple on black.. 90% of the screen was unused after the first example. Please use an editor that isn't mixed with the terminal output for the sake of the tutorials. thanks bro

Excellent mate, thank's for sharing this!

Thank you. Great guide.
I had a question. Through this "afade" the sound should be lowered to 50% and so on for 5 seconds and again raised to 100% through the "afade". How can this be done?
