I am wanting to start adding a fade from black to the front and a fade to black to the end of videos I export. I have done some short run tests but want to see if I am correct in my thinking.
I use a blank scene for the two blacks.
I want to do a video, for example, that is exactly 10 minutes long. I want it to start with 1 second of black, then a transition of 2 seconds to the "real" video. I want to end with a two second transition back to black followed by 1 second of black.
So, to run for a total of 600 seconds I think i would need to do the following
Have the blank scene, in the first playlist entry, play for 1 second.
The real scene, the second playlist entry, play for 596 seconds
The final blank scene, the third playlist entry, play for 3 seconds.
No transition time for the first entry
a 2 second transition time for the second entry (the real video content)
and a 2 second transition for the third entry the blank scene again.
Sorry to ask something that i should be able to exactly verify for myself but my slow computer will take about five hours to render at these lengths so I want to increase my chance of getting it right the first time.
Thanks for your help and for the quality of the software.
