How to add fade in and fade out filter in ShotCut

In this tutorial I will be showing you how to add the fade in and fade out filters to your video track.
step 1: open video file
step 2: make a video track
step 3: drag the video clip onto the video track
step 4: open the filter option window by selecting filters from the top tool bar
step 5: click the plus sign
step 6: select the fade in and fade out for video
That's it. All you have to do now in encode it; before that you can always change the duration of the fade. Note that Shotcut does not allow you to add more than 1 fade in or fade out filter per video clip.

Fade In and Out
Fade in and out filters have been added as of version 14.03.01. There are 2 video filters - Fade From Black and Fade To Black - plus 2 new audio filters: Fade In and Fade Out. The video filters support GPU processing if you can use that.

As you can see in the screenshot, fade conrols are available on the shots directly on the timeline making it very easy and convenient to add the filters and adjust audio+video in a tandem/ganged fashion. Simply move the mouse pointer to the top-left corner or top-right corner of a particular shot to make a pulsating circle appear. Then, click and drag the circle control horizontally to drag-out a fade rectangle. But that does not mean you have to use the timeline to utilize these new filters. If you are simply working with a clip or playlist project, you can still apply and use these filters.
And before you ask, no, this update does not include or support cross-fading audio or cross-dissolving video. That is coming next.

Thanks. Also, I saw on one site that if you have multiple video segments in your longer video, you can go to the top corner of where the videos meet and you'll see a pulsating circle. If you click and hold that and drag it, it will also fade in and fade out.

Thank you for your tutorials. I am a total beginner, but feel like a pro with your explanation :-)

Much kudos.

I'm thinking of using fade in/out in my next video.
I have in my head how I could made a rest fade in, fade out and then fade in another text and so on.

Keep up the good work. I thanks for the help.

I am trying to add a fade out filter to my video but whilst Shotcut says it has added the filter, when I play the video in the preview pane, nothing has happened. Same for audio fade out.

[JoaoEspancaBacelar]

you can just click and drag on each top corner of the video segment to do fades... wait until you see a small circle.

How about fade in/out to white? Is it possible in Shotcut?? Nice video by the way!

[felstrikes]

I am using version 17.6 and unfortunately there are no such filters. Because?

[ShineBlush]

How do you fade to white instead of black?

[Organon]

How do you "speed up" and "slow down" tracks, Raqib?

[coreymoney]

What if you don't want to fade all the way out to 0 volume? Sometimes you just want to fade down to say 2 of 10. (10 being maximum volume; 0 being no volume). Conversely how do you fade back up from 2 to
