AVCHD Add Fade In

[ron spencer]

I have a Canon Vixia HF G30. Sadly it does not do any fade-ins or fade-outs...bah.

So all I really want is to be able to add a fade in to the first file and a fade out to the last file.

For example, say I have:

00000.mts
00001.mts
00002.mts
00003.mts

I would like to add a fade in to 00000.mts and a fade out to 00003.mts

This is just to make the video look a bit more "formal". I'm not interested in doing any other editing. I can join the files later into one big MTS or M2TS file later.

I tried virtualdub from my DV days, but it doesn't seem to want to output a MTS file...

any ideas on this? Not sure I want a full authoring package that will re-encode the audio....but oh well. Suggest away

thanks

So it's okey to reconvert the entire video to add a fadein/out? Some advanced nle editors can do called smart rendering and just reconvert the fades.

Are you looking for free software? Then could you make an avisynth script ( http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Fade ) together with an encoder, avidemux(very very buggggggggy fades, output as mp4/mkv), windows live movie maker (only wmv.,mp4? output).

And you can output as mp4/mkv/ts(h264 video) and remux to mts with tsmuxer later.
