How can I use a fade effect in the middle of the movie?

[Tsubaru]

I use VirtualDub, no Premier, Vegas or whatever, my PC can't take then.

I have two fader filters here, both they only fades in the beginning or ending of the movie.
I want a filter that can fade out and fade back in the middle of the movie, so I can join scenes smoothly.

I would be able to do that if one of this 2 filters could fade in or out, in a specific part of the movie, without blacking out all the rest, or everything before the fade.

For example:
I have a 2 minutes movie, and I want to join with another 2 minutes movie. I want the fader to go out in the end of the first movie, and then fade in on the beginnig of the second movie, but that is impossible, every time I try to do that, one of the movies gets totally blacked out.

Any help?

Try Windows Movie Maker.

It's sort of a work-around, but you can give it a shot:

Cut the movie/scene in two at your desired fade point. Then insert a fade out at the end of scene 1 and a fade in at the beginning of the second scene.

Or you can try one of the high end trialware editors here: https://www.videohelp.com/tools?listuser=&orderby=Type&s=17#17 . Try the Adobe, Canopus, or Vegas editors.

You could do it with AVISynth. Something like:

avisource("whatever.avi")
part1 = trim(0,13000)
part2 = trim(13001,0)
fadeout(part1,250)+fadein(part2,250)

You might also want to check out the dissolve filter, plus there are plugins for wipes, etc.
