What Are Fade Videos?

A fade video usually has two forms: fade in and fade out. The fade-in effect is used to introduce a new scene to the viewer smoothly and works as a seamless transition effect between two shots. While the usage of the fade-out effect commonly implies the end of the sequence or the finishing of the video. In an awesome fade video, two forms often appear in combination. What's more, this effect can also be applied to your soundtrack.
