The number of seconds for which the fade effect has to last. At the end of the fade-in effect the output video will have the same intensity as the input video, at the end of the fade-out transition the output video will be filled with the selected color.

Examples
-
Fade in the first 30 frames of video:
fade=in:0:30
The command above is equivalent to:
fade=t=in:s=0:n=30
-
Fade out the last 45 frames of a 200-frame video:
fade=out:155:45 fade=type=out:start_frame=155:nb_frames=45
-
Fade in the first 25 frames and fade out the last 25 frames of a 1000-frame video:
fade=in:0:25, fade=out:975:25
-
Make the first 5 frames yellow, then fade in from frame 5-24:
fade=in:5:20:color=yellow
-
Fade in alpha over first 25 frames of video:
fade=in:0:25:alpha=1
-
Make the first 5.5 seconds black, then fade in for 0.5 seconds:
fade=t=in:st=5.5:d=0.5
