MKV editor to fade out video?

[OliverTwist]

Does anyone know of a simple editor to apply the most basic fade out (not fade in/out simultaneously but optional in *or* out fx) to an MKV video and outputting as a lossless MKV file?

On the recommendation of someone on the forum, I downloaded mkvmerge GUI v.6.4.1 and figure out how to use it to extract chapters and trim video files.

Now I'd like to figure out how to fade in or out from chapters that I've separated.

Thanks!!

Doing a fade requires re-encoding, which is outside the scope of MakeMKV.

It would also not be a lossless process.

Adobe Premiere Pro does the kind of work you are looking for.

Thank you, crowfax.

Unfortunately, Premiere Pro is the one Adobe software that I don't have!

For a simple fade-out, surely Premiere Elements and/or iMovie would suffice? There should also be some free alternatives…

Have you considered OpenShot? It is open source and they have a "live" bootable disc that you can use (e.g., edit your files) and then get back to whatever O/S you're using (because you didn't specify).

Good luck!

Thanks so much, I'm not familiar with OpenShot but I'll look into it. I'm running Windows Vista btw.

I'll give it a shot and report back!

Thanks again
