Anyways, may be we can improve the documentation to explain that offset
need to be such to allow duration seconds to create the transition.
Not to be unkind, but that should be self-evident- if you consider a more
simple case of a fade-out and want it to go from 100% to 0% in 4 seconds,
you must have at least 4 seconds of video -to- fade.
I don't understand why you need two parameters,
duration and offset. Why not simply define the duration, and have ffmpeg
calculate the offset as videoDuration minus transitionDuration? Or at least,
why not make the default of offset to be videoDuration - transitionDuration?
Because either of those could be wrong- for instance, two long running
sources and fading back and forth between them. Defining offset/duration
gives better control of the effect. Additionally, ffmpeg cannot always know
the full duration of a source (e.g. a stream), so it doesn't have numbers to
calculate with.
Something else to consider is that all inputs start at the same time, so if
you want to fade between two clips, you have to pad or delay the second so
that it starts at the beginning of the fade. There will be examples of this
if you search the list archive.
Later,
z!
