My copy of melt doesn't play things.  I suppose I could rebuild it,
but I don't really feel any need for it to play stuff at this point.

I don't get understand. That plays 100 frames of black, then fades
from noise into my clip over the next 100 frames.  I'm trying to to
fade from black/silence into my clip and then fade back to
black/silence.

I've got a bunch of clips that I want to concatenate with fade-in from
black/silence and fade-out to black/silence at the beginning/end of
each clip.

It doesn't support the flavor of Linux that I run.  I could probably
get it to work eventually, but I don't really feel like fighting with
another GUI video editor (I've already wasted days on Openshot and
Cinelerra).

I don't think my copy of melt does XML either (I should rebuild it to
include XML support).
