Transition between two segments?

[yetanotherlogin]

Hello

I'm using 2.6.8 on Windows, and would like to join two MP4 videos with some transition between the two segments.

Video > Filters > Transform > Fade in/out only offers "Fade type = Out/In".

Is there a way to transition from one video to another?

Thank you.

With avidemux with re-encoding you can only
load separately
- 1st video, fade out  at end to join, save video
- 2nd video, fade in at begin to join, save video

Load 1st saved video, append 2nd saved video.
At the join of the 2 videos
- before end of fade out 1st video, mark keyframe (up/down cursor key only) [A ]
- past start of fade in 2nd video, mark keyframe (up/down cursor key only) [ B]
- cut the marked sectio out: simultaneous keypress [Ctrl][X]
You would now have a very basic fade/in fade/out transition.
If you need more elegant transitions you need another editing program like  Windows Movie Maker, ...
