Description

The drawtext filter currently does not allow fading in or fading out of text. It'd be a useful feature to have, but at the moment, I think this can only be achieved by rendering ASS effects, pre-generating the subtitle text with ImageMagick (or something similar), or a super complex blend filter.

I could imagine that this is easily implemented with two additional options:

  • fade in duration
  • fade out duration

You need to set an expression for the fontcolor alpha component.
