This script will help fade in and out settings in a movie. Just specify the setting, it's initial value at an initial frame and it's ending value and frame.

Usage

movie_fade setting, startFrame, startVal, endFrame, endVal [, selection ]

Examples

To fade in sticks from fully transparent to fully opaque across 60 frames do:

mset 1x60
movie_fade stick_transparency, 1, 1., 60, 0.

More complex example which involves camera motion:

fetch 1rx1, async=0
as cartoon
show surface
mset 1x80
movie.roll
movie_fade transparency,  1, 0., 40, 1.
movie_fade transparency, 41, 1., 80, 0.
