Overview

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. For example, to fade in sticks from fully transparent to fully opaque across 60 frames do,

movie_fade stick_transparency, 1, 1., 60, 0.

For help, type,

# syntax

movie_fade ?

# usage

help movie_fade

import string
import math
#
# Movie fades work great, when there is only one mdo command
# per frame.  mdo does NOT save a stack of commands per frame
# as one might thing it just consistently updates itself.
