,fade=t=out:st=effectDurationInSeconds:d=3:alpha=1,scale=imageWidthximageHeight,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v0];
[1:v]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p,fade=t=in:st=0:d=effectDurationInSeconds:alpha=1,scale=imageWidthximageHeight
,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS+4/TB[v1];[black][v0]overlay[over1];[over1][v1]overlay=format=yuv420[outv]" -map "[outv]" outvideo.mp4
