• How to create a ttf
• crossfade example with ffmpeg (audio and video):

/opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -i 1.mov -i 2.mov -f lavfi -i color=black -filter_complex \
"[0:v]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p,fade=t=out:st=4:d=1:alpha=1,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[va0];\

• highest quality:

/opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -i 1.mov -i 1.mov -f lavfi -i color=black -filter_complex \
"[0:v]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p,fade=t=out:st=4:d=1:alpha=1,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[va0];\

• compress video with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 output.mp4

crf is typically 24 through 30. Higher numbers are smaller files and lower quality.
