Fade out-fade in curves and Color Match as in Vegas Pro 14

Help/How To
1

Is there any Shotcut equivalent for the various fade types/curves found in Vegas Pro 14?

Here’s a video that might be relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB0I4KvK-Uo

Also, is there anything like Color Match here?

What it does: there’s a reference image/video, from where the colours are taken. In the destination image/video, the color grading is done exactly as seen from the pixels of the source video.

Thanks.

No and no

Thanks, however, it would be genuinely cool if filters like these come to Shotcut

Yes
In your favorite general image manipulation program export the LUT (color Look-Up Table) of an image or between 2 frames as a .cube,
then in Shotcut > Filters > LUT (3D) > select the .cube…
You get the color of the image in your clip!

Adjusting the intensity

To safely dial back a LUT’s intensity inside a single clip, if the LUT is too strong, Shotcut requires a specific filter “sandwich” technique. The order of your filter stack must look exactly like this:

Method 1 (filters and mask)

  1. Mask: Simple Shape (Set its Width and Height to 100% of the clip width-height(1920*1080?) so it covers the whole frame).
  2. Opacity (This is the slider you move to control the LUT intensity → e.g., 70% opacity means 70% LUT strength).
  3. LUT 3D (Your imported .cube file).
  4. Mask: Apply.

Now adjusting “Opacity” will apply to the LUT only.

Method 2 (no masking):

If managing four filters feels tedious, you can use the track blending method:

  1. Duplicate your clip onto a track directly above the original (V2 above V1).
  2. Apply the LUT 3D filter only to the top clip on V2.
  3. Add a standard Opacity filter to that same top clip.

Lowering the opacity will naturally blend the LUT-graded clip with the untouched original clip underneath it.

Thanks for this. I was trying out the keyframes in the Opacity filter, and I got the answer for Fade Curves too:

The keyframes of Shotcut have a lot of options after right-clicking. In total, there are a total of 13 options (including all the Ease ones). Which means one can have 169 (13 x 13) fade types for two clip transitions. That’s a lot more than Vegas
