The above link points to gradual exposure. Use the "Expo. Presets" feature to toggle between a normal exposure and a very dark one. Enable both, press the shortcut key et voilà! Fade in/out effect, with configurable duration.

The only difference from your request.... it's not triggered automatically when starting to record. You'll need to press two buttons.
(...)

I did the test... 'Gradual Expo.' flickers sometimes but for me is alright...

Now i see what the problem is and ***what feature is needed***:
1) 'Expo.Presets' now works only with separate keys: 'PressSET' , 'PressINFO'... but there is no 'REC_key' on the list:
[I mean... REC_key as new dual function: start record and simultaneously trigger: change expo. preset]

I think 'Expo.Presets' possible options should now look like this:
OFF
PressSET
PressINFO
PressSET +[REC_key(+PressSET)]
PressINFO +[REC_key(+PRessINFO)]

^This can not be a lonely rec-combo-key, due to the need to prepare the screen state first (with PressSET/PressINFO before recording).

Maybe better... there is something to add inside 'REC key' function which is almost empty now...
...I don't know maybe new 'REC key' option like: 'Change/Switch Expo.Presets'?


When You choose:
'Expo.Presets': PressSET and then 'REC key': Change/Switch Expo.Presets
...all will work together!

I think 'REC key' or 'Expo.Presets' needs upgrade to make easier to use FADEIN / FADEOUT on video record. 

Any chance to do it?

Maybe now is the best time to implement real time fade in/out (to black) on start / stop video record option?

*** Or maybe new simple idea: fake fade in/out at TV/hdmi Playback? ***

^Everything to make all short record files like "one long film"...
Also will be possible avoid advanced postprocess everytime for this simple primary option.

Is it too hard to make?

Hi ~a1ex it's not good solution 

Hello ~Walter...

It makes Your canon more like high-end video cam device and make it possible to *avoid postprocess*. This is great for tourism purposes - smooth transit between very frequent, different scenes like day and night, pool and desert, static - dynamic... Without this basic fadein/out effect everything looks cheap and forces you to post tweak all and everything. 

Is it possible to implement new, real-time video option: FADEIN / FADEOUT (to black) - with simple in-out time duration setting?
