English term or phrase: fade one in
As I was putting these photos together I did not have a map planned, so you don’t have it in sort of your packet of pictures that I sent you. But I'm going to fade one in later when I make the actual videos.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I am looking for an explanation in English of the term

Asker: This is text from an audio conversation. I agree that at face value "fade one in" means to "gradually add in", however, that does not seem to make sense in the sentence so I am thinking it might be some kind of slang expression. (Note: "sort of" are extraneous words from conversation rather than a cut/paste error so in either case can be ignored)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Sheila Wilson: Agree with the explanation. I think the words "sort of" are a cut/paste error

  -> Thanks Sheila.
agree  Armorel Young: basically "add one to the video" - fading in will make it appear gradually rather than suddenly, so is just a particular "adding" technique

  -> Thanks Armorel - exactly as you say.

neutral  DLyons: It could well mean this rather than my suggestion. I think we just don't have enough information to decide between them.
