 - builds a black intro still (matching the first media item’s resolution) when `--intro-logo` is provided, scales the logo to `INTRO_LOGO_TARGET_HEIGHT_RATIO` of the frame height (75 % by default), shows it at `INTRO_LOGO_DEFAULT_ALPHA` opacity (1.0 = fully opaque) from frame 0, and keeps it on screen for `audio_fade_in + INTRO_LOGO_EXTRA_HOLD` seconds (with defaults this is `DEFAULT_AUDIO_FADE_IN + INTRO_LOGO_EXTRA_HOLD`, i.e. 8 s) before allowing the first crossfade; the same clip is appended at the end so the last real scene crossfades back into the logo-on-black frame

When `INTRO_TITLE_FADE_IN_ENABLED` is `True` it fades in/out using `INTRO_TITLE_FADE_LENGTH` (1 s); otherwise it appears instantly and only fades out (if `INTRO_TITLE_FADE_LENGTH` > 0).

 - fades the first real clip in with the `--video-fade` duration (default `DEFAULT_VIDEO_FADE`, currently 1 s) while leaving the logo intro instant-on when `INTRO_VIDEO_FADE_ENABLED` is `False`; when a logo intro is present, the reusable outro clip removes the need for a final global fade-out, so the crossfade into the outro handles the closing visuals while audio still follows `DEFAULT_AUDIO_FADE_OUT`
