This tutorial will cover adding a fade in from black for the cutscene. The first thing that you need to do is add a UI->Canvas. Then add a UI->Image to the Canvas. Set the color of the image to black. Set the image to Stretch and set its left, right, top, and bottom all to 0. No switch to the Canvas and set the Render Mode to Screen Space — Camer. Then set the UI Scale Mode to scale with screen size. Your Game window show now be completely black.

Next, go to your cutscene timeline and add an animation track. Add your new image to the track.

Now start recording for the Animation Track. At 0 seconds go to the image and adjust the Alpha setting so that it is at its highest, 255. Then move about half a second in and change the Alpha of the image to 0.

This will create the fade in effect. Now the cutscene is looking more professional.
