Change Length of Fade In

How can I make a fade in from black longer than the default time? There
is not draggable option in the time line. If the fade in time is fixed,
I could create one by starting with a black clip and then crossfading
into the first clip, but I don't know how to make a black clip.

one way is to make a text clip... title overlay... use black letters on a
black background and add a single letter... apply the clip and adjust it's
length to whatever you want.
