Applying transition effects to just the overlay track

Post by aj327 »

I thought this would be fixed with version 6 but I guess it isn't or maybe I'm still just doing it wrong. How do you apply a transition effect to just the overlay track. For instance I want to apply dissolve to an animated gif that I'm using in my overlay track but when I do it gets applied to everything and even the primary track blacks out and then dissolves back in. So frustrating. I switched over to final cut pro because of this but love the ease of use of VSP so I bought version 6 hoping this issue had been fixed. Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

when I wanted to put a transition between two images in the overlay track this is what I did :-

Start a brand new project and put the images/video that you want to use in the TOP video track - apply transitions as required.

Render out a new DV video of that project only.

go back to my original project and put the new video with transitions in it into the overlay track - continue with project.
