Corel VideoStudio 2018 track transparency doesn't work??

[jacob_w14]

So my issue is that I would like to simply fade in an overlay track. To do this I changed the track transparency and key framed it to go from 0 opacity at 100 as shown in the image attached. My issue is that each time I try and do this, the opacity stays on what it is set to at the start, e.g if I set it to 50 it will stay at 50 through the whole clip even though I have key framed it, and as shown in the image when it is opacity 0, it just shows a black screen as that is my background for the video track.

Why don't you just use a black matte clip at the start and insert a lengthy cross fade transition between the black clip and your first video clip?

Customized Motion is your friend.

This was really just to demonstrate my issue. The idea is to fade between two clips without a black background and it wouldn't work like this either so I just put this as it seemed easier as a question.

Customise Motion does allow us to set a fade-in to our clips, as well as many other effects otherwise try the A/B fx crossfade, will also fade-in our clips

I don't understand what you are after and to what track did you apply transparency? it should work.
