another question, i see amv's with black "flashes" or white flashes but black, but same effect. i can't seem to find a fade in from black. i tried the color black but it failed pretty bad, or i'm doing something wrong.

I think what your looking for is the fade in/out from black transition.Do a crossfade between the two clips where you want the black flash like this

then just drag the transition into the crossed area

to get a crossfade(incase you didnt know because I didnt at first) you simply drag 1 clip over another clip :)

Just to clarify for those that may have a problem with this, be sure that Automatic Crossfading is on:

Ok me again with another transition question.

What I want is basically the "Left to Right" 3D blinds transition but modified slightly.Instead of the 4 bars it uses,I want 3.And I also want to make it slower.And also instead of the 1 clip I want 3 different "bars" of clips.

Any idea how I'd go about doing that?I was thinking of having to mask out the bars from the clips I wanted first and placing that on another layer.But then how'd I make it flip over like that transition but only slower?

another question, i see all these amv's with these lines going across the screen to the beat. they're 2 parallel lines that come in and turn around. i've been trying to figure this out but i'm stumped.

I answered that here already, start thinking in layers, you will need 3 video lines to put more than one bar there.

oo thanks!!!I tried doing it but it takes ages to make sure the masked out bars are the exact same size and there's this weird flicker when I use the transition like it wasnt complete or something..
