Thank you all.

May my 'Pineapples of anal distortion' lose their way when they head to your homes.

I'm sure I'll be back with more 'noob questions.' But rest assured...I shall consult the guides first!

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.
