Quote 6 minutes and 43 seconds waiting and I can now reply. An afterschool Y7 IT club could probably sort the forum out! Anyway...

Why don't you have the title in the title timeline?

Try just a video clip in the video timeline and the title in the title timeline.

p.s. - the way that layers are implemented is IMO perfectly logical. Think of a stack of photographs. Put one on the table and now put another one on top of it - can you see the first one? Cut a hole in the middle of the second one you put down - now you can see part of the first one and so on...

The forum software is seriously messed up somehow at the moment. I can't post anything (hope this comes through).

Let's continue this some other time (hopefully tomorrow), sadly I got things to do right now.

Thank you so much for your time and patience. Read you soon!

Quote I did as you showed in your picture. Here's the result: (and no, I deleted all other tracks, there are no black stills below or anything, and I even unchecked all remaining tracks)

In the video you can see: The title fade makes the video track go black immediately.

O well....



I made two videos: "checked and unchecked" is according to your suggestion.

Video "test3" is to show that I guess the best way is to slightly adjust the title position to achieve a more or less simultaneous fade of both.



Blame Cyberlink for their stupid and illogical "track superiority behavior" programming. I adressed that several times in the "suggestions for new versions" threads already. The track below always dominates the track above it.



Tell me what you think! :

I cant access your last picture, but I can say the blackness you see is not caused by the tranition. The transition fades as it should and does not go black all over. The blackness begins prior to any of the fades starting. In conclusion, I can see no reason why you see black when you do.

I have to agree with Longedge when he says the PD layers are perfectly logical. I think you will have to bite the bullet and start again. If it's not the fault of the transition and you have nothing in tracks below, I'm afraid I have no other answers to suggest - sorry Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

I managed to download the clip. Why do you need a transition on the title when it fades away naturally?

One last question before I jump out of the window.

You have named the item in track 1 snapshot. Is it in fact a still picture? I also see that you have applied something to it, hence the (i) that shows. What is applied? And lastly, Is it possible that you have already applied a fade out in PIP designer or something like that. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

YES.

MAGIC MOTION (Zoom in)

NO.



Hmm... what can we do? As far as I can see it all of you did a wonderful job trying to help me and keeping up the interest for so long. I guess PD is just what it is, an overall nice and affordable software -- which should be far more tweakable and customizable. But alas.....

In the end there are (almost) always workarounds and that's it, I guess. If you have another idea or suggestion please share it here. If not, thank you all for this nice and informative conversation on this currently "challenged" message board. Gentlemen, it was a pleasure talking to you.
