Hello, I just can't seem to make cross-fade (Not overlap) work for simple videos (from different files) on the same timeline. For example, if I overlay the transition on top of both vids at the join point here's what happens:

Video 1 fades to dark.. (which is very dark at the last second)
video 2 simple remains black forever until the transition ends , then instantly "cuts"

Why doesn't this properly fade-up the second video?

Next I tried just glueing the fade to the front of video 2, but now the transition "fades-out" a few seconds then cuts back again. Why can't it detect that its at the front of the video and fade in correctly?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks - Tim NA
