I guess I'll find out about this sooner or later and I guess I'm being a little impatient.

Anyway, I have a question about "layers". I'm not even sure if this can be done...

Basically, I'd like to create a video where, for the sake of simplicity, there are two tracks (video tracks).
Ok, let's say video 1 is the "background" video.
Video 2 is the one on top.
Using the video mixer, I get them to be played simultaneously (theoretically, video 1 can't be seen).
Now, at some point, video 1 contains, say, 100 frames with some "transparent holes".

When the video is produced, will those 100 frames display the background video in the areas with the transparent holes?

What I understand from your post is "Opacity". The opacity cannot be set framewise but clipwise. You can use key frame markers.Please see the attached screen shot.

You may need to play around with masks (custom or standard).

This might help with the concept :

and this 3 parter is for complex masks and colour popping

I haven't played with masking in PD10 but I assume it is the same as earlier versions??
