Now, here is the problem I ran into: I wanted the video to fade out. I know that I can apply the same fade to each individual clip, but the clips overlap on screen (primarily because of the borders), which means that as they fade out the parts of clips behind the borders partially show up and the transition looks quite ugly. My video is being uploaded and still shows some of these artifacts that I could share if someone has trouble understanding what I mean.
What I would really like to do is to apply a fade after all the clips have already been composited, like a fade on something like a "master track" for an audio equivalent, but I could not figure out a way to do that and have found no answers searching either.
What I ended up doing, which was a huge pain, was to try to size all my clips in that ending scene just right so that there is no overlap, which is risky because if it isnt just right, either the fade transition looks bad when things overlap, or the clips are not fully connected and the background black shows through.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on PowerDirector 16 by the way.
