#Help on Dissolve How To

Dave, Could you help me figure out why I can't get a dissolve to work by following the How To procedure? I realize there may be something I'm missing but I've followed then to the letter as far as I can tell. The specific problem comes when I paste the fade in over the fade out. The "Zero Alpha" black background of the fade in covers over the fade out frames completely. (I am sure the background is set to Zero Alpha for both segments as instructed). Any suggestions beyond those given in the help screen? Thanks. Barry

Barry, <<The specific problem comes when I paste the fade in over the fade out. The "Zero Alpha" black background of the fade in covers over the fade out frames completely.

It seem like the segments are fading to black (opaque) and not zero alpha (transparent). Anybody else able get the correct results? Regards, -Marc
