How can I apply a transition between two clips (titles) without affecting the video layers below??? Tried to nest, make a new sequence, but the transition still affects the video on the layer below.

    Hey there, thanks a lot for your help.

    I have two layers. The one below is the main video layer, with the interview. Above this layer, I have titles, like his name, logos, and other informations about what he is saying. Well, I want to apply some transitions on the layer above the video, on the titles. For example, If I place a transition like  "Dip to black" between two titles (on the layer above the video) during his speech, the main video below will go black together with the titles, I don´t want that. I need this transition to affect only the titles layer, that happens to be above the video, without affecting all the layers below. I guess it would be like in Photoshop when you hold "Alt/Option" and click between layers to apply a layer or effect only to the one below it.

    Is there a way to do it???  Thanks a lot again!

    Do you want one title to fade out and another to fade in? If so put a one frame gap between the two titles and add a dissolve to the end of each clip.
