Green Screen Transitions

Quick question;

I've got a back ground clip, two green screen clips on top of the main "back ground clip". I want to add a "fade to color" transition to my green screen clips, I put them on the green screen clips, but for some reason, the entire screen below my green screen clips dips to black. Including the back ground.

I'm confused as to why. The only clips that should be affected to the fade to color/dip to black should be the green screen clips correct?

If not, is there a way to do this? I hope that makes sense.

Thank you all in advance.

Let me see if I got it: you are adding the Fade to Color transition between two greenscreen clips in the foreground, right?

So say we want the chickens to fade and give way to the butterfly

The problem with fade to black is that, well... it fades to black, not to transparent...

I suppose you want the background to stay unchanged, like this (though probably not with chickens and a butterfly 😀)

Here what I suggest you try: open the Video Animation panel, and use the fade handles to, er... fade.

I'm not clear what you would like to see. The fade to color is black and that covers whatever's underneath it. Do you just want a cross dissolve> Maybe post a screenshot of the timeline if I'm not understanding the layout.
