group/fade

[navigatordr]

Hello.

I can successfully group two clips together (clips x & y), however when I try to fade the newly minted single clip into another clip (clip z), I can only fade (clip z) to the point where the the two clips were originally grouped together (x&y), if I try to strech the fade beyond that point (of x&y), the fade will automatically begin again (at clip y), completely ignoring the beginning of the fade (x). So, how do I treat the grouped clip (x&y) as a single clip (which it has become), instead of two seperate clips, in terms of my desired fade? Does this make sense?

I'm sure someone has an answer, in the meantime I continue to search this forum...

Muchas Gracias (btw, we need a smiley w/a moustache and a top hat)

You grouped them, but they're still separate clips.

You'd have to render them out as a single clip in order to do what you're doing.

Or (and this wouldn't be the better way to go), group the two clips together in their own project, save the project, and bring it into your timeline as a nested project.
