I've tried having the video clip on a different layer and changing the opacity of the first video to 50% but all it showed was the 2nd video playing and the first one disappeared!

I think I've got it

First vid in layer 1 is at 24% opacity and 2nd vid is at 74%.its not terribly brilliant but thats the kind of thing I was looking for.Except it seemed to have alot of flashes at the start...

and I highlighted it because it wont play smoothly but I pressed Shift + B and it works now.

what does the opacity do?coz usually it would be the visibility of something.like the lower the opacity,the more transparent the picture is.but when I just lowered 1 video's opacity to 50% it make the video darker instead of brighter which I thought it was supposed to be...

opacity controls how much of the video you see
