I answered that here already, start thinking in layers, you will need 3 video lines to put more than one bar there.

What I want is basically the "Left to Right" 3D blinds transition but modified slightly.Instead of the 4 bars it uses,I want 3.And I also want to make it slower.And also instead of the 1 clip I want 3 different "bars" of clips.

Any idea how I'd go about doing that?I was thinking of having to mask out the bars from the clips I wanted first and placing that on another layer.But then how'd I make it flip over like that transition but only slower?

I figured it out, give me a minute to post it for you O:

oo thanks!!!I tried doing it but it takes ages to make sure the masked out bars are the exact same size and there's this weird flicker when I use the transition like it wasnt complete or something..

are you talking about using real clips instead of white bars as "piano keys"?

I apologize for the shape of the bar.I'm not very good at making it straight and the correct size all the time :\ but it kind of shows the idea of how to do it anyway.I hope.
