How do I make two clips blend into each other?

All I want to know is how do I make two clips visible (see-through) on my music video at the same time. I know that is has something to do with the opacity, but I'm not quite sure??

What version do you have? In 1.5 you select the clip on the timeline, go to the effects control, and lower opacity to make it see-through. Place one clip above the other and play with the settings till you get the desired effect.

And remember that any video clip must have opacity less than 100% if you want to be able to see the clips beneath it in the timeline, <i>viz.</i> playing simultaneously and on lower video tracks.

Go to the point where you want to start to fade out, set a key frame for the opacity to 100, then go to the point where you want it to be completly gone and set a key frame for 0, now put the video that you are blending anywhere which suites the effect your going for, or alternatively play with the key frames, thats as simple and as clear as I think anyone can make it.
