Adding transitions to clips above main storyline.

I really appreciate your help. That's how it should work. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I tried the same thing with shapes but still not working for me.

before compounding

compound clip

When I play the compound clip with the push transition the logo pushes in over black, then video comes back.

I don't know how to post the video clip here.

Thanks. I tried that and it still affects the video on the storyline. I'm trying the "push" transition on a logo superimposed over the video in the storyline and the video pushes with it no matter what I do. I can't figure out how to quickly animate a logo in/out using transitions. Cross dissolve is the only transition that seems to work.

That's it! I was selecting the clip and the transition together. When I selected the clip then the transition separately and made it a compound clip, it worked. I knew there had to be a way. Thanks a million!

Maybe this will help others with this issue. Thank goodness for these discussion forums.

Before compounding the clip, I needed to select the clip and the transition like this:

Not this:

When I apply the slide transition instead, it works as expected without compounding the clip. Confusing.
