    Is there a way to ‘collapse’ 2 video tracks?

    I have video on trk 1 and a graphic that I made in title tool on trk. 2.

    The graphic (a white square) is to cover up a date and location. Problem is that when i apply a fade in or a fade out, the rate is unequal and I can see the date and location as the transition progresses.

    In Avid I just collapse – apply a transition and the rate is perfect – even for 6 tracks of video.

    Any suggestions ?

    Many thanks.

    nesting works but what if you really want just one track for XML export?
    with nesting XML export into REDCINE comes up with an empty file.
    if I were to nest, multi-cam then flatten, you lose the other tracks.
    is there an option similiar to FCPX Collapse into main track (Primary storyline)?
