Dissolving between layers glitch
I’m trying to dissolve between tracks to create a layered look but am finding Premiere doesn’t transition smoothly between tracks.
For example: if I apply a cross dissolve to a clip in track 2 (with video in track 1) and then apply a dissolve to a clip in layer 3 before the layer two dissolve is finished the opacity jumps suddenly when the layer 3 clip begins.
With Final cut one can layer transitions like this smoothly. Anyone else having this issue? I tried using opacity instead of a dissolve and had the same issue.
Thanks!

I’m having a similar issue with 2 tracks stacked on top of each other. For example, I have a clip that is dynamically linked with an after effects composition. This clip is essentially a medium shot with a green screen behind it. The composition simply keyed out the green screen and dropped in the background. The corner of the background has a flat screen TV that is a placeholder for visual aids. I’m adding the images into the placeholder in Premiere Pro by simply dropping in the image and then adjusting the crop factor and placement to fit the TV screen. When I tried to add a cross dissolve or a dip to black my main footage was adjusting at a different rate then the image from track 2 that is in the flatscreen TV.
Hopefully that made sense. Anyway, I ended up just going completely manual and using opacity keyframes on the different layers and then eyeballing them to make them match up with how they fade out. However, I can see how this would not be a feasible solution with more than just a handful of edits and tracks. Does anybody have a better solution then key framing opacity by hand?
