    I’m trying to add a transition(Split slide) between two clips on the same track. The first clip is not using a green screen. The second is. All is good with those until I add a transition. Then it plays the first clip normally until the transition at which time it shows the second clip with a black background and green lines around the people. I’ve tried adding a drop shadow as one forum suggested, but that didn’t work. I’m using FC Pro 5.1.4. Thanks!

    export the green screen clip as a reference file with some handles, them reimport and use that as your footage on the timeline.

    I suppose in theory that this could also be done by nesting the greenscreen clips, but I’ve never tried it.

    Late response to this thread, but I came across the topic… and yes, it works to nest the clip, no need to export or anything like that.
