That was a great idea, but what I got when I tried it was a cut to black and then a fade at the beginning. It was a fade to black at the end of the b-roll clip.
What then worked was having no transitions at the beginning or end of the b-roll clip, but instead using keyframes and opacity to accomplish it.
Thanks for the tip on compound clips. I am still working through the tutorials.

I am just learning FCPX. I got stumped with what I think is the simplest of tasks in FCP7.
Try this at home and see if you can figure it out.
Goal: a segment that has a talking head interview with a cutaway to another shot of the things he is talking about. The trick is that you want to fade into the shot of the cutaway items and crossfades between the items and crossfade back to the talking head. Remember the talking head continues to speak under the cutaways.
Figure this one out in FCPX. I can do it in FCP7 in a heartbeat.
