Ok, I have a simple question. I have 2 layers, I want to fade from one to the other. How do I make my layer 1 fade to layer 2? I think you guys can easily solve this one.  
Sorry for wasting your time :cyclops:

Thanks

Well if your layer 2 is above your Layer 1, you can’t fade into Layer 2.

If your layer 2 is under layer 1 just start your layer 2 on a later frame. So have layer 1 fading out at the same time you have layer 2 fading in. Tah Dah.

If you don’t know how to fade, read this tutorial…
