Comment 1 for bug 516405

I was trying to do a "picture in a picture", I had a "master" clip and then a shorter clip on the track on top. I used a transition as a mask to make the shorter clip appear on the upper left corner with a softer (feathered) border using a mask so that both clips can be seen.

However I wanted the shorter clip to only have 60% opacity and to fade in and out 4 sec. Using a mask, the clip's alpha value (set in the Layout tab) was ignored. Also, the clip's fade in and fade out (set in the Video tab) was also ignored.

Is this intended or not?
