just tried it, still the same problem for me,
crossfades are still problematic with the autopilot (when clips are not loops)
would love this to be fixed.
"setting the Layer 2 blend to alpha " does not help.
but seems using the automask effect is the solution.
I want to do this this way cause the tool for transform is much more powerfull and with handles in the advanced output than in the transform settigns (of clips or layers)
