Smooth Fading Between Graphic Layers

I'm going to be doing a demo today with our 2 DL-2s in collage mode. They want a basic slide show with jpg photos crossfading between each other. I was programming these cues and found that no matter how you have your cross fade set up, there is a dark dip in-between the two layers. I've tried it where the bottom layer is at full then I fade the next layer on top of it without having the bottom layer fade out. I've tried the same thing reversed (top layer is at full, bottom layer is at full then I fade the top layer out). I've also tried this where the layers intentnistys cross fade. Is there another way of cross fading that I missed? I'm using the intensity channels on the graphic layers to cross fade. Do I need to do something to my content? (They are jpg photos that are fairly bright)

ps.- Our DL2s are running v1.2.2.864
Thanks in advance,

  • Ok So here's the story,
    I was out rollerblading with a friend, (I know how 1990 :D )
    and went down a hill and lost my balance, my feet flew out in front of me, and I pretty much landed directly on the back on my head.:aiwebs_009:
    I would give you more information about the exact incedent, but I don't remember it all that well.
    I ended up haveing to take a helicopter to the hospital, and I had to stay there for 9 days.
    Loads of fun, I have a basilar skull fracture, Luckily I am not a sound guy as I have temporarily lost hearing in my right ear due to spinal fluid leakage in my inner ear.
    My headaches are getting much better though, and the dizzyness is the only really annoying leftover thing.. but they said that could take quite a while to go away entirely..
    In any case, i am feeling much better, and I hope to be back to work on wednesday.
    So in any case, that's why I didn't send a bug report in while the software was still a beta, I was planning on haveing a few more days to play with software before I sent in any info.
    But that was not to be..

    So thats my story, loads of fun...
    Take it easy :blackeye:
