Layering Movie Clips

[Mariann]

I just bought a new computer with WindowsXP on it, and I'm
getting pretty good at using moviemaker. I was wondering
if it's possible to overlap movie clips? If so, how do you
do it? Please email me with the answer

If you are using the storyboard:

1) Click on "Collections" in the toolbar.
2) The select "Video Transitions" in the collections pane on the left.
3) Find the transition labeled "Fade" in the Listview.
4) Select "Fade" and drag and drop it to the small square between the two
clips you want to overlap.

If you are using the timeline:

Same as above, except at step 4 drag and drop to line between the two clips.

Plus with the timeline you can overlap them by simply dragging the second
clip back over the first.
