Answers.Body: <p>I am unclear on what you are asking. So you have 2 clips on your timeline and you want to have clip 1 dissolve but only halfway? That's your opacity. So just click on your clip in the timeline (next to the clip name I believe there's a twirly) and you should be able to select motion, or opacity. Click opacity. Then adjust it with keyframes.</p>
  
  <p>Then go to your second clip and start your first keyframe at 50% and then further along the timeline take it back to 100% with another keyframe?</p>
  
  <p>I hope that helps.</p>

Answers.Text: Just try googling "Premiere adjusting opacity" there's gotta be at least one youtube video on it. It's not hard, I just haven't ever tried explaining it in a forum.

Answers.Body: <p>Jeremy's opacity method will work, but if you want to do it with transitions, just make a gap between the adjacent clips, apply the transitions to each clip separately and then trim them back together.</p>
