Layers across multiple mixes

Paul you are right!
Flat constant aspect ratio, there is no calcualtions done... So thats why it is not transparent... Just in and out again...

One more question while I am thinking about it. I used a similar setup that todd had the other day where I had 3 LED walls. I had...
Mix 3 - across all 3 screens
Mix 4 - screen 1
Mix 5 - screen 2
Mix 6 - screen 3

Mix 4,5,6 are transparent and flat locked to corners.
What I had was a situation where I wanted to put IMAG into one screen, say screen 3, (Mix 6), and leave content running in screen 1 and 2. I needed to fade in the IMAG while the content was running in the background.

The simplest way was to have something running in mix 3 across all 3 screens and then just bring up mix 6 over it.
The problem though is when I would bring up mix 6 to something less than full intensity I would see a blend between the background Mix 3 and Mix 6.
To try and fix this I put a layer of black at full in mix 6 "behind" the IMAG and "on top" of Mix 3. I would still see through mix 6 and see a blend of Mix 3 and Mix 6. My IMAG would get slightly "brighter" when this layer of black was added but it would not act as an opaque layer as I hoped. I even tried making it a mask and that didn't seem to work either.
It would only work if put a scaled layer of black on Mix 3 on top of the video content and "behind" mix 6.
Is there a better way of doing this or am I setting this up wrong for this situation.
Thanks

That would be the expected result

I thought that Blend Glitch C should fix this - but it doesn't...?
So using Blend Glitch A (or B)

Try using custom colour effect: 'HSB Mix' on the IMAG layer in Mix 6 and reduce the brightness controller as necessary - it seems to work without making the image transparent...

I will try it,
