When you say Overlap Them do you meen take the Last Photo and Push It to the Lext up right next to the fisrt Photo?
Because if I do that I don't think they Over Lap the Second Photo just get skinner??

Put both pictures on the timeline.

Using the mouse, click-n-hold the middle of one picture (not the edge... not the top... not the corner... the middle of the picture).

(without letting go of the mouse button) Drag the mouse left-and-right and observe that the image slides along the timeline.

Drag the image to the other picture, beyond the point where they "connect" so that they overlap a bit. Release the mouse.

Observe there is a blue X shape through the overlapped area, indicating that the first picture fades away as the second picture fades in.

For a real-world example, see the video around time-mark 1:30.

I mean take the second one and push it left and keep pushing it left until the left edge of the second picture has gone PAST the right edge of the first picture so that the second picture is slightly ON TOP OF the first picture. The amount you overlap the two will be the length of the fade.

Since we're being so detailed let's point out the 'auto-crossfade' button too. If this is turned off then overlapping the pictures will shrink the second picture rather than creating a crossfade. So it's important to make sure that this feature is turned on.

To take it a step further..... It's the button with the overlapping Right Triangles. Also found in the Options menu.... Automatic Crossfades.
