Fading between video layers, and keep/detach audio

Hello!
I am editing together a video with 2 camera angles, and am new to Vegas. I was wondering if there was a way to fade in and out the top video track easily so that the track below would fade in, there by fading from one camera angle to the next. I know that you can slice the top layer and then fade it out/in, which works, but I lose the audio on the top track, which is the primary audio.

Also, is there a way to detach audio from its video, so I can keep the audio in tact while chopping up the video?

Thanks!!

Use the fade handle on the top edge of the video and it will fade out the visual, and not the audio.

To ungroup, press U on the selected clip.

YOu can lock the audio track, or you can ungroup the audio and video.
