<p>I have several clips with different opacities, eg:</p>

<pre><code>clip 1 (100%), clip 2 (33%), clip 3 (100%) ...
</code></pre>

<p>Premiere Pro CC seems to automatically transition from one opacity to the next. </p>

<p>So when the video plays, the opacity changes over the course of the clip.  </p>

<p>How can I make Premiere Pro CC respect the opacity for each clip, for the duration of each clip?  </p>
