  • X I have tried with the newest version of editly: npm i -g editly or npm i editly@latest

Hi, so, maybe I am wrong, but it is not possible to put one image overlay over the whole video (multiple clips)? Or one title? If it is, I simply couldn't find it. Would anyone know me how to? (I know I can add the same title layer to all clips, but with transitions, this is not working anymore, unless of course using "fade" or so).

Well, ideally it would be great to be able to nest layers:

clips [ layers [ type "sub-clips" [ ... ] ] ]

Just as an idea!

Thanks anyways for this cool tool.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reviewing editly's current clip and layer configuration and how transitions are represented. Compare that behavior with the proposed nested layers and sub-clips structure, and consider the feature complete only when an overlay or title can span multiple clips through transitions.
