I am triggering tasks or alternative timelines via midi notes, and all is working as expected except:

I have 1 timeline that has content at 15% opacity when the timeline above it is fired.

The timeline with low opacity jumps to full (no accidental keyframes) when the above timeline is activated.

I tried copying the look of the lower timeline into the beginning of the above timeline with no success.

Does anyone have any ideas about it?

Thanks.

I am just guessing here... but do you have any layers in either of those timelines that have a blend mode (screen, multiply, etc...) other than normal?  That would cause what you describe.

I've also experienced problems before with blend modes in compositions in WO5 (layers disappearing suddenly when the composition containing them fades out) but I assumed it was because I was exceeding the playback capacity of the Display machines (either the CPU or GPU not keeping up). Is there some kind of limit to use of blend modes in Watchout itself that would cause the opacity hiccups?

Not really. If possible, try to provide a pared-down minimum example show file with media that exhibits this problem to support for investigation. Blend modes shouldn't adversely affect performance, as they're all fairly simple.
