How do I use Dissolve with one clip?

[smike]

I keep seeing examples for more than 1. I assume it would be something like:

Trim(0, 1500).Dissolve(500)+Trim(1800,0)

The +Dissolve command isn't working either. What am I missing?

I'm not entirely sure what you're going for but maybe you can play around with this:

Trim(0,1500)+Trim(1800,0)
A=Trim(0,1500)
B=Trim(1501,0)
Dissolve(A,B,500)

You'll lose a lot of frames doing that, though. Maybe that's okay.
