I understand that you can change alpha straight away on a movie strip in the Preview Window without needing to add a Transform Strip. However, attempting to keyframe Alpha by pressing I on the Preview Window doesn't work without the Transform Strip. I presume it doesn't work because all the options in the Insert Keyframe Menu on the Preview Window only work on a Transform Strip. But since you are able to change alpha straight away on a movie strip in the Preview Window without adding a Transform Strip, it would be good if I can also keyframe on the alpha in the Preview Window without adding a Transform Strip.
