Actually, I just used this methodology and it was slightly less than
perfect.
To whit, on a 30frame dissolve, there was a little "kick" at frames
28 or 29, at which the dissolve became , uh, non-smooth. YMMV.
I have had good luck producing dissolves with ADPro and the Compositor
tool in FRED, but then you lose the splining option. OTOH, it looks better.
