Struggle to get one object to clip to another


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to figure this out for an hour, but am stuck. I'd like these partially transparent trapezoids to fit inside the light blue trapezoid while keeping the same angle as the parent light blue trapezoid on the sides and with the same about of padding around the edge (as in outside edge of the transparent trapezoids having some padding around them so as to not go all the way to the edge of the light blue trapezoid). I figure there's a far easier way to accomplish this then what I've attempted thus far, so am hoping someone on here can advise me on how to accomplish this.

What I tried to do is copy the light blue trapezoid and create a slightly smaller version of the light blue (I changed the color to green so I could see it) trapezoid and stick it inside the larger one and then clip the transparent trapezoids to the smaller of the two light blue trapezoids. However, for some reason when I do this it will only clip it to the larger one and not the smaller one (using Arrange -> Movie Inside. Additionally, I've tried recreating this in a separate document to play around with the Arrange -> Move Inside feature and that feature is totally grayed out when I try to use it. Why is this?
