Blend effect
The Blend effect blends two clips using one of five modes. After you blend clips using this effect, disable the clip you
selected from the Blend With Layer menu. Select the clip and choose Clip > Enable.
Blend With Layer
The clip to blend with (the secondary or control layer).
Mode
Blend mode:
•
Color Only colorizes each pixel in the original image based on the color of each corresponding pixel in the
secondary image.
•
Tint Only is similar to Color Only but tints pixels in the original image only if they are already colored.
•
Darken Only darkens each pixel in the original image that is lighter than the corresponding pixel in the secondary
image.
•
Lighten Only lightens each pixel in the original image that is darker than the corresponding pixel in the secondary
image.
•
Crossfade fades out the original image while the secondary image fades in.
Blend With Original
The effect’s transparency. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the effect
result composited on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the clip. For example, if you set this
value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the clip. If you set this value to 0%, the original image does not show
through.
If Layer Sizes Differ
Specifies how to position the control layer.
Calculations effect
The Calculations effect combines the channels of one clip with the channels of another clip.
Original images (left and center), and with effect applied (right)
Input Channel
The channel to extract and use as input to the blending operation. RGBA displays all channels
normally. Gray converts all color channel values for a pixel to the luminance value of the original pixel. Red, Green, or
Blue converts all color channel values for a pixel to the value of the selected color channel for the original pixel. Alpha
converts all channels to the value of the alpha channel for the original pixel.
