Blending
A cue can contain up to 20 layers (6 layers in a Maxedia Compact). The way these layers interact
with each other is determined by their
Blending settings. Layers are stacked one on top of the
next based on their layer number. The Blending options in layer 3 will determine how much of layer 2
is visible. The Blending options in layer 4 will determine how much of the RESULT OF THE
BLENDING OF LAYERS 2 AND 3 is visible, and so forth. Many of the
Shader Effects (Mask, Add,
Mul, Subtract, Reverse Subtract, Max and Min) can be reproduced using blending between two layers
rather than using a shader between the player media and shader media. One benefit of using the
Blending method is increased control over
3D Position and 3D Rotation of each piece of media
individually. You may choose to use the shader method instead if you have many layers in a cue or
positioning is not a problem.
