![]() Maybe there's something we're both missing and someone else can chime in. It's too bad because I actually like PD a lot better than some of the other "prosumer" NLEs. ![]() Interesting that PD doesn't have a similar method of compositing a video (versus a static) matte (or mask using the PD taxonomy). ![]() Tony, thanks very much for your insight, and you are absolutely correct with what I'm attempting to accomplish. I'd be very happy if other members could educate me in this, or confirm that PDR is not equipped to do this particular job. With a static image it can be accomplished with masking, but as far as I have found not with an alpha channel motion video (like the attached example). I've played around in PDR trying to find a way to trick it into achieving the effect you've described, but (thus far) I've failed. PDR doesn't have anything like this facility for compositing tracks. Attached is a partial screenshot from an After Effects tutorial, showing the different modes that can be applied. PDR is compatible with alpha channel videos in QuickTime MOV format, but it does not have the same (or even similar) functions used by some other NLEs. I'm chiming in here with no experience of using mattes in either Premiere Pro or Video Studio, aside from watching various tutorials on the subject. is that part of the base functionality in PD15, or included in one of the plugins? Or can you not composite an VIDEO matte layer, just a static one? I've been tinkering with PD15 for a WEEK and cannot for the life of me figure out how to replicate the same effect in PD15. The net effect is I'd get a transition from the background layer (track 1) with the overlay (track 4), and an image reveal with the matte (track 3) and 2nd image (track 2). In most cases I'd apply a key effect on the topmost layer I want to reveal (track 2 in this example) and select the matte track or (video mask as VideoStudio calls it) using track 3, and apply a luminance key on the black part of the matte. In Adobe Premiere (both elements and pro) and in Corel VideoStudio I know how to composite these tracks together to get the effect I'm looking for. I have 4 tracks: (see image tracks.png), the base or background track (track 1), the overlay track that I want to reveal (track 2), a video matte track (track 3 - see image matte.png), and an animated wipe effect track with an alpha channel (track 4 - see image wipe.png). Ok, so here's what I'm trying to figure out in PD 15: ![]()
