Edit 95
Working with Overlays
Another feature under the Edit Step is the application of overlay effects.
This allows you to add overlay clips to combine with your videos in the
Video Track. You can also use an overlay clip to create a picture-within-a-
picture effect. You can also use an overlay clip to create a picture-within-
a-picture effect, or to add a lower third, which can make your movie
production look more professional. Overlay tracks are also used to insert
video while keeping the audio from the main track.
To make overlay clips with transparent backgrounds, you can create a 32-
bit alpha channel AVI video file or an image file with an alpha channel.
You can use programs such as Corel PaintShop Photo Pro and CorelDRAW
to create these video and image files.
Another alternative is to use the Mask & Chroma Key function in Corel
VideoStudio Pro to make a specific color on an image transparent.
