The Freeze Frame dialog box
New & Enhanced! Creative overlay options
— Create new looks by adjusting how overlay
objects blend with the background. With new
Add, Multiple and Grey Key options, you can
create unique semi-transparent and color blend
results. Use a video mask to hide or reveal
different parts of your video for interesting special
effects or title sequences.
To display the Mask & Chroma Key page, select your
overlay track in the Timeline, and in the Options pane,
click the Attribute tab, and click Mask & Chroma Key.
Enable the Apply Overlay Options check box and
choose an overlay Type: Chroma Key, Mask Frame,
Video Mask, Gray Key, Multiply or Add Key.
A video mask can be used to creatively reveal an
underlying video or image. In the example above, the
brush strokes gradually reveal a background image.
New! Convert titles to Alpha channel files —
Create stylish, professional-looking titles by
converting them to alpha channel images (PNG)
or animations (UISX). Converting the titles lets
you access a wide range of overlay settings and
effects, such as the new overlay and video mask
options.
The Multiply overlay option was applied to blend the
title image with the background
