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 by selecting the clip and choosing Clip > Enable.

Blend With Layer

The clip to blend with (the secondary or control layer).

Mode

Blending 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 the original image out 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 doesn’t show through.

If Layer Sizes Differ

Specifies how to position the control layer.
