Customizing overlay clips:

1. Click on the small triangle icon next to the Overlay item to expand its tree view and to see the overlay clips that are in the template.



2. Select a clip, for instance, Overlay Clip 1. From the Type drop-down list, select Blue Key if the overlay clip has a blue screen. On the Preview Window in the Smart Compositor window, click on the blue screen to make it transparent.

   Otherwise, choose from the other overlay key types in the drop-down list. See “Overlay key types” in MediaStudio Pro 8 manual for details on overlay key types.

3. If the background of the overlay clip is not removed completely, increase the Similarity value until the background is totally transparent.

Tip: For a smoother overlay effect, apply a soft edge.

4. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to customize the other overlay clips in the template.
