Do this

  1. 01Select any non-empty clip in the deck. Inspector shows controls for that clip; movie clips also have Speed and Loop, One Shot - Hold or One Shot - Clear above Settings.
  2. 02Under Transform, use Scale to resize the clip, Position X and Position Y to place it, and Rotation to turn it.
  3. 03Under Colour, use Alpha for the clip's transparency, Exposure for brightness, Contrast for tonal separation and Saturation for colour intensity.
  4. 04Under Keying, choose Luma to mask by brightness or Chroma to remove a chosen Key Colour. Raise Threshold to remove more of the image, then use Softness to feather the edge.
  5. 05Most of these parameters can also be animated with Vūdl scripts instead of staying fixed.
Chroma key controls with a green Key Colour and Threshold and Softness sliders.
