Effect: Title Overlay, Composite

Description
This effect combines the images of two other clips in such a way that the area of the text shows one image and the background the other image.

Controls

:

Notes
To use this effect, place THREE clips of the SAME EXACT LENGTH in the timeline, next to each other. These are, in order, the title, the A CLIP, and the B CLIP. Select the first clip (the title) and apply the effect.

NOTE: In previewing, a few frames at the beginning and end of the clip may appear incorrect. This is due to a known bug in iMovie 2. However, the final result using an Apply will be correct in all cases.

For more information about combining images using this technique of compositing, please see the documentation for the Masks & Compositing plugin.

This effect assumes that the background of the source image is black, and the foreground is white.
