Effect: Title Overlay, Transparent

Description
This effect places the title text on another clip, making the foreground (text) transparent so the other clip can be seen.

Controls

:

Notes
To use this effect, place TWO clips of the SAME EXACT LENGTH in the timeline, next to each other. Select the first clip, which should be the title, and apply the effect. The foreground (text) of the title will be replaced by the contents of the second clip.

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.
