    Hi, I’m sure that the answer is simple but I have a major problem. I have three different shots on blue screen and want to put them on scenery footage. The first blue screen shows up and by design, ends when the second blue screen begins. The third blue screen is supposed to enter half way in on the second but does not show up. I used DVgarage to pull the three images and they look great, but as I said, the third image does not show. The order of the images is: background, image one, image two and image three. I would expect that it is an novice mistake. Thani you for any help.

    Try rearranging the order and see if it shows. If not, put the opacity of each of the layers down to 30 – 50 percent and see if the missing layer is showing through some how. If it does show, it is there and one of the key layers is not showing it’s transparency correctly. Also solo each layer and hit the alpha button on your comp window (so it only shows alpha). It should be in the shape of the keyed part. If the alpha is solid white, then the key isn’t set right and is blocking the other layer.
