MC6 Blending Modes
Hi,
Sorry to drag this topic back out of the dirt. I know this subject has been talked about a lot in the past but I’ve been looking around the internet and reading forums about the subject and they all date back to around 2010 or a time pre-MC6.
I use different blending modes a lot in the work I do whether its in Phtoshop, After Effects, Premiere or FCP. I would be really suprised if this wasn’t a readily available function in MC6, without the need of any third party plugins as it’s a pretty standard NLE tool in any software. Is there a way I can simply change the blend mode of a clip?

Blending modes are the stuff of compositors. FCP was great in that it introduced the idea of compositing within the editing application. Premiere did this too, as it has some stuff from After Effects…a composting too.
Avid was designed to be a straight editor…with some minor compositing ability. It never had blending modes…and only does now if you have Boris Continuum.
Yeah, I miss this ability too.

i havent tried this before, but cant you apply a paint effect and use the transfer modes from within there ?

I thought about that too, but although the Paint effect has transfer modes, it can’t apply them to the image, just to a solid 2D colour box or polygon

Drop an avid fx filter on the uoper clip, then play with blending modes there. Not realtime but works and with way more options than fcp.

There is an Avid FX Composite mode that is RT. I think it’s a BORIS one though. I’m using it a LOT on my latest show.
