Broadcast overlays, mattes, backgrounds
Hi,
I’ve been asked to put together a proposal for a broadcast identity. Although I’ve done quite a bit of animation and broadcast design, as well as brand and identity design, I’m unsure of some of the specs. I was wondering if anyone could clarify the differences for me between overlays, mattes and backgrounds.
Thanks,
Pete

An overlay is somthing that covers up part of the screen. Like a sidebar. A lower third super bar is also a type of overlay.
A matte is something that allows one to cut a hole in the frame to allow another image to show through.
A background is a fullscreen animation/image that can be composited over using overlays and mattes, as well as other elements.
