OK, you want to use Overlay mode and use Track Motion to size and position the frame. If you can see the square edges of the image, apply the Sony Levels plug-in to the image and adjust the Input End or Output Start parameter until the edges blend into the scene and disappear. You might even get it to match by adjusting the Gamma. The point is you want the gray to be exactly 128,128,128 so that it blends as neutral in Overlay mode.

I’ve been following this discussion and am still puzzled as to why it’s not working properly.
Allan, is it possible that you’re using the video previews and not the actual clips?

I went to the web site for this product and here’s what they say about the product.

Pre-Keyed Stock Footage:
Built-In Alpha channels for faster compositing

No complicated Keying with these clips! Just place an element over your footage and the background has built-in transparency.

FORMAT INFORMATION: 2K & 720p
Main Video Format: QuickTime RGB + Alpha, Video Codec: PNG
Video Previews: QuickTime MP4, 480 x 360

As you can see from the example, this particular effect does not have an alpha channel because it is meant to be used in Overlay mode where pure gray (128,128,128) would be invisible.

I’ve gotten it to work but you can see the edges of the image,I tried to use levels on it but that dont do the trick.

Also the grafik aint that good,compared to the original, is that normal,it get kind of ruff in the pixels.

Did you use Pan/Crop or Track Motion. It looks like you may have used Pan/Crop. You need to use Track Motion.

Without seeing everything that you are doing it’s hard to say. It looks like you may have added a Mask or Pan/Crop. If you did, try moving it to the end of the FX chain.

I have just delete one of the images, and done it from scratch again with track motion.and used levels,but it’s the same.

Here the process.

1 Add image to screen.
2 Change to overlay mode,place with track motion.
3 set track properties.
Properties:
Video event: Loop on, maintain aspect ratio on
Media : field order:none(progressive), pixel aspect 1000, Alpha channel none.
That’s it, am i forgetting anything.
