    – i read that one can set whether effects are applied after the layer blend mode or before… how does one do this?

    – i have a black and white clip and want to key one background layer into the black, one into the white , so that the 2 keys are separate. How do i do this?

    thanks…in final edit of an eco film now…help much appreciated!

    peace,

    Create three video tracks.
    Place the black and white clip on top.
    Place the two video clips on the two layers below.
    Add the fx MASK GENERATOR to the black and white event and choose the option LUMINANCE
    Choose the composition mode MULTIPLY (MASK) for the upper track.
    Make the middle track a child of the upper track.
    Thats all.

    And about your first question (sorry, I didn’t realize you had two questions):
    To add an effect before blending, just add the effects to the events.

    To add an effect after the blending: open a new project and blend the two events. Save the project as a .veg file and import this new .veg file into your main project (just drag it onto the timeline). It will appear as 1 event. Then add the effects to this event.
