Looking to simulate a reflection
I have a scene where a space captain is looking out the window of his ship. It is shot from outside the ship and I want the reflection of stars to be on the glass in front of him.
So here is the viewCamera > Reflection of stars on Window > Window > Captain
I have tried lowering the opacity on a layer of stars, but that doesn’t seem to do it. Any other ideas?

Use Chromakey to key out the black background in the star field.
I found that the effect looks better if you select “Show mask only” in the chromakeyer.
Adjust the opacity on the stars if desired. -
Perhaps a masked copy (pan/Crop) of your starfield media (moving or static) that is croped to fit just the window, it is on it’s own track for positioning and then reduce to 36 to 45 % opacity. It worked well for me but I may not be envisioning your setup precisely.
