    I have a video clip of a butterfly moving around with a black backround. I am trying to figure out a way to get rid of the black background as I only want the butterfly flying around. The reason why is because I want to superimpose the butterfly clip over another clip in my timeline which is a video of someone talking in a kitchen. 
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    That’s called a luma key and you should search for that term in the FCP manual. Luma keys are typically imperfect…

    If you take your butterfly clip and place it above your video that you want to superimpose over. Then right click or command click and go down to where it says Composite Mode and select Screen. That should do it.
