Gah – ok. My point is that Multiply behaves differently in Photoshop. And you can see what I am trying to achieve. Imagine this in PS –
1) document 1920×768, background image fills document, photo of whatever – a field.
2) layer above it, only a small square, the rest transparent – layer set to Multiply mode.
So it’s just like putting a sheet of acetate onto a photo – doubling up the image where it counts but NOT adding black wherever it is transparent! Anyway – I’ve been trying all sorts with Masking – am pretty certain this is the key to the solution. Whatever that is..

BTW – ignore figure on left. That was a green-screen filming, chroma-keyed out with the body copletely silhouetted out. I don’t want to do anything like chromakeying with the one on right, just to plonk it on top of everything else, as the clash of elements (and having it pushed down in the visual mix) is what I want to achieve!
Besides, it was filmed on a white background so that would be pretty difficult!

Hmm. Multiply in Vegas definitely works differently to Vegas.
Here is what I mean.

TOP – my video with new clip on top – obviously, regular source alpha mode, where it blocks everything underneath it.
MIDDLE – same layer, but with Multiply compositing mode. Fine where the “solid” video goes, but for some reason totally black everywhere else.
BOTTOM – How I actually want it, with the right figure overlaid on top of all the other video showing all underneath.
Hope that’s clear! Thanks for trying to help…
