Editor’s Toolkit: Overlay Mattes and Transitional Wipes Overview
Variable transparency mattes and masks are a fundamental part of many
advanced compositing techniques, but they are also the basis of even the
simplest composites underlying the built-in titles, transitions and overlays
found in every editing application. Unfortunately, they can be tough to
understand, at least in part because they are invisible. The basic concept is
that the black and white parts of the mattes are used to generate transparency
between two clips, with the black areas being transparent to one clip and the
white areas being transparent to the other. The following tutorials explain, in
detail, how to use the Editor's Toolkit mattes. While we are working to
explicitly cover all of the industry standard editing application, if your
application is not currently listed, please take a look at an existing tutorial
to get you started: the terminology, track order and concepts are often nearly
identical in professional level editing applications.
