Composite and Transform

The composition type Composite and Transform combines Blending Modes and a Transform effect. It is not animated by default but has keyframes which gives you fine control over what is happening when. The Opacity parameter controls the level of compositing with the selected Compositing method.

Hint This is the only composition that gives you bitwise and Destination in and Destination out operations.

Only the parameters below the keyframe ruler can be animated via keyframes. By default, this composition just applies the selected Compositing method. You can use the keyframes to move, scale, and rotate the clip. Use Opacity to control the amount of compositing.

This list shows the available Compositing methods (see the timeline setup above):

Wipe Method	Example	Notes
Alpha blend		A clip with an alpha channel (or an alpha mask effect)[[1]] is required. The alpha channel lets show through the clip in the Composition track.
Xor		A clip with an alpha channel (or an alpha mask effect)[[1]] is required. Has the same effect as the Compositing Destination in.

Destination in		A clip with an alpha channel (or an alpha mask effect) is required. The clip in the Composition track is essentially clipped by the alpha channel.
Destination out		A clip with an alpha channel (or an alpha mask effect) is required. The clip in the Composition track is essentially clipped by the alpha channel.

In this context, an alpha mask effect could be any effect from the Alpha, Mask and Keying effects category that creates an alpha channel. For example, Alpha Shapes, Chroma Key: Basic, or Rotoscoping. *[RGB]: Red Green Blue
