Transparency
Use this function to define the transparency of a clip in front of a background.
You can enter a value between 0 and 100 (completely transparent). With Edge Softness you can create a
transparency gradient, in which transparency increases towards the edge of the clip. With an edge soft-
ness of 100 (maximum setting), clip contours practically disappear. Edge Softness also alters a clips out-
side border.
Tr an s p a re n c y values in overlapping areas of a clip are handled cumulatively. For example if you specified
a transparent inside border, this transparency is added to the transparency of the overall clip or to that of
Edge Softness.
