Here's a question by e-mail:
How do I remove the background picture of a BixPack 31 template so I can use only the lower third in my video?
Short answer: delete the background layer(s), export with alpha channel and import the result in your NLE.
The long answer is in the comments:
STEP 1: delete the background layer(s)
BluffTitler shows are built out of layers.
Layers can be selected:
-with the dropdown above the PLAY button
-or by double clicking on them
The active layer can be deleted:
-by choosing LAYER > Delete active layer...
-or by clicking on the DELETE ACTIVE LAYER button

STEP 3: import your video in your NLE
This screenshot uses VEGAS Pro 16.0
Make sure to:
-place your transparent video on top of the background video
-right click on the transparent video and set the Alpha channel to STRAIGHT (UNMATTED)

I'm making BluffTitler known to everyone, it can be used with any editing software, from the most famous to the less famous.
