Dear Michiel,

I have a problem, I made a Blufftitler graphic, I use this graphic in my video editing program.
I export it as png because it is fixed throughout the video.
Where is green I make the chroma key, can I place the transparent black instead?
If the background is black you can, but I also have the skybox layer.
I tried inserting a naught picture, but it did not work.
Can I do somehow?
Thank you.

Why not instead of green make it transparant png?

I did it with a graphics program like Photoshop, but I wanted to know if it could be done with BluffTitler, it could serve.
if I put a transparent png inside the window, rightly, you see the skybox behind

Yes, there you will see the background, in this case the skymap.

But you can put an image or video behind the graphic also with 2d in foreground.
Just make sure that the graphic is later (higher number layer)then the picture or video.

You can move a layer with the combo ALT [ to go up or ALT ] to go down.

Thank you Komies,

but I don't want to insert here (in BluffTitler) the video, I must use the video editor because the video is very long.

So there are 3 layers:
1) the skybox
2) the video
3) the frame

When you render them in this order, I think you will get what you want.

Most video editing tools have no problems compositing those 3 elements.

It can also be done in BluffTitler, but for long videos it's indeed better to use your video editing app.

I would create the frame in a separate show and export as a transparent PNG, or if it animates as a transparent AVI.

Both formats will be no problem for your video editing app.

Sorry Michiel for the use not really suitable,
Perhaps chroma key is the only fast system.
But it's a great idea to compose the graphics as you said on multiple levels.

Thanks so much.
