PIP shadow and light problam

Post by Adler »

Hi!
When using PIP and customize it with shadow or light i get like 100% in the opacity of the shadow even if it's only 10%.. I think a picture will explain better :
actually it is not 100% opacity it's simply something alse.. here take a look :

Hi
Looks like you are using the PIP in the main video track of the timeline. The preferred method is to use the overlay track. There is a very good tutorial on the use of the PIP that specifically deals with opacity issue here:

The PIP filter is designed to be used with one of the Masks in an Overlay track. Without applying a Mask, specifically the one described in the tutorial pointed out by Mitchell, you will get this sort of behavior from it.

OK Thanks so the point is that I must apply the mask and without it it's no good...
