Hi Guillaume,

If you apply a Self Key with the DVE Key, there is a ‘Transparency’ parameter on the Self Key page to adjust the DVE key’s opacity.

Hello Aaron

Thanks for your answer.

I’m sorry, i can’t select self key and DVE Key at the same time.

In France we say Cheese or Dessert !!

I want to make a pip full key with an opacity.

Is it possible ?

Thanks

Hi Guillaume,

In Carbonite-land, we say cheese and dessert! Ok, we do not say that. But we like to implement functions that make sense.

Therefore, yes we can absolutely have a PIP with opacity. I have attached 2 screenshots to guide you.

Screenshot 1

1. Assign as a Self Key.
2. Select DVE.
3. Turn on DVE.

Screenshot 2

1. Go back to the Self Key parameters.
2. Bring down Clip and Gain to get back the image.
3. Adjust Transparency as required.

Hope this helps.
