The Matte Threshold settings work with the Alpha channel of the selected background texture. Use the Matte Threshold slider to change the white threshold of the matteās gradient. Double-click the Matte Threshold field to enter a precise value.
Activate Transp to make the Alpha channel blend with the foreground image. When disabled, the Alpha channel is only used to determine how the pixels are drawn. To take advantage of this feature, the Alpha channel of your clip or image must have a gradient.
