These overlay options would have been ideal for Titles objects but sadly this is not allowed by the software. 100% tends to work better for these modes. We were initially thrown by the software's habit of reducing the upper layer's Opacity to 50% by default. The new Multiply and Add modes are similar to the Blend Modes found in Photoshop, overlaying colours so elements of both clips show through. There's precise control over the threshold using five handles on a greyscale bar (the Chroma Key effect gains these controls too) but the slow response to changes didn't help in our efforts to master them. Gray Key makes pixels on an upper layer more or less visible depending on their brightness.
New overlay options now sit alongside the existing Mask and Chroma key modes. In practice, there's no headline-grabbing new feature but a decent helping of smaller ones. The last update was all about improvements to performance and the interface, but this time the focus is on new features and creativity.
17 versions in, it has accrued a mass of features but it still manages to maintain its beginner-friendly appearance. VideoStudio has been a stalwart of consumer video editing since the 1990s.
