Remove a video background (white, black or green)
Put the overlay video (for example a "subscribe" animation on a white background) on V2 above your main video, then right-click it ▸ Remove Background (or click Remove Background in Effect Controls).
Reelsmith detects the background colour from the frame edges and sets up Ultra Key for you:
- Mode: Brightness for white, black or grey backgrounds; Colour for green or blue screens.
- Keep inside (edges only): removes only the background that touches the frame edges, so white text or icons inside the animation stay visible.
- Tolerance / Softness: raise Tolerance if a light fringe remains; lower it if parts of the animation disappear.
Then scale and move the clip (Effect Controls ▸ Motion or drag it in the Program monitor) to place it, e.g. at the bottom of the frame.
Shortcuts show the Mac keys: on Windows and Linux use Ctrl for ⌘ and Alt for ⌥.
