Composite

The composition type Composite is a transition and combines composition methods with the Transform effect. It is not animated by default but has keyframes which gives you fine control over what is happening when. The Opacity parameter controls the level of compositing with the selected Compositing method.

The Composite transition by default assigns a simple dissolve. You can select a different Composite Method, download from KDE Store, or use a file from your local file system.

Settings for the Composite transition

Only the parameters below the keyframe ruler can be animated via keyframes. By default, this composition just applies the selected Composite Method. You can use the keyframes to move and scale the clip. Use Opacity to control the amount of compositing. Softness controls the amount of feathering (0 creates a sharp edge between the clips).

This list shows the standard available composite methods:
