DESCRIPTION

Blend modes, which Final Cut Pro 7 called “composite modes,” combine images based upon their gray-scale or color values. Which sounds weird until you start to play with it. Think of blend modes as "sharing textures between images." What makes blend modes so exciting is that they are easy to apply, yet open up a world of creative possibilities.

In this one-hour online training, join host, Larry Jordan, as he shows you how blend modes can take your effects to an entirely different level. You can use them to add texture to text, enhance images, or make images look totally surreal.

During this webinar, you’ll learn how to apply and remove blend modes, what different blend modes can do, then see more than a dozen examples showcasing how to use blend modes in a variety of projects.
