Mix / Blend Movies 2.0 is a very flexible and effective tool which combines the capabilites of 'minify', 'multiple movies' and 'simple mask' plug-ins into a single, powerful, and incredibly easy-to-use package, and then improves on them.

Major Features:

1. Position, and re-size the movie to be inserted anywhere on the clip (this means that the you are not limited to a 1:1 blend!)
2. Auto-generate a wide range of blend masks (16 base masks with millions of variants each)
3. Import blend masks created with other applications
4. Create blend masks from any picture
5. Auto-scale the blend mask to fit the blended movie (freeing you of this tedious task)
6. Auto-sync the imported movie to the clip''s length, ensuring that they play exactly the same time (making filming the two clips much easier)
7. Auto-enforce proportions, so you can re-size the imported movie without distoring it
   
8. The plug-in comes with 32 professional blend masks. Since this plug-in allows you to place and blend movies at arbitrary size with arbitrary blend masks, it allows effects in a single pass that most FCE users will be hard-pressed to achieve in a whole day. finally, as a member of ''reference class'' series, it also allows real-time preview for all editing.

chromakey movie 2.0 is an advanced program which satisfies you with an IMovie plug-in for blue /green-screening.

"Best-of-class compositing ('blue-', 'green-screening') plugin" for iMovie. But what does it do? Simply put, it allows you to intelligently blend two movies dynamically. This is more than applying a simple transparency mask because it allows you to target any color in one of your movies and make that color transparent.

This mask is re-calculated dynamically for every frame in your clip. The best known (and probably most often) example for this technique is a newscaster in front of the white house. The process of intelligently combining two sources is also sometimes called 'compositing'. The technique of replacing a key color with a whole picture is also called 'chroma keying'.

Note: There is a spcialized plug called 'chromakey static' that works with a movie and a (static) picture. Chromakey Movie also works with pictures - but if all you want is compositing pictures and animated material, you should work with the more efficient 'chromakey static' plug.
