Effects and transitions
Set Matte effect
The Set Matte effect replaces the alpha channel (matte) of a clip with a channel from a clip in a different video track.
This creates traveling matte results.
Note: The Set Matte effect was originally developed for After Effects. It is included in Premiere Pro only to provide
compatibility with projects created in earlier versions of After Effects that use the Set Matte effect.

To create a traveling matte using the Set Matte effect, set up a sequence with two overlapping clips on different video
tracks. Apply the Set Matte effect to one of the clips and specify which clip provides the replacement matte. Although
you can use Set Matte for a traveling matte, it is easier and faster to create traveling mattes by using the Track Matte
Key effect.

matte lets the image show through only where the current matte and the new matte both have some opacity.
Premultiplies the new matte with the current clip.

Solid Composite effect
The Solid Composite effect offers a quick way to create a composite of a solid color behind the original source clip. You
can control the opacity of the source clip, control the opacity of the solid, and apply blend modes all within the effect's
controls.
