Blending modes

You can select the way in which Premiere Pro blends, or superimposes, a clip on a track in a Timeline with the clip or
clips on lower tracks.
For more information about the Subtract and Divide blend modes,
Chris and Trish Meyer explain and demonstrate blending modes in Premiere Pro
Coalition website.

1 In a Timeline, place a clip on a track higher than a track where another clip is located. Premiere Pro superimposes,
or blends, the clip in the higher track over the clip in the lower track.
2 Select the clip in the higher track, and select the Effect Controls panel to make it active.
In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle next to Opacity.
3
Drag the Opacity value to the left to set the opacity to less than 100%.

5 Click the triangle in the Blend Mode menu.
Select a blend mode from the list of blend modes.

Blend mode reference
For in-depth information about the concepts and algorithms behind these blend modes as implemented in several
Adobe applications, see the PDF reference material
The Blend Mode menu is subdivided into six categories based on similarities between the results of the blend modes.
The category names do not appear in the interface; the categories are simply separated by dividing lines in the menu.
Normal, Dissolve. The result color of a pixel is not affected by the color of the underlying pixel unless
Normal category
Opacity is less than 100% for the source layer. The Dissolve blend modes turn some of the pixels of the source layer
transparent.
Darken, Multiply, Color Burn, Linear Burn, Darker Color. These blend modes tend to darken
Subtractive category
colors, some by mixing colors in much the same way as mixing colored pigments in paint.
Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Linear Dodge (Add), Lighter Color. These blend modes tend to
Additive category
lighten colors, some by mixing colors in much the same way as mixing projected light.
Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix. These blend modes
Complex category
perform different operations on the source and underlying colors depending on whether one of the colors is lighter
than 50% gray.
Difference, Exclusion, Subtract (CS5.5 and later), Divide (CS5.5 and later). These blend modes
Difference category
create colors based on the differences between the values of the source color and the underlying color.
Hue, Saturation, Color, Luminosity. These blend modes transfer one or more of the components of the
HSL category
HSL representation of color (hue, saturation, and luminosity) from the underlying color to the result color.
