To create a composite using an OFX plug-in:

1 Open the Open FX panel, use the Library to find the OFX compositing plug-in that you want to

use, and drag it onto the appropriate node to apply it. The above example shows the Boris Effects

plug-in “BCC Composite,” which mathematically combines two image streams using one of a long

list of blending modes.

2 Right-click the node with the Open FX plug-in applied to it, and choose Second Layer Input from

the contextual menu. A second RGB input should appear on the left of the node, underneath

the first.

3 Open the Media page, locate the clip you want to composite in the Library, and import it as an

unassigned matte.

4 Open the Color page again, right-click the node with the Open FX plug-in applied to it, and

choose Add Matte > Track Mattes > “name of matte imported in step 3” from the contextual menu.

5 By default, the EXT MATTE node that appears is connected via one of its key outputs. Delete the

key connection, and drag a new connection line from the EXT MATTE node’s RGB output to the

second RGB input of the node with the OpenFX plug-in.

6 At this point, the node tree is wired up to composite the clip with the EXT MATTE image, and you

need only adjust the parameters of the Open FX plug-in to achieve the result you desire.
