    How to set as overlay

    posted to: Modeling a Logo pt. 2

    Hello Jonathan, 

    I am enjoying the modeling course!

    I have a question that is a little off the subject. 

    I watched your video in Blender Basic course on how to use the Grease Pencil in 3D. 

    How would go about setting this 2D animation as an overlay to a video in Blender video editor?

      Hi Eugene,

      If the GP Animation has an Alpha, you can simply place the Strip above the Background Video and set the Blend Mode of the top (GP) Strip to Alpha Over:

      How do I check if GP animation has an Alpha?

      Set the Film to Transparent, before Rendering:

      Hey Martin, I didn't do overlay in Blender yet but I did it in Final Cut Pro and it worked.! The animation done with GP is transparent and is working fine on top of my video - Sun is shining baby 🌞.  I thought you might want to know. 



      In addition to checkmarking 'Transparent' under Film like you suggested I had to select those settings in Output properties:



      Thank you again man 🙏

      P.S. I still couldn't figure out the issue with the video from the other feed. I couldn't find no nodes through.
